Skies of Arcadia

It has a simple story, simple characters, music isn't that good...at least ship battles and adventuring was fun (though random battles = bleh).

It's not bad...just overrated for no reason.

 

Didn't you say its awesome on its wall? ^^
I kinda like it overall, but the battles are just so slow -.-

Kingdom Hearts for me.



"And yet, I've realized that maybe living a "decent" life means you won't ever have a "good" life."

 

Yeah Soriku did say it was awesome on its wall.

DQ8, KH1, and FF XII (judging by the sheer LOVE people profess for it here, here are news for you, it sucks! its good aspects are the graphics and the battle system )

 

 

So FF XII has good graphics and good gameplay yet the game sucks...because of story alone?

 

 

Just because it has no crappy love story or characters as the main focus doesn't mean the story sucked.  The story just focuses on something different.

 

FFXII had a story? since when? :S

The story actually started out pretty good, but once you get on the first judge airship or something like that it gets boooooring



Kingdom hearts II , followed by Final fantasy X , but not saying they are bad games.

Paper mario is the most over-rated piece of trash from last gen, it was basically paper mario 64 which was horrid to begin with IMOB.



Pokemon Sapphire (according to VGC's bug)...

Seriously, i think Tales of Destiny 2 (i like it, but it's not all that and a bag of chips, and i certainly wouldn't put it in Famitsu's top 100...

Story is major in a JRPG for me. XII's story is very forgettable, and I actually remember only pieces of it, while I remember X scene by scene...

 



Let's not get into a "Is Final Fantasy XII good" discussion, gentlemen, those never end well.

Overrated from last gen? I can't think of any that I've actually played.

You not going to say Tales of Symphonia?
