How would the greatest RPG look like for you if it had to have twelve things
you liked before they decided to release it?
1: Xenogears "Fighting" system ( Gears and human)
2: Final fantasy 7 "magic" system ( Materia)
3: Final Fantasy 6 summoning Magic ( Espers)
4: "Overworld" aka FF4,6,7 etc etc ( I hate linear ala Final Fantasy 10. forward, forward, insert cordinates )
5: "Aircraft" aka FF6,7,8,9, Xenogears etc etc.
6: Lovestory like Xenogears and Final Fantasy 8 and Final Fantasy 10 ( sorry I am one damn sucker for love stories)
7: Did I'm a say sucker for love stories?? )
8: Random battles (in overworld view, random... otherwise visible enemies)
9: No F-ing fixed levels( I actually love to "grind" levels for a few hours if the boss is too hard)
10: Great music. ( Man with the machinegun-FF8, One winged Angel-FF7, You are not alone-FF9, Jecht battle theme-FFX, Kefka final battle theme-FF6, Fuse-Xenogears, Terra theme for overworld- FF6, intro theme-FF8 ) etc etc
11: Atleased 40-45 hours gameplay for the main story.
12: It need to be TURNBASED!!!11!! ( damn I hate one button smashing, no for good loosers who can't think straight, aka I have not beaten a game witout smashing one button).
So what's yours???
( PS I know I forgot several games like Lufia 1-2, Chrono trigger or other games that are not turnbased etc etc Before the PS1 era )
If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing (mostly)
And shepherds we shall be,
For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints
