So if you like action rpgs and/or Celtic mythology, have I got a game for you!

Folklore PlayStation 3 Trailer - Japanese Trailer


Seriously. This game rocks. It's an early PS3 game, so the graphics and controls are not as polished as say... Bayonetta, but in all honesty, it doesn't matter. If Soma Cruz was English and decidedly prettier (and in a PS3 game), he'd be Keats.

Some of the bosses are absolutely IMPOSSIBLE without acquiring the right Folk's Id's before engaging them, but the game doesn't tell you WHICH Id's you'll need, so you either collect all the Id's in each stage or just wing it. Basically it's a combination of Aria of Sorrow, Pokemon, and Celtic myth.

The US release changed a few names for real world accuracy (like the fictional town of Lemrick being changed to the QUITE REAL town of Doolin) but few other changes have been made, and none have been made that really alters the game. The story is pretty decent, and HOLY CRAP KEATS.

It puts the "Fantasy" back in "fantasy game", and yet it sold horribly. We need to fix this.

Rent it, at the very least.

Seems awesome, but oh wait, console wars, I don't have a PS3

Either way the soundtrack sounds like it's on some godlike Hokuto no Ken: Ken's Rage shit.

it is actually a really fun game, i picked it up used at a pawn shop a few years ago (only way i have ever seen it around here.) but sadly i haven't finished it due to my console game time being severely limited.

Man! Thats crazy! The same band/singer from Sengoku Basara and D. Gray Man, or they are pursuing me or Im lucky 
Everything that is involved with this band certainly deserves a try, but since I dont have a PS3 and not even a 360, I will cry
