| naruball said: That was a great analysis. Thanks. I mean I still kind of disagree, but that's besides the point. I played Final Fantasy 4 about a year or 2 ago. It was my first FF game and had only heard great things about it. Though what you said makes sense, I didnt' enjoy the game all that much and found the combat much less fun. I got bored several times playing the game and I don't remember anything about the story. Guess not my cup of tea. I wasn't implying that you were wrong or anything, just how diffrent opinions on the same matter can be (similarly people calling Heavy Rain a revolutionary game and others not a game at all). In regard to the turn based-action based difference of depth, I'm sure that a turn based game can more deeper than the other, but not because it's turn based, but because of how spells, items and attacks work. I don't see how the nds version of Nino Kuni was any better. |
Well, watching a gameplay video of the Nintendo DS version, it looks like Oliver and more than one monster can be in combat at once. So I'm guessing Oliver and three monsters? Since there are no glims in the game and I've seen that Oliver can cast that one really powerful fire spell, there's probably just a difference in the games gameplay.
It's not like we can play the DS version without importing, so unless we decide on that we'll really never know how good it is. Though if we were to decide on importing, atleast we'd know the story, hopefully the star still tells you where to go, and it's easy to tell what kind of element a spell is by the color of the spell, and the amount of magic points it uses. So it's a game that would be playable even though we might like knowledge of Japanese.
If I ever get a flash card for my 3DS, I might atleast try it out. Or could always emulate it sometime to try it out. While it could be better, since I wasn't a fan of the PS3 version, there's no telling if the gameplay actually makes the DS version better, so I don't want to import and waste money on a game I might not like.
