I’m glad that RPG developers are making an effort to make games that are exclusive to the PSP platform. Really, I am!
However, why the heck did Namco-Bandai bother making Legend of Heroes III: Song of the Ocean? I mean, the game graphics are almost exactly the same, the characters are all-too-familiar, and it’s all quite repetitive and boring if you’ve already played the first two. It’s like making the sequel to the grandfather clock… why bother, unless you’re going to change it up a bit?
Sporting a Zelda-style action RPG dynamic, Legend of Heroes III gives a bit of a bad name to the genre. In fact, the titles are far more interesting, most of the time, than the actual gameplay.
Like I said, I’m glad Namco-Bandai is making original-to-PSP RPGs. I just wish they’d make some that were actually more interesting.
