But the best JRPG of all time? FF7


Truth!

 

Anyways, in Ni No Kuni defense, the game is like Dragon Quest, Pokemon, and Tales joined together in holy matrimony.

 

I'm having the "time of my death" playing platoon in the casino lol.

FF6 is better than FF7


no its not. snap out of it.

xenoblade got good reviews, but because it's a wii exclusive, I'll probably never play it.


why?   the system costs just a little bit more than buying a brand new game, and there are plenty of good games on the system.  Never understood why people limit themselves to one system...

As this thread has pointed out, there are exclusive games just in the JRPG category on each system that are worth playing, let alone other categories...

Well in anyones defense.  Xenoblade probably costs more to acquire than the Wii console does.


Xenoblade is definetly worth the money. I bought a Wii 3 Months ago to play all the good titles I missed and Xenoblade is the Title that made it a good purchase it really suffers being on Wii though this game would be absolutely mindblowing on HD Consoles or PC those Vistas in HD and higher res textures and high poly objects would be stunning.

The Wii was 80  the game 30 new with 5 for a PS2 Controller adapter this game alone is enough to warrant the price for a Wii. Its about 25 more than Ni no Kuni Wizard Edition , Wii included, well worth the Price. 115 well spent imo.

I have enough backlogs of games to play on my PS3, Xbox360 and a gaming PC.  I don't doubt that there are plenty of games (such as Zelda wii) on the Wii that I would play, but I don't have the time.  I would essentially get a Wii to play Xenoblade, and for me, it's not worth the money.


play xenoblade on dolphin! aside from the crappy character models it looks better than a lot of PS3 games.

Xenoblade has some of the coolest art design ever in my opinion. My eyes might have burst from visual awesomeness if it had been on a more capable HD system.

Ni No Kuni is definitely is one of my top RPG's of this gen,(perhaps all time) but as an owner of both Xenoblade and Ni No Kuni I will say Xenoblade isn't leaps and bounds over Ni No Kuni as some users have said(or atleast I'm assuming) and have played/own Ni No Kuni...

The only thing that pisses me off in Xenoblade the the occasional over-powered monster that comes from left field an annihilates your party!(and I'm not weak I'm literally mean a monster like level 70+ monster appears and wipes me out)the only thing that pisses me off about Ni No Kuni is the fact that Oliver doesn't learn any magic outside the main quest; except for Horace's riddles.(another thing is that damn blackjack hostess at the casino!!! I've never seen someone get so many 19/20/21 in a row in my life!!!)

the only edge I'd give to Xenoblade is its cast and i'd give the battle system to Ni No Kuni.

as for Ni No Kuni being the best RPG's in 2 decades? many would disagree(including me) I would put
Golden Sun 1&2
Final Fantsay IV
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XII
Chrono Trigger
Parasite Eve
Xenogears
Legend of Dragoon
Persona 3 FES
Persona 4 Golden
Tales of Symphonia
Tales of the Abyss
Xenosaga 1-3(yeah I went there)
Shadow Hearts: Covenant
Grandia II/III
Radiant Historia
Crimson Gem Saga
Suikoden 1/3/4/5(I haven't played 2 :( )

Xenoblade is rated higher.

Ni no has higher user rating.


Lol.. User ratings don't mean anything. They are filled with people who haven't any played the game.



Drakey on 12 February 2013

Persona 4
Final Fantasy 9 & 10

This has devolved into a mess of a thread.

Panzer Dragoon is the best JRPG to me so until I sample Ni No Kuni myself it remains the king. I don't doubt it's good, but does it have laser breathing dragons in epic battle with giant airship battles
