Riachu said: You guys are setting Valkyria Chronicles a little too low. Especially since previews are saying it is the best RPG that Sega released in a decade or something like that.
Valkyria Chronicles.....88%-90% Little Big Planet......90% Socom Confrontation....85% |
Have sega released any RPGs in a decade outside of really disapointing "Shining" spinoffs? SRPGS almost never review well.
|
Yeah they did and it was critically acclaimed. It was called Skies of Arcadia. Quite a few SRPGs are rated well. Final Fantasy Tactics(all of them), Fire Emblem(all of them), Jeanne d'Arc etc.
|
None of which cracked 90... and Fire Emblem was both good and had a solid brandname behind it I don't believe any SRPG has ranked a 90 or higher. It won't hit a 9... and it will likely be penalized for not being in a series... and for changing the SRPG formula for a number of SRPG freaks who aren't willing to change.
|
You realize that these SRPG freaks are vocal but they are still a minority and a very small one at that. I think that since the characters won't be moving on a grid and that you can aim the guns in Valkyria Chronicles, I think some people who generally avoid SRPGs might give this one a chance.

Said people aren't the reviewers however. The review duties will be given to the SRPG guy... a number of which i'm guessing won't like the new direction. (though i think it's great that someone else went with the future tactics style battle system.)
