Hi I'm back

PS2 original had a stamina system and was mostly focused on just using basic attacks and not running out of stamina since it dazes you if you run out and makes you very vulnerable to attacks while you wait for the stamina meter to fill. The reworked system has a lot of special attacks.

You can still play the original in Leifthrasir by switching to classic mode in main menu.

Ahh, I see, I see. Thank you.

Really? I didn't notice any mechanical difference at all.

I tried to like the PS2 game. But I just couldn't get into it. It wasn't fun for me at all.

the playstyle is diferent in this and ps3 version, they remake it like murasama the demon blade, to be more faster and action focused, ps2 dont have nothing to do compared to leifhrasir

 

[RageBurner]

It's quite good. Strangely, emulating the PS3 version felt smoother than the Vita one.

The only thing I know is that I played the original PS2 game and it was quite good especially for its story, its gameplay, its game system, graphics with 2D aesthetics that looked wonderful for a game from 2007 and musically it is wonderful too and the learning curve is high but not so unfair if you know how to adapt to the game system that the game has but I found out here which also had a port for the VITA but I think it also looks very good as in the PS2 version.

I remember wanting to buy this game for Playstation 2 at the time, but the price was quite high.

I beat the game on PS2. Faster XP gain would have been nice, and more inventory space, and a few other things. Other than slowdown while in the underworld (due to fog) the game ran fine and was beautiful.

About the title, there was a discussion about it on the other thread on the Disqus platform when you posted the US version but the reason it's Leifthrasir is that the character "Þ" is used which is "Thorn" i.e. the strong TH sound in words like Thunder, Thorn, Thing, etc. that is still used in modern English and many other Germanic languages although not always notated whereas the weak th sound like in words such as This, There, That etc. is the character Eth "ð" also not used in written modern English but the sound is still there as well. Some dictionaries will still note it when you look up words to help you figure out how to pronounce them. Since the game is loosely based on old Germanic/Nordic religion and folklore that's why the developers did that.

Also btw, about the game. Pretty good. Much better than original PS2 release of Odin Sphere with the reworked gameplay, although the original gameplay is an option as well if you're a bit of a masochist. Not as brutal of load times either, which was a huge issue on the original game.

Technically it's Odin Sphere: Lover of life

the original ps2 gameplay is an option as well if you're a bit of a masochist.

I have 100%ed it on PS2 Not that I had other options, since I bought it day-one for ps2: I remember I used a reference picture for all the events, because I wanted to complete every bit of it.
It's been a very beautiful game, everything about it was awesome (artstyle, music, gameplay, characters, story), I recommend it especially in this new version. And please take a look at "Muramasa" as well, if you enjoy similar 2d gameplay but with a totally different setting.
