Pristine20 said: Why all the hate for Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn? I do agree that it does have some huge flaws that the difficulty is only at the first chapter of the game and the game has a very bad habit of providing overpowered characters instead of letting players train their own units like something that is called an "RPG" should. Nevertheless, I had good fun with it and still replay it to this day. I may be biased though due to a love for grid SRPGs. The game was also poorly received by critics so I'm not sure the term "overrated" really applies. OT, I cosign the following 1. Anything pokemon 2. Skyrim (leveling system looks good on paper but is bad in practice) 3. Borderlands 2 (1 is better, killing bosses over and over is terrible as the only way to acquire legendaries, BL1 was great because you could literally find them just about anywhere) 4. FFVII (no, a remake won't save S-E) 5. KH games 6. Ni no kuni (would've been a great game but the battle system is horrid and I just couldn't take it anymore after getting 3 characters) 7. Xenoblade. I've watched videos, I still don't get the hype.

You need to play the game in order to understand why it's so loved! Watching some Youtube videos is not enough, you know..

I'm not going to say XBC is for everybody, but watching videos really doesn't do it justice. You really have to play it and get a feel for the combat to appreciate it. I thought I would be bored out of my mind for the first hour, but once I got through a few tutorials and things started making sense, I was blown away! I can actually say that about a few of my other favorite RPGs: Baten Kaitos Origins (another Monolith title), Ogre Battle 64, Fire Emblem and Quest 64 come to mind.
