Customization in Fairy Fencer F is fun thanks to a flexible system that lets you distribute experience points however you want. When I wasn’t laughing at silly banter, I was happily shaping what kind of Fencer I wanted each of them to be. This one-two punch of cheeky localization and enthusiastic voice over kept me engaged in Fairy Fencer F long after I stopped caring about the plot. Admittedly, a lot of the non-voiced dialogue is pretty asinine, but the translation team slyly sprinkles in some Western humor to spice things up, including terms like “tsundere masochistic” and an allusion to a famous Space Balls quote that that had me cracking up. Everyone from the lazy, self-centered protagonist Fang to the stuck-up Tiara, boasts distinct personalities, enhanced by voice actors who really chew the scenery with hilariously over-the-top line delivery.
Luckily, Fairy Fencer F’s ho-hum story is buoyed up by its likable characters. That’s a shame, especially since you’d think a story about preventing an apocalyptic resurrection of warring gods would be more a lot more interesting. Fencers (those able to wield fairy-infused weapons) collecting Furies (said fairy-infused weapons) is what drives the straightforward plot, which doesn’t offer much in the way of excitement or surprises.
