    I've finally gotten to the point where the demons are becoming more interesting

    instead of little pixies and floaty paper thingies, I've got Baphomet and the Japanese god of war

    how cool is that

    Okay, so no one mentioned Robotrek. I feel like such a nerd even knowing about that gem for the SNES. :D


    And the secret about Chrono Trigger?

    Mara's not in Nocturne. Not in Chariot format, anyway. He's infamous for SMTII, and he's also in the Raidou games and Persona 3 and 4.

    Here he is in SMTII.

    NSFW, technically.

    My secret shame:

    I own FFVIII, FFXII, Chrono Cross, Kingdom Hearts, and Dragon Quest VIII and have never finished any of them.

    Man, there's nothing shameful about never finishing FFVIII. That's the first Final Fantasy game I got through the tutorial mission (cave with Ifrit, if I recall) and immediately put down. It was just such a turn-off to me in every way, from the combat to the drawing magic to the characters to the confusion to the blehhhhh. It's like the game wanted me to not feel bad for not sinking 100 hours into it.

    I had to return Phantasy Star Universe yesterday because it wouldn't work. I got a second copy of Dragon Quest 8 instead. Please tell me I'm not missing out on anything.

    If you have a PSP go buy Phantasy Star Portable 2. Congrats, you now have a better version of Universe and it has PSO bonus stuff in it. And it's online mode is still supported. PSU is okay. But really only gets good if you have the expansion. The PC and PS2 servers died this year. Don't know how long the 360 are going to live now that PSO2 is on the way.

    You'll enjoy DQ8 more.

    So they've got those PS1 classics up on the Playstation store. Should I get Final Fantasy Tactics or Final Fantasy 9 first?

    Tactics is great, the PSP version is even better if you have one of those.

    Nope, just the PS3. My brother tells me I want the original anyway for the hilarious mistranslations, which we're both fans of.

    Phantasy Star Universe is worse than tuberculosis

    The storyline and characterization makes "Everybody Poops" look like Richard III

    The constant grind and linear gameplay makes Final Fantasy XIII look like an Elder Scrolls game

    Just

    Don't play it

    Ever

    They really need to release the War of the Lions version of FFT on other systems

    It is so good

    The sometimes funny terribad translation of the original is not worth missing out on all the awesome

    After reading through all the posts, I'm bringing this thread back up from the depths to say a few things.

    1) Xenogears was a pretty good game. Whoever thought up the concept of making the second disc as it was though needs a few crowbar shots to the knees.

    2) .hack wasn't perfect but I still liked the games and story. It's a pain though that the latest game is on the PSP and not even ported yet. If they had to bring it to a new system, I would have preferred it being on the PS3 rather then the PSP. It would have given them a more roomy disc to work with. Especially with the plot revolving around .hack's version of time-travel.

    I'm not sure why they used this animation style for the new game's opening by the way

    3) I've been playing the PS2 Wizardry game again, trying to get past the Labyrinth's halfway point which is where I paused playing the game at last time. It's a shame it doesn't get more attention. It's inventory system's not one of my faves from a game however. Especially combined with the spell-leveling system.

    4) Does anyone know which JRPG I should try first on the 360? I've heard good things about Resonance Of Fate, Lost Odyssey, Infinite Undiscovery and Tales of Vesperia but I'm not sure which to pick first.

  • cj iwakuracj iwakura The Rhythm Rogue Coral Springs, FLRegistered User regular
    Tales of Vesperia is supposedly the best, though I like what I've played of RoF more than what I've played of ToV.


    Also, Tale of the Forsaken Land has a great OST.

    do NOT play infinite undiscovery, at all, under any circumstances

    the others are all pretty good

    go for LO if you've got a hankering for total old-school JRPG goodness with better-than-average writing (and completely ridiculous outfits)

    vesperia if you'd like a little more Anime in your gaming

    and RoF if you want something completely different

    Infinite Undiscovery is alright. I never finished it but is has some decent combat. The main character is a bitch though.
