The two protagonists are Kojiroh Amagi and Marina Hojo. (Yes, this is one reason I dislike dubs.)ĮVE uses a dual protagonist system. I also liked having the original Japanese voices, because the game takes place in Japan and it sounds odd to hear perfect English coming from a native Japanese person. I give kudos to C’s Ware for hiring such stellar voice talent.
No matter what the language, you can tell if the actor/actress is conveying the proper emotions appropriate to his/her character and situation.
Even though my understanding of Japanese is somewhat limited, the emotions and tensions conveyed by the characters throughout the story were wonderfully portrayed. I recognized some of the seiyuu from various popular anime, such as Junko Iwao who’s had major roles in X, Key the Metal Idol, and a long list of other anime and games to her credit. This makes them all the more three-dimensional and very lifelike.Īll the dialogue is voiced very well, and in its original Japanese form to boot. Both the main and supporting characters have complex personalities and go through a variety of emotions in myriad situations. The characters are very human and easy to relate to. Thankfully, the plot is excellent dare I say the best storyline I’ve encountered in a video game? There’s action, romance, humor, sexual tension, mystery, suspense, deep character development…in short, it has everything you could ever want in a story. An RPG with a sub-par plot can be saved by awesome gameplay (such as Phantasy Star Online), but EVE hasn’t much gameplay, per se, to fall back on. And unlike Western style adventure games like Monkey Island or The Longest Journey, EVE doesn’t have any wonky logic puzzles, an active inventory, or highly interactive environments.īut to have such a heavy emphasis on story could either make or break a digital comic. Unlike proverbial RPGs, which strike a nice balance between story and gameplay, EVE is pretty much all story with (mostly) still pictures. EVE: Burst Error (EVE) is what many call a Digital Comic, and for good reason.
