The first Raidou Kuzunoha on PS2, it's an action-rpg, it had a good story with lots of cool moments but the gameplay was just bad, there was a delay to everything you do so defending was a nightmare, imagine a ball coming towards you and you see it coming but you can only catch it after 1.5 seconds that's what it was.

They totally fixed that in the sequel though, it's crazy how much better the battles were in Raidou 2.

I thought they were both great...maybe not the best best story-wise and gameplay objectives but is a fine attempt. There's worse Fire Emblem entries.

Me...I know i'm gonna get a lot of flack for this but for me it has to be Xenoblade Chronicles. The story as most would know is superb, but the gameplay just couldn't do it for me for reasons I won't go into. I had to end up looking up chugga's LP to see the story. This is MY opinion, not yours, so don't try to change my mind about XC. 

Odin Sphere.

I find the story to be rather lacking myself. Perhaps because the previous games I played were Radiance and Radiant Dawn, Awakening feels weaker, especially with Chrom as the main lord. Plus everything else with the game feels so great, that the story seems lacking. But that's just me.

The Witcher, though story isn't that good either.

Nier, if you can call it a RPG.

Do you realize Vanille is the very reason Dahj becomes a L'cie, right? It's not just because she was teleported there, but because Vanille's Fal'cie demanded that she picked someone, and she choosed Dahj.

I'm gonna go with Xenosaga.

Oh, right. I remember a cutscene of Vanille holding Dahj hand, so I got confused with it.

So, yeah, Vanille and Fang tried to attack Kujata and Kujata tried to defend itself. It's still Vanille - and by extention, Fang - fault that Dahj got branded in the first place.

Third game's battle system was good. My enjoyment was hindered by the fact that I had a faulty disc 1 though, so the battle music would outright stop during 90% of the battles.
