Expected, the videos really made me see that just because the game is published by Squeenix, it isn't going to be SE quality. "Innuendo Dive" lol. Reckon it'll still be good though, like Lost Odyssey was much better than I expected (because the reviews were 7/8's).

im a little pissed in Tales and this... i was expecting my 360 to be the RPG console but i guess in sticking with me new DS.

Next RPG game ima get for 360 is star ocean if its not announced for my ps3. ill skip tales and this. (till they are 20 bucks)

Tales of Vesperia, or this? I guess the choice is simple. I won't have enough money to buy them all (360 RPGs) this year... I'll definitely rent it though.

Tales of Vesperia is awesome, how can you say that they suck so far? Lost Odyssey is awesome as well.

I meant RPGS this summer/ fall. Tales games arent really my style and i had hoped this one was better but nuthin had changed and too human sucks. Now this one sucks. Lost odyssey was a long time ago and i have that one. But thats not what i was talking about. i meant newly released RPGS.

Tales is getting quite good reviews.

Lost Odyssey got decent reviews for the most part as well.

Kind of a blanket statement just to say they "all suck" doncha think??????

This is only one site (well one of the biggest) but it's about what I expected of the game from what I saw.

Note they said ~35 hours with all the side quests.  So thats about 10-15 extra from the main story.  I'll take a wait and see, too many good games coming out to be paying full price for the "decent" ones.

JRPG's are as a whole on a downhill slide. On the other hand, WRPGs are on the rise and are continuously improving and innovating.

Tales of Vesperia, Eternal Sonata, Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon were average 7 to 7.5 rating games.

Infinite Undiscovery follows in the footsteps of the other X360 JRPGs with another average review score.

Anything below an 80% average review score these days is considered mediocre.

Good thing that Tales is at 81% then...

Only JRPG game people are talking about on the forums I visit is FF XIII.

So the wait continues for FF XIII arrival to the world.

Let's all hope FF XIII delivers and is AAA quality = 90% + review scores.

Their main complaint seems to be:

too many characters and not being fleshed out

20~30 hour game.

too much micromanagement

not being able to pause the game during boss fights to access items.

lack of CG cut scenes and passable graphics

anyway this is still on pre-order as ToV wont be appearing till next year for me.
