Yeah, I've played Lost Odyssey, and while I did enjoy it, I just couldn't get into it enough to finish it. Maybe it's Shadow Hearts's prerendered backgrounds, or maybe I just find the characters much more interesting. I normally don't take to gothic-style horror, but it has me.
So I finally went and did it. I hacked my PS2 to run ISOs off a hard drive, and so I finally started playing an RPG that I remember seeing advertised back in the day but didn't have the money for: Shadow Hearts.
Imagine if you took Legend of Dragoon's battle system and grafted it into a...
Not concerns so much as complaints. I was convinced I wasn't going to be a release-day buyer from the moment I saw they were ditching the ATB battle system in favor of KH. I think Square-Enix has a serious problem of forgetting that Final Fantasy is a role-playing series, not Secret of Mana with...
Well argued and formatted. I wish you would cite/source some of the things you talk about, but this is an interesting angle I'd not heard.
Overall, I view Square-Enix as a Greek tragic hero who soared too high too soon. The film was boring and stupid, no two bones about it, but the consequent...
First thing I'd do is hit the pharmacy and the nearest gun store. I need my meds, and I need to be able to fend off wild animals, which will become more and more of a problem the longer the world goes without other humans.
Second thing I'd do is go to military surplus and load up a backpack...
So over the past year or so, I've been slowly coming back to Pokémon after leaving it following Gen. 1. I got Gold on 3DS virtual console in November, I followed up with Alpha Sapphire in December, and HeartGold in July. Meanwhile, I chatted at length with my brother-in-law, who has been a...
I generally agree with the order of this video:
However, I would qualify its key points by saying:
If you like Western dungeon-crawler RPGs, start with 1 and 3, then backtrack to 2 (most people don't like it; but I do and think it's worth a try)
If you like high customizability, do 7, 8, 10...
If you limit me to true Final Fantasy games, I have to agree with Vivi. But if you-all will allow me to dip into games which have carried the name "Final Fantasy"....
Yes, yes. I know that SaGa is considered unfinished hot garbage by many, but I find that, like coffee, it tastes better once the...
Well, I think all your questions heretofore presuppose a kind of objectivism that's simply not in my system of thinking about it. There is no one line. There is my line. There is your line. There is another fan's line. Some Star Wars fans fuss about "Episode IV: A New Hope" being added to the...
I never really paid attention to it back in the day. I was an avid PS2 fanboy, and that's where the core Final Fantasy experience was found back then. Crystal Chronicles came at this weird time when Square had lost all that money on the movie, so the leadership shifted from the creatives being...
What additional content does this version have over the original Wii release? Is it really worth the price if you've already got it for Wii? I mean, I kind of want it just because the game card format is more future-proof, but I don't know if I want it at $40. (Which is probably where it will...
I just wish they'd give Christy Carlson Romano over to a role that reflects her hotness in real life. Like, maybe Ifalna or Lucrecia. But not Yuffie, a.k.a. THE most annoying playable character.
I have to say, I like the designs I've been seeing more than the last few gens, even if I ultimately think that the series isn't aging into 3D well enough for me to seriously want Sword and Shield.
What I really want is a Pokémon sRPG, where you have to choose where to deploy six Pokémon at...
A lot of us feel that was where George went astray. I never minded the commercialism per se, but it became evident with the Prequels that Georgie was more interested in using the story as a big advertisement for the toys.
Most of it is the Star Wars equivalent of FOX News and CNN, yes, but don't...
I'm going to wait until a couple years after the release and only get it then if it goes on sale and the reviews are favorable. I believed too much of Square for XIII and got burned. (Fool me once, shame on you.) I believed too much of Square for XV and was mostly disappointed. (Fool me twice...
