There was an interview where Itoi, Miyamoto, and Iwata confirmed that the game was pretty much fully playable before it was cancelled.

I am a HUGE Tales and Gust fan. Been playing some Ar Tonelico for the first time lately. This game is very nice. I like the 2d PS2 games they made best. They have such nice and cute graphics. The 3d ones I don't enjoy as much.

I am looking forward to getting Tales of Xillia 2 and maybe Hearts R for Vita if the rumors are true.

My all time favorites are Mana Khemia 2, Xenogears, and Baten Kaitos Origins.

It's a clashing of the old and the new. SE has had trouble satisfying both camps until arguably the new FFXIV came out last year. Not sure if XV can keep the ball rolling.

I do miss the old Squaresoft days. Definitely a lot more experimentation going on (Live a Live being one of them. A short yet really good JRPG.) and not just being stuck in the "comfort zone" like where they're at right now. I blame the FF movie.

I hate how faith made you take more magic damage and bravery made you take more physical damage (I think), yet you wanted mages to have high faith and warriors to have high bravery.

The worst though is Chrono Cross's elemental system.

As much as I love FFT, the game was a mess both localization and coding wise. Take Agrias's Holy Sword Skills. Despite the game's description telling her Lightning Stab and Holy Explosion deal elemental damage, they actually don't.

I have a bunch of things I want, in my perfect jrpg:
-Overworld skills (obviously).
-Combination skills with other party members.
-Fun dialog events between party members (like Tales games).
-Interactions with party members having special effects (like Tidus's final Overdrive in FFX).

Just stuff like that. I really like it when the adventuring party becomes close-knit, which was probably my biggest issue with FFXII. The party felt like it never really went beyond the initial cliques it had (Fran/Balthier, Fran/Penello, Ashe/Basch). It just felt like there was no real group chemistry.

You would've disliked the 1st FF and probably 5 because just like XII, it focused more on the general plot than the characters which they were trying to go for. If it was treated as a side-story and not mainline FF, it would've fared better. But yeah, Vaan really pushed the third person MC up to 11. Revenant Wings came to fix that problem. Vaan and Penelo have more relevance in it.

Well, in terms of initial playthrough without going out of your way to level up, beat hidden bosses (that super mammoth in the prehistoric chapter can get fucked with a rake.) and find treasure it shouldn't take more than 25 hours which is on the short side of RPG's. Granted, like any old JRPG, if you don't have a guide you can get lost on where to go or what to get like the ninja and the near Future chapters.

I made a list of jrpgs I wanted to play but now that I cleared it I don't know what to play next. I don't have any consoles and my computer can only emulate up to ps1. I also have a psp.

I played pretty much all of the final fantasy games, all of the ogre battle games, chrono trigger, earthbound, super mario rpg, valkyrie profile, vagrant story, saga frontier 2, xenogears, suikoden 1-2, wild arms 2, dragon quest 9, srw endless frontier, the first front mission, and some fire emblem game that I didn't like too much.

what am I still missing?

I forgot to mention I played the 2 psp ones and persona 3.

>>12041623
it says skies of arcadia came out for the dreamcast and the gamecube. is dreamcast emulation still shitty or does it work now? I tried to emulate paper mario for gamecube and I got through it but there was a lot of slowdown because my computer is old.

I just remembered I was also interested in seiken densetsu 3. apparently it was never released in english but it has a fan translation, have any eops here played it?

I also want to try an etrian odyssey but I don't know which one to start with. I think 2 was the only one with this cute girl so should I play that one?

Radiant Historia was surprisingly unique, but kind of boring. All the characters were level-headed adults (even though they were mostly all teens) so there were was almost no conflict between the good guys. Really refreshing love interest too.

I think they were just saying 'maybe'? I would really like another Wild Arms. 5 was a good way to end it by being an anniversary series with tons of cameos and fanservice.

I would not mindan actual 6th. But only if they change up the combat and do something new and different from standard and hexes.

I bought and still own Radian Historia but I only got like an hour into it because I was so busy with Tactics Ogre which had just come out for the PSP at the same time and 999.

Radiant Historia was the game with the time travel gimmick or something, right?

Yeah, that's what kept me away from the series after 3. It just lost the charm it had by 4 which is arguably the lowest trough of the series.

Speaking of terrible 4's, Suikoden 4 fit the bill. My god, what were they thinking when they made this? It was so bad not even the decent 5 managed to rescue the franchise.

I haven't really messed around with emulators in years. If they PS2 and GC games to emulate decently I would assume by now there is a decent Dreamcast emulator floating around?

The PS1 ports of IV, V and VI are legendary bad (coming from firsthand experience) and it takes like 10 seconds to load each battle.

Original SNES port of IV is terrible because Japan dumbed the difficulty down for it's western release. The NTSC port of VI was heavily censored due to a scene of implied rape and sprites with boobs.

The GBA ports had really bad music quality but better graphics.

IV - Play SFC version or the PSP remake
VI - SNES original is still the best
V - Not much options here, we didn't get it until it was ported to the PS1. GBA version is your best bet if you don't mind the load times in the PS1 version.

The SNES version of VI is still the best in my opinion. The NTSC version of IV (3 in America) had a really dumbed down difficulty because they thought it would be too complicated for a western audience and isn't really all that fun.

For IV I recommend biting the bullet and playing the PS1 version even though it has some really bad load times and the same pretty much goes for V. The GBA ports had better graphics, additional content and inferior audio quality.

They're all good, but each one added some things that will make it quite annoying to go back. The best method is either start with EO1 or EO2 and play the remake of EO1 (and for the love of god, turn the voice acting off and don't play the story mode).

Seiken Densetsu 3, I thought that was a cult classic around these parts. Definitely play it. There are 3 pairs of characters who's plots go together, but they don't force you to pick the two that go together. So look who goes with who before playing, so you don't miss out on a lot of dialogue.

One of the bosses was Maria and her gear Seibzhen. The Abel's Ark dungeon had an area at the end that was basically the final room of the last dungeon in Gears, you even fought dudes that were based of Andvari, Fenrir, Stier and Renmazuo in each of the sphere rooms. Omega Metamastipsychosis or whatever was practically based of the last boss in Gears (pic related). And you battled Weltall when you traveled back in time as well as Id Weltall being an optional boss.

Parry saves your protector's life. Also great, but you'll probably want to spend most of your points elsewhere at the beginning, but having at least one point increases your survivability more than you think.

And I'm going to warn you now. They will offer you beasts. It's a trap. I wouldn't normally spoil it like that, but it's a very nasty trap you won't realize until it's too late.

I'm having a hard time deciding how to spend my points because I don't know exactly how the skills work. will 5 points in antiall be more effective than 5 points each in the specific element skills? parry, provoke, and allguard seem like they would all do the same thing, but i'm sure they don't really.

I want to be excited for Tales games, but it seems like every one I've played has really shitty characters and a dumb story. Destiny, Eternia, Symphonia, Abyss, Legendia, I gave up after that. They also have this really generic anime style going on in every game.

Kind of a shame, since the games usually have fun battle systems.

Parry prevents all physical damage on one attack randomly. If there are moves that do multiple hits, it has a chance to block each individual one, not the whole thing.

Provoke just increases the chance that any indivdual attack will be aimed at your protector. If say an enemy has a 80% chance to target the front row, and you have 2 people on the front row, it's a 40% chance to hit either one, and a 7.3% chance to hit any person in the back. With provoke, it's more like a 70% chance to hit the protector, which leaves a 20% chance to hit the other person in the front, and a 3.3% chance to hit any person in the back.

Allguard is the same trap. Protectors can take a lot of abuse. They cannot take every single attack for every party memeber, or they will die very, very quickly. There might be a couple cases where it'll be useful, but front or back guard are useful in tons of situations, give better defensive bonuses, and only need 2 seconds of thought to pick which one you'll need at any given moment.

And on Anti-all, I believe the higher levels of the individual elemental shields start absorbing damage instead of blocking it. And there aren't any situations where an enemy will use more than one element, and you can't deal with one or the other in an alternative way. Just stick to one, and if you're really out of sorts, rest and switch to the other.

The games are fun but the stories are 12 year old fanfiction levels of stupid. It's cool to explore the iconic Disney worlds through an interactive video game though.

I honestly like Kingdom Hearts because I just ignore or laugh at the stupid characters and enjoy the actual game.

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 19 17:47:31 2014 No.12051719 >>12051690 Pretty cool, actually. The one on the 3DS was okay, never bothered with the ones on the PSP because they were less Disney-focused if I'm not mistaken.

>Katt:"Are you upset that I had to partner up with Tiga and leave the party for a while?"

>Hell yes I'm upset, you're not supposed to ever leave my party. Wait, why are you happy? Your affection meter thingy is glowing all these different colors. Girls are weird.

I'm quoting my life experience. Also, I like to imagine that after the ending, she stays with Ryu. Nina searches for a way to restore her sister, Rand goes back to his farm, Spar to his forest, Jean and Sten to their castles and as for Bow, I forget. I don't see Katt returning to Cottland though, she was unhappy and she didn't like it there.

You should try it. Birth By Sleep is really good, and if anything it is more Disney focused and less Final Fantasy focused: the only FF character in the game is Zach Fair, who appears in an almost comically Disneyfied manner.

BBS changed the battle system of the first two games and in my opinion improved it greatly. If there's a real flaw in the game, in my opinion it's that it gets repetitive going through the same worlds with three different characters. Although there are some alterations in the experience of those worlds, there is still a lot of overlap.

Multiplayer is also fun if you have a PS3 and the patience to deal with ad hoc party.
