I'd argue there hasn't been a really great JRPG this entire gen. What happened! *sob*

Crisis Core? Though, some people will not classify it as traditional turn based jrpg.

I have only finished the first disc, but I strongly agree with Patel so far. The game is way too emo even for my taste. I just sold the game off to a friend.
god forbid people cry for their loved ones.

seriously, if this is emo then you need serious help.

:rofl

Why are you so pissed off, brother? You're acting like your dad made the game. The game wasn't my cup of tea, that's all I am saying. :) The game had some very good qualities (graphics, music, battle system), but it just wasn't my type of RPG. I did not like the story nor the characters - which are the most important traits for me in an RPG. Not saying they were shit, just that they didn't appeal to me.

it's true that when they released FFVII in Europe, fans took the game back to the store and angrily demanded: what is this shit? This is not a game, they said.

Did that make you mad?  I remember back in the #square DALnet days, you were one of the biggest Square fanboys in the land.

I wonder if that channel still exists, come to think of it.

I remember bitching about FFVII the very day I started playing it when I realized the translation was riddled with typos, grammatical mistakes, weird usage of English, and disappearing accents (like Cait Sith sounding like a hillbilly half of the time, and the other half speaking in neutral English).

I was so ahead of the curve of FFVII hate. :bow

I'm pretty sure one of the reasons for the protests may have been that FFVII got an English-only release throughout Europe.

-The stealth section is like 5 minutes long and there are not one but TWO shortcuts you can open so you don't have to redo it.
-Matter of opinion I guess, I think it's competent but I don't play a ton of RPGs. People I've played it with think it's good and so do I.
-Jansen rules, I have no idea why half his lines are muffled.
-Haven't seen much problem with character motivation outside of maybe Ming
-Discs 2 and 3 are better with dungeons, I could see disc 1 being mind numbing if you don't like the plot/characters


MAF - I haven't leveled up at all, and I haven't had to retry a boss since the second one. I do try to get all the items though. You need to use (and have) the right spells and mind your rings! I'm pretty impressed with the leveling system, all the bosses seem perfectly balanced to still be challenging. I don't even remember the details of the garden battle, non issue for me.

Willco, use Shadow on the enemies in the mansion, or Force. Physical attacks with Shadow did me just fine though. Shadow is almost broken in its awesomeoness.

I have a lot of people who will agree with me too. The game comes down to luck. Rings wont save you from Rush spammed twice on the same character two rounds in a row, shield wont save you from that either. The fact that you don't even remember the flower battle does little to back up your point of view.

I will agree that Jansen is fine, he's like a horny james woods

If it was hard it would stand out in my memory. It was a total non-issue, unmemorable.

Can you switch off the dumb fucking 'gunblade'esque twitch elements? I don't want that shit in my jrpgs.

Just don't equip rings.

this gen is different himu.

the rpg company known as Square Enix have yet to make a next gen rpg, instead they are porting and remaking shit for handhelds.

which means other developers will be sleeping till S-E make one and lead the way.

thankfully MS need rpgs so they are financing some good ones for us, poor xfags.

I am not sure if I follow. A lot of what I've seen in this thread were valid complaints. It's not like posters are trolling and shitting up the main thread (at least not from what I've seen). It's always like this with the big-name releases. There are obviously people that will not enjoy the game, and having them contribute and voice their opinions is not always a bad thing.

In Japan "this" gen hasn't even started yet.  X360 is DOA, PS3 is too expensive to catch on with the masses and Wii is a toy.

And the bad voice acting? I wouldn't know...BECAUSE I'M PLAYING IT WITH THE ORIGINAL JAP VO THE WAY GOD INTENDED!

The lip synch is done to the English audio. The Japanese audio is better, but still amateurish, and the janky lipflap was way more distracting than the bad English voice acting.
i don't know if either of you speak japanese, but i do, and the japanese voice acting is ass compared to english.  besides, the voices were originally in english and the lips follow.

does anyone here speak/read farci, arabic, or russian?  i think those languages are written on the walls in some of the towns.

We both do, and I mentioned that to Bebpo yesterday--LO's Japanese audio is surprisingly amateurish. The English is at least competent, the Japanese is some Growlanser-level shit.
