Uh, Kingdom Hearts: Flames of Judgement? You just got my kind of excited there, until I realized you actually meant Vandal Hearts.... There's a lot of gore in the game, yes? Based on the reviews I've read, this new Vandal Hearts doesn't quite stand up to the originals. YES! THEY BROUGHT BACK THE BLOODY DEATHS THAT MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH T HE ORIGINAL!!! Not saying it stands up to the originals (plural) would be iffy just because it is not as good as vandal hearts 1, WAAAAY better than vandal hearts 2 either way, im a huge fan of Tactical RPGS, i wish they would make new Tactics Orge games for next gen systems, but they dont and i dont trust any of those arc system works/atlus titles to ever be any good because they always have a very generic animie feel (although i did enjoy Disgaea and luminous arc)
