The only ones I'm unsure about playing is Soul Blazer. I forgot Wild Arms too, but that's when I actually can get money and have time for those games too X_X Same with Lufia and 7th Saga (what is 7th Saga?). The rest I wanna play.

Unsure? I said it wasn't a request. Soul Blazer series is excellent and Terranigma is the height of it all. You will not miss out on these games.

It's an obscure JRPG on the SNES.  Be warned though that there isn't much of a story or character development.

You better watch it Vegh. No one plays 7th Saga for story or character development.

I know that.  I just wanted Soriku to make sure that he knows that if he does play the game.

 

No, you don't know that. You've probably never played it.

All Soriku needs to know is that I told him to play the game. And that it will kick his ass. I don't think he's ready for its difficulty, most of the RPGs he's played are easy, the only exception would be the hard modes of Tales and Star Ocean. I would say that 7th Saga battles are the equivalent of Cave of Trial battles in SO2 by difficulty, but he's a pansy and never did the CoT.

Looks like a nice, solid RPG! I want it!

Weird thread. ARF is looking better but I had decided I'd be getting it a while ago. I like JRPGs and there are too few for the Wii right now to miss supporting this one.

Tales stories are mediocre, not awful. They're full of cliches and they won't be winning any awards in my book but they're fairly entertaining once you lower your expectations a bit.

Code Geass is a good anime with a solid plot and very nice animation. I don't like Ledouche though. He makes too many mistakes to be as cocky as he is IMO.

Thank you! We needed these words of wisdom. Tales game are far too overrated on this forum.

I like Tales games, but they are still a B-rate series.

B? not at all.

Yes, the story isn't FF "-" (insert any FF beside IX/VIII/XII), but they are an absolutely great JRPG series. "A" Grade.

/IMO

It's just that even the best Tales games have a noticable lack of polish that FF, DQ, and SMT games have.

What are you talking about?  Other than TotA(no I didn't play the game), I don't there was a Tales game that had technical issues.

A lack of polish isn't just technical issues (which Tales of Vesperia has aplenty), but other things in the game.

To expound on Vesperia's issues, it's mostly framerates drop. Whenever I'm fighting a group of enemies and Rita casts Meteor Storm, and I use some fancy artes. The frame rates drop well below 20. It takes a lot for me notice issues as I'm pretty tolerant of those things.

I'm still confused on what being polished means exactly.  I know technical issues is a sign of a lack of polish but you say that there are other things in a game than indicates polish(or lack therefore of).  I hope I'm not bothering you by asking this but what are the other things that indicate polish?

The whole overarching story and a sustained quality in all parts of the game. Some of the sidequests in Tales are great (like the Arena) but others really suck (The Dark Enforcer quest).

You know games that have extra polish really surprise with the amazing detail put into all aspects of the game.

I think there's sucky sidequests in like every RPG. Some good ones, but you can't expect all of them to be good.

I don't expect them all to be good, but when you notice that the bad outweigh the good.

I tried to turn a friend on to this game a while back, showed him the trailer of that dragon fight and so on, he really does have a hatred for Wii things but loves rpgs according to him. He told me something I still don't understand fully - "The main character is too bishonin and the sword was too big and typical."

But almost a month later tells me he bought an Xbox360 for Star Ocean.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

Soriku has a point. This guy is clearly a fraud.

Of course Star Ocean is worth buying a console for so that sort of cancels out his crimes.
