Me? Last jrpg I played was FF X-2 on ps2. After that crap, I decided never to touch a jrpg again. Last platformer I played was New Super Mario bros which I got for this christmas and super mario galaxy. I did not see any difference on those games compared to old platformers or mario 64. |
Ok, I will stop you right there man, FF X-2 is by far the worst final fantasy period, it was considered a spinoff of final fantasy X which was actually pretty good, but FF X-2 was just horrible. If you still have your ps2 I highly suggest getting valkyrie profile 1 (ps1 game) and valkyrie profile 2: Silmeria (ps2 game). First off the battle system is action packed (starts off with medium action but after a couple of hours you're doing full fledged combos). The premise of valkyrie profile is that you are one of the 3 valkyries that govern death. Once a mortal dies valiantly in battle, you can choose them to join your army in Asgard for the upcoming war: Ragnarok. You get to see the staples of Norse mythology Thor, Loki, Freya, Odin, etc. You also get to see MANY different stories of each character (close to 30 characters i believe), as well as the moments leading to their death, in which case you take their souls into yourself and prepare them for Ragnarok. There are several branching storylines and 3 different endings. The fighting system has a full fledged combo system. You should really check these 2 games out. Oh and Valkyrie Profile 2 improves upon the fighting system and the story only continues to get interesting (some of the best voice acting also by Liam O'Brien who plays Lezard Valeth in VP2).
