I'm only getting Tales because I've been craving for a decent next-gen jRPG since forever. Disgaea is great, though. I love the humor and the dumb story. Plus, I LOVE leveling up and grinding. Best SRPG ever besides FFT - War of The Lions.

Infinite Undiscovery looks like FFXII to me, which is a huge turnoff.

You just described nearly every RPG ever made. What is it that makes Disgaea different. Throwing Prinnies?

I also don't get the hate for FF XII. The story was pretty interesting, even though it fell apart at the end, and I thought that the gambit system allowed some decent strategy (though I will say that it would have been better if it actually worked consistently)

Title: Re: Tales of Vesperia or Infinite Undiscovery?
Post by: BlueTsunami on August 24, 2008, 10:39:14 PM: I would get IU seeing as how the main story supposedly short but has lots of shit to do. So the amount of time you plunk into the game is what you decide.

Tales will probably be the typical 70 Hour Animu romp. The ToV does have me interested though seeing as how I'm playing through Tales of the Abyss

In terms of achievements, IU is an unknown right now - the secret achievements could end up being beastly, and we have no idea how much effort is required for the item and playtime achievements.

Dude, one of the secret achievmeents in Vespera is beating a boss at Level 15 or less. This is coupled with the insane ones like "reach max level" and the hidden methods of beating bosses. Vesperia is brutal. I am going to call it - hardest RPG achievements

Why do you keep saying LO has effort achievements? LO is CAKE, what is wrong with you

Title: Re: Tales of Vesperia or Infinite Undiscovery?
Post by: demi on August 25, 2008, 12:52:40 AM: Even if you miss a treasure in LO, you can rest easy knowing it's still available, unlike Blue Dragon where you are fucked on that and enemies if you miss one.

Have all Vesperia achievements been revealed? I'd imagine the guide coming out with Vesperia will tell them all. I still dont like Vesperia's achievements.
Title: Re: Tales of Vesperia or Infinite Undiscovery?
Post by: tiesto on August 25, 2008, 01:07:06 AM: In all seriousness, I'd go for IU for now, play that while saving for TOV... I'm a tri-Ace fanboy though, I plan on buying both but making my way through IU first.

Not that I'm defending ToV (character designs are a huge turnoff), but doesn't IU have the characters yelling out their special attacks during battle? And sounding really stupid?

I'm still gonna go with IU though. Tri-Ace has yet to let me down (although I disapproved of the creation skill gimping from SO2->SO3).

Not worth it. Keep the sumbish to play Stranger's Wrath and Sudeki. Anyways, I was smart and sold mine when I preordered my launch 360 way back in summer 2005, I got $170 on Ebay :) but now I cant play Stranger :'(

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/902/902768p2.html

7.5    Presentation
The story is engaging and while it does rely on many standards, there are some unique elements that help it stand out. Mysterious lack of voice dialogue in 20% of cut-scenes boggles the mind.
7.0    Graphics
There are moments when Infinite Undiscovery looks really good. In fact, you can really appreciate the detail when the framerate slows to a crawl. The character design is forgettable.
7.0    Sound
No Japanese voice option and average American voices will leave many unhappy. The score is one of the bright spots.
7.5    Gameplay
The real-time combat system is simple and enjoyable, but the Connect Attacks don't work well and there are far too many characters to manage for an RPG this short.
7.0    Lasting Appeal
For an RPG, this is a pretty brief experience. Doing everything may take you 35 hours, but the side quests are often so boring, it's a struggle to do it all.
7.1
Decent    OVERALL

I am going to buy it no matter what, but I still have a long way to go before I take back my claim that this is the best RPG this gen so far. I still think it looks really awesome outside of the frame rate. I has a red unicorn bear in it.

And SO3 was good, but I never played Radiata Stories.

Post by: TVC15 on August 27, 2008, 06:34:07 PM: SO3 was an abortion hitting the floor. The terrible cut scenes made the game playable. Sure, you could skip the terrible voice acting, but you had to watch the characters pantomime for 5 fucking seconds even though you canceled the talking.

Post by: cool breeze on August 27, 2008, 06:39:59 PM: I'm so saturated from in stuff that I barely even notice it anymore. I rarely, if ever, care about RPG storyline or anything like that; it is a mix of style and combat that draws me in, and Infinite Undiscovery looks to have both. This is why I enjoy Grandia and Tales games.

Actually, I think it was Crisis Core that pushed me over the edge with the lame in-game cut scenes. That set a new level of what isn't acceptable in a game.

Post by: Jansen on August 27, 2008, 06:44:33 PM: so3 fucking sucks and so does radiata.

i completed the first disc of so3 but simply could not force myself to play any further. i made it a few hours into radiata before i shelved it forever.

Post by: cool breeze on August 27, 2008, 10:53:21 PM: The IGN video review for IU makes it sound like this guy hates the game.

Other than the shitty frame rate, I still think it looks great. I am still surprised by how bad the frame rate is; it actually reminds me of Mass Effect.

Well according to a post from BlimBlim the asia version should be out in September (Sep 4th actually) but a rumor is going around that its not region free.

But keep your fingers crossed till official confirmation.

I called Gamestop before I picked up the game and they said the LE is only available online.

Post by: siamesedreamer on August 31, 2008, 10:28:11 PM: I believe Shane B recommended ToV. So, that's pretty much a two thumbs up approval for IU in my book.
