– not a game that is easily accessible by those that have never played a Japanese RPG before – actual game length is pretty short for a Japanese RPG: about 15-20 hours – several difficulty levels extend replayability – crafting is intuitive and you can make some really cool gear with it – combat system is fun and a lot more action packed than a typical Japanese RPG I actually enjoyed the game more on subsequent playthroughs – meaning either the game is just more fun to play once you know what to expect or the cutscenes kind of bored me and I skipped them all the second and third time around. Some may wonder if it’s worth it, and my only response is that depends on how much of a Japanese RPG fan you are. At my current rate it’ll take me probably another 30 hours or so to beat, which means I’ll have ended up spending over 80 hours to get the 1000 Achievement points for this game. I’m currently playing the game on the hardest mode, Infinity, and I’m about 10 hours in but it’s going ultra slow because enemies are a lot stronger and I’m trying to nab the last few Achievements I didn’t get on the previous times through. I actually beat the game on Hard difficulty a little under 10 hours because I raced through it, skipping all cutscenes and optional quests, but then had to put in another 10 hours to gear up and grind to beat the optional end-game dungeon. So, I’ve been slowly making my way along, and have spent about 40 hours total on the game: 20 hours to beat it on Normal difficulty and then another 20 to beat it on Hard difficulty. I’ve been playing this game for over a month now, but what can I say – it’s a Japanese RPG and I only get a couple hours each night to play video games. Infinite Undiscovery is worth a look for 360 Japanese RPG fans, but maybe not for the Japanese RPG initiate.
