I'm finally caving in and buying a 360. I'm a huge JRPG fan and have been more than happy with what I've been getting on my DS and PSP. However, I miss the expansive, grande-sized worlds I experienced on the PS2 and other consoles previous. I want some console RPG's. Disgaea 3 was awesome as I'm sure Valkyria Chronicles will be, and I can't say enough about White Knight Chronicles, but I simply want more! TGS really wasn't that comforting for me as either a PS3 owner nor a prospective 360 owner, so I've decided to combine the two.
So anyway, here are some things I'd like to know:
- I don't intend on paying for Live... at all, ever. Can I play games online without this service? (not a big deal either way) Can I purchase games like Braid or Castle Crashers without it?
- You can't play games on Life without Gold. That's what Gold does. However, you can buy 100% of content, and use it via the marketplace, without Gold. So you can buy CC, Braid or whatever.
- Is a 20gb drive sufficient? I wouldn't mind taking advantage of uploading a game to the hard drive and have no issues only having 1 or 2 games on there at a time. But because my preference is for JRPGs, does anyone know if you can upload one disc at a time as opposed to having to upload all the discs belonging to a single game?
- It should be enough room. However, I doubt your going to get to install a whole big JRPG such as Lost Odyssey or Blue Dragon onto a 20HDD all the way. But you could do 2 at a time.
- I have already bought Blue Dragon (only 14.99! I plan on playing this first) and plan on getting Lost Odyssey, is Infinite Undiscovery truly as uninspired as many say it is. I thought the first few videos seemed to fit that description and haven't payed much attention afterwards. If anyone thought otherwise, I'd like to hear about it!
- Can't speak much about IU, but most VGC-ers thought it was good, but not great. I am sure if you want an ARPG, it'd be a good compliment for most ARPG fans.
- For Tales fans: I hated Radiant Mythology for PSP, I thought Eternia was pretty good and I thought Symphonia was ok. How does Vesperia stack up against those. I'm really only interested in hearing how it compares to those listed.
- Can't say as I haven't played RM or Eternia, but every forum I frequent by Tales diehards put Vesperia into the solid #1 spot for best Tales game made. Ever. It's my favorite tales of the few I've played (Phantasia, Legendia)
- Can I purchase MS points via Credit Card online?
- Yes.
That's all I can think of at the moment. Thanks in advance for any responses!
