Came across this whilst rummaging through the play-asia PS2 catalogue. Made a bargain on ebay and received it about two weeks ago. So i had no real intention like “OMGMUSTHAVEWTFBBQ”. And maybe that’s what keeps me from getting angrier by the day about this game.Well, i guess i shouldn’t be getting angrier since i was just misguided by thinking this could be a cool action adventure…but that’s what happens if you don’t read descriptions like the one on the play-asia site. It’s actually a text adventure for Playstation2 withfoll voice support of the original voice actors from the anime. Realta Nua is the sequel to the long available ataraxxia.

Why do my hopes always get crushed when i buy a game that’s anime-, or in this case eroge-visual-novel themed. I was hoping for some action by running around in a beautiful 3D environment, becoming a proper Master and joining the Holy Grail Wars by thursting Saber or any other Servants into battle. But, no… i get another graphic novel. Serves me right.

But don’t get me wrong. The game has beautiful visuals and the voice acting is another bonus for fans of the previous game. Just not my cup of tea i guess. Since i haven’t had the time to powerlevel my japanese yet and am still waiting for my results of last years Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 4, i’m not too content with what’s going on in the game.

I said another graphic novel. Yes that’s right, i bought the special edition as you ca see from the pictures, which came with a gashapon of Saber and a PlayStation Portable Fate/stay Night game which i think happens to be another graphic/text. I dind’t get really far into it since i lost interest after about 15 minutes of clicking me through in the hope that something action-y happens…I guess a more detailed review will follow later this year after i gained more japanese vocabulary/kanji.

And here i resent to you the Saber gashapon figure that came with my copy of the game:
