While thereвЂ™s no Japanese language option, the English dub is well done with a great cast that fits every character. The original artwork for characters has been completely redone to feature more detailed models during cutscenes and major characters have all received voice work while minor ones have a handful of voice lines. Even many of the side characters are a great part of progressing, and although they may not appear in most of the story, theyвЂ™ll almost always have their own side quest of some kind that will teach Stocke even more about them.ДЄs Perfect Chronology is a remake, it brings along a few new things along with it. Each character is also expanded upon in a good amount of detail, so each one truly feels important to the story as it progresses. Early on Stocke will mostly be with the same two party members who stay with him through most of the story, but others that join along the way add even more unique ways to approach combat. Every character receives a mix of physical and magic attacks or buffs which makes putting together different parties fun. The cast of characters are fun and unique, each coming with their own strengths and abilities. These are the main way to dish out big numbers and the strategic nature of this system is required in order to beat many challenging foes. Characters can switch turns with one another or even enemies to work towards pulling off larger combos. As only three characters are fighting at once, normal combo chances will be three hits in a row, but players are able to change positions in order to build these up. Allies who attack the same enemy one after the other will build up the combo number and each subsequent hit from an ally will deal more damage than the last. Displayed on the bottom screen is the turns between both enemies and allies. Many characters are able to push or pull enemies to move them away and thatвЂ™s the start of building combos. The closer enemies are, the more damage they will deal. Enemies are spread out on a 3 by 3 grid, where they are able to move around on their turn. ItвЂ™s also a great way to allow players to go back and train on lower-leveled enemies should they find themselves against a tough enemy or wanting to challenge a boss theyвЂ™d fought previously again.Д¬ombat is the other great twist on this RPG, as the layout is unique for a turn-based title. Traveling through time plays more than just an important role in progressing the story, as many side quests along the way will only be completed upon reaching further points in the story while traveling back and fourth. Stocke will frequently have to make decisions throughout his journey that often end badly for the world or cast of characters. In order to progress the story, he must jump between these two timelines and change events or find certain items unavailable in one to find the true history. This creates the standard and alternate history timelines, which Stocke will freely travel between. Towards the beginning there is a split in this timeline, determined by a decision Stocke makes. The main mechanic in Radiant Historia is traveling backwards and forwards through events that Stocke experiences. Although hesitant to believe them, Stocke is indeed able to go back and save his allies with his newfound information and decides to continue down this path to save the planet. Two mysterious figures are there waiting for him and inform him that he alone has the power to control the White Chronicle and go back in time in order to alter the fate of the very world from its destruction. Having witnessed his comrades fall in battle and being cornered, Stocke tries to survive by jumping from a bridge, but ends up transported to a strange alternate realm called Historia. Things go awry after finding the spy and suddenly the vision Stocke has seen becomes true. After meeting the two companions, Stocke is suddenly given a vision of them being slain after battle, which he finds odd but continues along thinking nothing more of it. His superior gives him an odd book called the White Chronicle and tells him that he is to go with two newly hired hands to fight along side. In the midst of a war, a young man by the name of Stocke is being sent on a mission to find an spy with information on the rival kingdom. Perfect Chronology is a return to this original concept that holds true to what made it stand out. Originally released seven years ago, Radiant Historia made its mark by building upon the basics of turn based combat and turning it into a grand new idea. Turn-based combat has been overshadowed by more real-time action series, so when a title like Radiant Historia comes along and manages to make it work in a unique way, it gets some attention. If thereвЂ™s one thing thatвЂ™s become less common in recent years, itвЂ™s the traditional RPG.
