This is my first Impressions post, so I’d like to start with an explanation of what I mean by that. Some games don’t lend themselves well to being reviewed. A good example of this are MMORPGs. For games that aren’t properly reviewable that I play, I’ll be doing impressions posts. These posts will be a more informal touch on the game. The reason Agarest Zero is getting an impressions post, is that for a strategy rpg like this – a full review would take pages and pages – and would benefit nearly nobody. So I’ll touch briefly on a few things to be aware of for people who are either just starting this game or who are on the fence and just need to know a bit more. Any and all Impressions posts will be more likely to have spoilers in them than a normal review, as well.
