I thought this franchise was always full of shame and that's why Prole plays it?
When heroines in upcoming PS3 role-playing-game Ar Tonelico III activate in-game songs, their costumes show more and more flesh. This, explains producer Atsunori Kawachi, is for a very important reason.
By showing more skin, they are able to absorb more of the planet's energy," said the producer at a recent press event.
Continuing, he added, "The world can only be saved because the heroines took off their clothes!"

I know you're being sarcastic, but the first game doesn't have any playable character under the age of 14 and the second game only has one.
lol, great rumbler played these games. god damn. there isnt a laughing girl pic big enough.
doesn't look like a 14 year old!
Quotedoesn't look like a 14 year old!
There's the catch. :lol
I looked up the first game on Wikipedia. One of the female characters is like 738 years old. Without even looking at a single picture of this character, I'm going to guess she's total loli-kawaiiiii desu. ^__^. Am I right?
Though, she looks cold at first, Shurelia is actually shy and quite clumsy (sometimes she trips and lands with her face while chanting spells). She has no sense of direction and often gets lost, even in her own tower. She has a great fondness for bunnies and their related stuff (from dolls to bunny-shaped food to the point of bombs and restoring items).
Just elongate the body and add some titties at least. That artwork makes the character look like she's 11 years old.
Maybe one day otaku will grow out of the moe-loli phase. I'm all animu, but damn do I detest that shit.

I shed a single tear when I saw the redesigned characters for Star Ocean 2 on the PSP. Looking at that difference basically tells you all you need to know about the way RPGs have gone since even the late 90's.
It will, hopefully, go away eventually, as did trends that were over-used during the 80's and 90's.

The 80s and 90s stuff was so much better. :'(

It was certainly manlier at least.
There are tons of great rpgs that don't feature prole panty bait- they're all ICKY GROSS WESTERN RPGS THAT DON'T RAPE YOU WITH HEAVY HANDED "STORY TELLING" tho.

Yes, give me games like Mass Effect and Dragon Age, where I can choose to have sex with fully-grown females (or males, hyuck hyuck) instead of telling lolis to remove their clothes and watching magikaru dansu henshin for za piyaa uworudo!

You say that like it's not better or something. Sure sex in games is awkward and dumb (kind of like sex in high school) but if we're going to be sexualizing game characters I'd prefer they look like they're legal. AND you're ignoring great games like Fallout 3 where there's no sexual interactions with the main character.
Western rgps >>>> jrpgs this gen, fo sho. I know you don't particularly care for either, but it's true!
The original version of SO2 had horrible character designs, though. I don't remember the PSP versions, but they can't possibly have been much worse.
It goes that way because Great Rumbler keeps buying it
I don't usually care for the settings or the combat engines in most of the WRPGs I played.

Well yes, you're a weeaboo. We know!

The problem isn't that WRPGs are better, the problem is that JRPGs get progressively worse.
Demon's Souls is a fantastic JRPG, but it doesn't fit the mold.
The problem isn't that WRPGs are better, the problem is that JRPGs get progressively worse. WRPGs are the same, boring, sci-fi (or some medieval bullshit with orcs) shit that we all derided before. Japanese developers don't give a fuck anymore; they're all porting their SNES and PS One shit to the DS. That or designing games that would only be acceptable on the DS since the bar is low enough.

Yeah but I think that most game genres have gotten progressively worse this gen...

I'd say that the sandbox action genre this generation is the best it's ever been.

there's a video always playing the goddamn song plus showing you how you can do the proper dance for it.

Exactly.
two worlds > persona
Yeah, I like animu much more than orcs and elves and hobbits and shit, or Star Wars.
Demon's Souls is a fantastic JRPG, but it doesn't fit the mold.
It's more of an action-RPG anyway, right? I'd like to try it sometime

I'm pretty sure tiesto played and enjoyed (to an extent) Fallout 3.
Yeah, I like animu much more than orcs and elves and hobbits and shit, or Star Wars.
You should play Fallout 3 then. Or Vampire the Masquerade. Or Jade Empire.

I've played and beaten Fallout 3 and Jade Empire already - loved Fallout, hated Jade Empire. Vampire the Masquerade sounded interesting (as did the Arcanum game from the same company), but I heard both games were an absolute mess of bugs.

Vampired the Masquerade is mostly fixed thanks to fan patches. I played through it over a year ago and worked just fine.
Stop playing animu RPGs, man. Life's too short.

Says a dude with an animu avatar...
Wait are we hating on weeaboos now?
Then you gotta hate me cause I love me some jRPGs like Baten Kaitos, FFX-2, Tales of series!
Bring it on, BioWare biatches :punch :gun :punch

We're willing to except Baten Kaitos because it's awesome, FFX-2 we'll except because it comes across as a parody of animu RPGs, and Vepseria is the best JRPG this generation so we'll except that too.
wtf, abyss was superior to symphonia in every important aspect. (gameplay, story, less cringe inducing weeabootastic characters)
the only area that symphonia beats abyss in is load times, that's it.
I think we should except Valkyria too since it's at least as good as Vesperia.

Sounds to me like we're "accepting" more jrpgs than wrpgs :teehee
Vampire: Bloodlines is good, but the combat is some of the worst I've ever experienced in an rpg. Ever.

i stand by my remark

Valkyria (and Demon's Souls) is vastly different from your typical animu JRPG, so it's in a weird place in this battle between the Red Blooded Murrican RPGers and The Weeaboo ex-pats. It looks all weeabooie, but doesn't really play like one.
But Blue Dragon is awesome. And it has the best boss music ever.
it seems to me that there are more "different" JRPGs than "standard" ones recently (where by "recently" I mean "the last 9 years") I don't really get where the complaints of stagnation or whatever are coming from, at least in terms of game mechanics. but whatever.
