I’m sorry if I offended you in any way,but I’m telling the truth and if you don’t believe me,OK. But just be cool about it man,don’t go calling people liars.
Oh, and P.S.:
On the Japanese version of the game, when you fight with Killer the first time, he’s Fire, but when you fight him as Malice Killer in The Gate, his element is Dark.

If Yuri and Killer …
If Yuri and Killer aren’t related, fine by me.I’m just telling you my point of view and Hirota’s.I’m not forcing you to believe me.And I was just commenting;I don’t think I have to SHOW you proof of anything.I know that you’re thinking “Of course he’s ed, that shows that you really aren’t related”,but how would you feel if someone insisted on calling you a liar? (Continued on next reply)

It is easy to say …
It is easy to say that. Lemmie guess, you don’t have proof you’re related to said person either?
There is no hint in the game that Yuri and Killer are related. Yay, they look similar… apart from that they have a different haircolour and Yuri’s element is Dark and not Fire, which Killer has.

I don’t expect you …
I don’t expect you to believe me. I get that a lot *laughs*. But if what you want is a written source, then I really can’t help you there. I’m just telling you Hirota’s point of view, based on what he’s heard on the crew and his own opinion (at least that’s what he told me). We got to talking when I went for a visit in Osaka and he really didn’t tell me much. I just met him at that time and Japanese people aren’t really that open when it comes to first time encounters.

Well, OK. Good …
Well, OK. Good enough. I guess you can say that the story has a lot of ways that you can interpret it. It’s good to know every opinion and point of view from different players around the world.
By alejkarke on Aug 5, 2009
Oh yeah, of course …
Oh yeah, of course I believe that. Now give me a source where it is written by the person himself.

No, not really. She …
No, not really. She fell in love with Yuri, but Yuri didn’t was in love with Alice, who kept coming back from the dead, the greedy woman she is.
Karin loved Yuri so much, that all she wanted to be was at Yuri’s side when the world was being destroyed. Because Yuri wanted to be somewhere else, Karin ended being his mother and later on die, due to that attack on his house.
By Piisuke on Aug 5, 2009
Karin loves Yuri. …
Karin loves Yuri. She tells him, and it’s not even necessary cause’ it even shows throughout the game. But if you think about it carefully, she really loved him like a mother loves her child. She didn’t really know that, of course.

I’m cousin to Yoshitaka Hirota. That’s my source.

I have played all …
I have played all the games, hence I said the ending of SH2 was horrible. Alice is dead, get over it. Now, Karen who loved Yuri so much is forced into her being his mother. What a pain. The burden of loving your son as if he was your lover. Remember when Yuri sat on the bench and said he was named after his mother’s first lover? Oh the cruelty. Man, what a horrible, horrible ending to a great game.
By Piisuke on Aug 5, 2009
As far as I …
As far as I remember, Killer is unrelated to Yuri. They simply look alike. Please give me a source.

(Last reply, don’t …
(Last reply, don’t get anxious!)Unfortunately, Yuri took a wrong path and became the bad guy in SH3, known as Killer. So if you see, it’s a cool storyline. I’m not saying that I liked the fact that they changed the main character, but seeing it from the good side, Yuri’s still in the game. Please comment about my opinion. Thank You!

(Reply continued). …
(Reply continued). She becomes his wife and they have Yuri as their son. Karin changes her name to Anne (Anastasia changed her legal papers, legally naming her Anne and a Russian). People that have played SH2 until the end know this. And in SH3, the story continues because what really died was Yuri’s counsciousness and soul; this left in the world a body with no memory at all. (Continued in the next and last reply).

I personally think …
I personally think you’re wrong. You see, every Shadow Hearts game has 2 endings (good and bad), right? But here’s the thing: the real endings are the bad ones. In SH1, Alice dies and the story in the second game continues with that. In SH2, Yuri dies and Karin goes into the past and meets with Yuri’s father. (Continued in my next reply).
By alejkarke on Aug 5, 2009
You HAVE to play …
You HAVE to play the first 2 Shadow Hearts games to fully understand the storyline. Also, be sure to watch the Shadow Hearts 2 ending completely (including the scene after the credits roll).
By alejkarke on Aug 5, 2009
The ending was …
The ending was horrible. What a joke. Karen was humiliated.

Lenny, mention of the Apoina Tower, the Emigere, Roger Bacon, Valentine family, gay bro. #1, and a few other things.
It’s Shadow Hearts, not Yuri.

In a way I’m happy …
In a way I’m happy he died, though, because he got to be with Alice; even though the ending did make me cry. I agree, though, that 3 was severely lacking despite the fact that I did like the majority of the characters, like Frank and Killer. It really had nothing to do with the rest of the Shadow Hearts storyline.

I’ve never played the game before, but this music is still ok ^^ 4/5

Such a commanding piece…
I wish we had more pieces like this one in other RPGs too.
And I’d love to listen more from those composers.
