Folklore?

 

I'm still debating Folklore.  It's not really an RPG.  It's more an action-adventure.  There is a sort of system of level-up, but it's only for the Folk, which are basically your weapons.  If you called Folklore an RPG you wouldn't be far from stuff like God of War, and you'd absolutely have to add Monster Hunter 3.  So I'm trying to avoid going there.  Steambot Chronicles 2 is being added now.

Changed my mind about Steambot Chronicles 2. Like Folklore, it's not enough of an RPG.



Naz what about adding Zoids? It wasn't that bad. Well I mean if you are going to put enchanted arms on the list.

Besides that minor point. I love what you did! TGS will be huge for this list.



 

I agree with Acevil. From what I played of Zoids, it was decent. No major flaws besides the fact that it should have been $20



Zoids is fine for like a bad downloadable game. Enchanted arms at least had a few people who liked it (ask Stickball). Zoids is just bad. Sorry but if I add Zoids I'll have to add the Wii games which all scored signifficantly higher than it, and I'm too lazy to do that.

No PS2 love? Persona 4 is going to be awesome.

BTW, I really enjoy Spectral Force 3. u_u

This is also true of Muramasa: The Demon Blade. At least, if it's like Odin Sphere (which it probably will be, though we have no details). You gain more health over time by eating food, but you don't gain experience from killing enemies.

Well, you get those purple crystal things from enemies which power up and level your weapon. But I sort of agree with you. If Muramasa is anything like Odin Sphere, it probably doesn't belong on the list if Folklore doesn't make the cut. Not sure about Steambot Chronicles because I have no idea what that game is about.

EDIT:  Btw, great job with the list.  I think you should have a quick list at the top listing each game without screenshots though, for those who want a quick way of checking titles, instead of having to scroll through a couple pages of screenshots.

Right, but you always had the same weapon for each character, so it was a part of your character.  You also had multiple ways to level up. For example, you could choose how you used your phozons to increase your characters abilities (level the sword, use for food for health, or use in special attacks).

In Folklore nothing is by choice.  You have no way to choose how your character grows past using certain Folk for longer than others, but it doesn't effect your actual character, just that Folk.  And even then the increases are nothing statistical.  Just added damage or extra combos.



That is fair naz thanx for considering. But ur pokemon level up in the Pokemon games and ur monsters leveled up in Jade Coccoon.
