Plentiful by any definition!

Agarest: Generations of War - Collector's Edition, a fantastic kawaii tactical RPG coming with a full soundtrack, digital artbook, and more sweet, sweet bonus content, is available 50% off, DRM-free on GOG.com. With such a discount we don't see a good reason to pass on the collector's version, and get the cheaper regular edition, but if you make that call remember that you can always go for an upgrade later. The -50% discount for all three items (collectors edition, standard edition, and collector's edition upgrade) lasts until Monday, December 8, at 10:59AM GMT.

Agarest: Generations of War - Collector's Edition includes many unique features that cannot be found in any other Strategy Role Playing Game. It takes place across 5 generations of heroes, starting with your first character, Leonhardt. During each generation you will build relationships with 3 different female party members, and at the end of each generation's story arc you must choose to marry one of the girls. Unite with your chosen heroine and use the “Soul Breed” system to shape the fate of the next generation of heroes. Build your ultimate army of warriors and master Extra Skills, Special Arts and Over Kills to defeat colossal enemies! Choose the path of Darkness or Light through a truly epic story, spanning multiple generations, and battle hundreds of different creatures using an array of character abilities, in a compelling and innovative turn-based combat system.

hafizadam: even if the DLCs are cheats, why GOG is better?
Steam doesnt give DRM-free?
Of course not. Steam itself is DRM. Even those games that some call drm-free because they don't require steam running to play them still require steam to install. Which is still DRM at the end of the day.

Is the base version here the same, as I see only 2 buyable dlc packs on steam? The 7 which are listed seem to be part of the base game. Can anyone confirm that?

And those 2 dlcs only contain stat boosts and items.

For people wondering about some missing DLCs, it's essentially as some people are saying, these DLCs which we don't have are things such as stat increases or other items which are unlockable in-game. We decided not to go with these DLCs as they don't actually add significant new content to the game

Only the install/download which on Steam is pretty much the same thing, after that you never need Steam again (for those games).

You're making the decision whether these people get to buy those DLC or not based on what you think of those DLC? Shouldn't that be up to the customers?

Oh nice, thanks for the response. It it the right decision in my opinion to not add the dlcs, when they are only stat boosts or items.

Thanks TurnipSlayerr

7 DLC-Bundles on Steam:
one bundle with artbook, soundtrack, etc. (are the Collection Edition on GoG),
five bundles with stats increasing and extra items,
and one bundle to unlock gallery and extra voices, but you can unlock it with playing the game.

Clearly it's not. :P

Sounds and looks like my kind of a game.

Not a big JRPG fan, but this looks really good.

I saw this on Steam and am really happy if came to GOG.First dating sim on here as well (not completely, but you get it).

Additional DLCs do complicate matters more for us and do clutter the catalogue. We felt that based on reactions to other DLC releases that the reaction to such DLC would not be positive and so we decided not to include it for the release. If people feel strongly about this then they can feel free to comment here. If we feel that there is a significant enough interest in such DLCs then we may reconsider this.

Instant wishlisted because no money now but definitely wonderful piece of art among other things - a must have. ;-)

Thanks GOG. RPGs are always welcome. Especially J-RPGs, which are underepresented here.

Nice to see Ghostlight on the GOG train. :) Hopefully we'll get more of their games.

I've heard the first Agarest isn't that great (since it's basically just battle after battle after battle and very little substance), but I think I'll actually buy the game in support of getting more Japanese games on GOG.

Siegor: Looks nice and although I love a good turn based strategy RPG I'm a bit cautious about japanese titles since they usually expect you to grind previous missions over and over again in order to tackle new content (take Disgaea for example).
Not sure how experienced you are with Japanese tactical games, but Disgaea is by no means representative of the sub-genre as a whole. In fact, Disgaea would be a more extreme example of the more grinding-focused SRPGs. In my experience, most games in this genre (particularly more modern examples) tend to not rely on grinding for progression.

Getting back to the OP, I'm very happy to see Ghostlight on board, since I love niche Japanese games. It's just a shame that Agarest apparently isn't very good. =/ But I'm still going to buy this in order to encourage Ghostlight to release more games on the service. I'm particularly hoping that we'll eventually see Elminage Gothic and Way of the Samurai 4 here, since I think those games would resonate well with GOG customers.

By the way, GOG, I would be careful with sentences like "Agarest: Generations of War - Collector's Edition includes many unique features that cannot be found in any other Strategy Role Playing Game". I can definitely tell you that Agarest is neither the first nor the last SRPG to feature multiple generations of heroes and breeding/dating sim elements. =P
