Yeah that game sounds like something to avoid! Awesome post Kyle.

As for question of the week.
I'm definitely getting Yakuza 4, as I loved 3 and 2 was pretty good too.

I also thought about it and I think I'll be getting Pokemon Black/White....I thought I'd give up on the series after I played Pearl.....So I gave HeartGold and SoulSilver a miss.......But these new changes look interesting!

As for the other games listed there...I'm afraid I haven't uhh....heard of any of them =(

Is there any you think I should pay attention to?

I'm still playing FFX-2 International. Hacking away at all the extra content is pretty time consuming, the monster taming is simple enough, but the Coliseum is rough! I only need to unlock one more cup now, but it's tough because you have to go through the toughest enemies in the game to get it. This particular team of a Mushroom Cloud and Black Elemental is especially deadly as they can cast an extremely strong Ultima spell at will. The Mushroom can also use a nasty pollen attack which inflicts almost every ailment (including stop) to your entire party. Can you say Ribbon? icon_smile.gif

I'm using a team of Dark Knights against them at the moment, taking them down with the Charon move. It's pretty much a case of who hits first wins - you need to beat them twice. My party is at level 85 with nearly 100 hours on the clock. Other than Via Infinito, this is definitely the game's true challenge. The story's last boss is a pushover. I managed to take down Angra Mainyu a few hours ago. icon_smile.gif Also, I hate Tonberries, they ruin everything!

Ad, I'm curious, what did you find about my FFX post that was bad? I covered all of the spoilers I think.

EDIT (tea interrupted the rest of my post): I gave Half Minute Hero a go on my PSP as that arrived this afternoon along with Etrian Odyssey III. Half Minute Hero seems to be one of those gems hidden by the bigger titles. Defeating a boss or objective in 30 seconds seems impossible right? This game makes that possible and fun as well. Not only is it an RPG, I think of it as part strategy as well because you need to quickly plan what you need to do before confronting the boss and this may take serveral goes until you get the right pattern that works for you.

I haven't tried Etrian Odyssey III yet, still sealed in front of me but I've give that one a go shortly. This will be my first Etrian Odyssey game so I'm not sure how well I'll go with it.

Oh man, so many posts...

I'll only be getting one new release this month and not surprisingly it's...

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation
Already have this pre-ordered. I'm not risking it to go out of print within a month like what happened with DQV. I know absolutely nothing about the sixth game in the series but I can't look away from some more DQ goodness. It's such a charming series and the DS remakes are fantastic.

I also have 999, Ghost Trick and Demon's Souls coming in the mail.

I started Persona 3 Portable last night. I'm not very far, only just reached the Tartarus entrance but so far it's been quite good. I love the presentation on the PSP too, the menus are so slick and pretty to look at.

Awesome post about Lufia Kyle! Sadly you helped justify why I didn't consider buying it. I liked the old Lufia 2 characters.

I've got about half a dozen or so non-handheld console rpgs that I have finished part way through. Getting back into them is the hard part as well as deciding which one to get back into. Ones I remember of the top of my head:

Tales of Vesperia - nearly at the 2/3rds mark
Lost Odyssey - a bit into disc 4
Suikoden Tactics - somewhere in chapter 1
Suikoden V - Getting near the end, but tempted to restart to get the 108 stars
Resonance of Fate - Probably not quite 1/3 of the way in, but probably will forget about this one...
Enchanted Arms - A bit past the start, but don't exactly love the grid combat.
Magna Carta 2 - On the mainland and learned a bunch of weird controller movements, which I'm not sure I want to put the effort in to using.

Ones I've been meaning to start:

Odin Sphere
Devil Summoner (PS2)
Infinite Undiscovery - Technical I played the tutorial, but I died during the tutorial and refused to look at it again.

Is this the part where your party splits into two teams and you have to control them both in order to solve the puzzle? because man that was the most chore-riffic portion of the game.

You'll be surprised to know how easy it is to beat this game and find a cheap exploit, if I can beat in less than 10 days, anyone can. Probably the easiest (and shortest) game to finish in your backlog.

As I have completed most I these I can give you some friendly advice for your priorities ^__^-

God tier- Tales of Vesperia
Top tier- Lost Odyssey
Good tier- Enchanted Arms and Magna Carta 2
icon_annoyed.gif tier- Resonance of Fate.

I am not familiar with the Suikoden series though but I have heard good things.

There is a cheap exploit? I missed out as I struggled at the end.

Sorry, there is no impact in Mass Effect 2. However, in ME2, if you saved her, she will inform the character of her progress so it seems like she might play a role in ME3 somehow. Whether she keeps her promise is unknown.

Yeah, I saved her, too. My Shepard is compassionate ... and probably stupid.

But, honestly, though, I felt as if the Rachni really was telling the truth ... through her puppet. I don't know, I just had this impression that she really did feel the way she did and it would be nice to see just what exactly occurs because of this decision.

I think whatever does happen will be pretty awesome.


I'm just downloading Overlord and I will start playing through the game again. I haven't told grandpa, though ... !!!

In fact, I've already started and recruited Mordin, Kasumi, Zaeed and Jack, but I've left it at that.

I was all set to begin playing as a female Shepard, but I couldn't do it. You see, I saw my Shepard from the first game, with all the choices I had made, and I just had to use him again. So, what I'm going to do is play through again with my Shepard and use it as my definitive playthrough, now that I can play trough Shadow Broker and can recruit Kasumi.

It's been a blast all over again so far, but everything seems to be over so quickly. It must be because I remember a lot of what happens, so I'm prepared for it.

Kasumi was a great character, but it's such a shame that she shares Zaeed's fate and basically becomes a mannequin once her mission is complete. It would be nice to know that she gets a bit more developed in ME3. I hope she does. Zaeed, too, to some degree.

No, I got up to the point where 4 monsters are walking through the water to crush the town. I couldn't take them down in time, so I put it away and never tried again.

When I was making the decision, I was a bit iffy, but from the brief interaction in ME2, I expect (in ME3) goddamn Rachni spaceships to sweep across the galaxy, where me and the queen are best buds and we have a working relationship that involves "Oh, you want that thing dead? Sure I can do that!". Because my Shepard is that cool a guy to be friends with. On the other hand, my fem Shep freed the Queen because she wants a giant bug army at her disposal.

Also, after taking a break from FF13, I am now nearly finished it.
I don't love it, but I don't hate it, and I certainly don't dislike it.

Now I don't wanna be that guy that after posting this, in getting everyone's hopes up but according to some forum on another website, the blurred pictures 2 pages back aka this




http://ataleoftworichards.com/

is indirectly confirming tales of grace F for the US (thank god for the ps3 being region free). Now this is a quote from the forumer on how he figure it out,; I'm too lazy to check that consider we find out in two days but if someone wants to confirm it, go ahead (and the url on the quote has been removed).



Forumer wrote:
This was posted by FilthieRich on Namco Bandai's Facebook earlier today. You can make out the 'f' pretty easily, and the URL references a plot point in the game.

To see it better, copy and paste into MS Paint and invert the colors.

I can't remember which character gets it first but you should have an ability called 'extract ability' keep using that on enemies and they should drop 1 or 2 at a time.


I'm pretty sure it was Kimahri but now I'm interested so can someone confirm that.




Also if Jikandia (What?):The Timeless Land is anything like Half Minute Hero (which it should be) then its a day one purchase from me. Anyone else

And with the purchases of RPGs in the first quarter I definitely going to get Radiant Historia from day one. Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation and Ys I & II Chronicles will be brought at a later date and I still got to go through the series of Yakuza so I won't buy number 4 yet.



Also Kyle, you really let Lufia have it on that last post. I mean, apparently they were on a limited budget with limited time so that might explain a few problems but it definitely worth a play through.
It seems that everyone who plays this game is divide into 3 groups; those who played the original and hate the reboot, those who didn't play the original and love this or those who don't mind this cause they can't remember the original. But you're right on how rushed it felt with the storyline and characters, I think the 2nd and 3rd sinistral were only in their part of the storyline for an hour or two max before it was onto the next one.

Personally I think they should of remade the 1st Lufia game over this as that really needs to be redone but it was a decent effort. Also you got to love the music




and





(yes I know they're the remix version but they are still awesome)

Don't get me wrong, I did rip into Lufia, but I did say it was fun for what it was. It's not a stellar title that I'd recommend to everyone, and it's the type of game I can only play in short (or long) bursts. I guess what I'm saying is it's not a game that I can't put down. Am I glad I'm playing it? Yes, because it's something simple and easy during a time when I haven't really felt like playing a game with a lot of depth, but all this doesn't stop it from being a bit of a failure on a number of different fronts. I guess it's worth a shot if you want a simple but fun action RPG on the DS.

Now, speaking of this Tales of Two Richards debacle/hype thing, the picture has changed. And it looks kind of disturbing.

I'm wondering if anyone can make heads or tails of this one.



What is ticking me off a little is some general negativity about them localizing Graces on another forum, especially this chick. Is it fair to be such a douche about it?

Dice wrote:

Personally, I'm actually kinda disappointed. This has already been out a while - and I thought it'd be for Xillia, where by this point, I'd rather have. Ah well, I'd probably get it nonetheless.
I hope this doesn't forfeit the chances of getting Xillia now - especially since Banco never seems inpressed with Tales sales. (lol, rhyme point!)


Uh, be happy with with you get, maybe? Take it one step at a time? By the way, dumbo, Xillia still doesn't have a release date in Japan, so why would it be a release date announcement for America for Xillia? ...

Oh, she appears to have some more insightful comments.

Dice wrote:

I guess I'm just a bit surprised the announcement came now and for this title of all of them [as opposed to later, for Xillia].

One thing that bothered me from what I saw at my bud's for Graces... it can be, almost quite literally, quite flowery. Some parts are just odd too. The battle system looked easy too though. =(


Aha. Yes.

And what does "flowery" mean, exactly?

Dice wrote:
Aesthetics wise, I'm still worried about how well this will sells Stateside (hence my earlier concern about "forfeiting" our chances of getting Xillia). Inomata's flowery designs are...uh, exceptionally flamboyant to this years top selling video game: Black Ops, a much more balls-to-the-wall shoot-em-up. I'm glad there's as large a niche-J market there is in North America - I just hope it's enough to keep the Tales series strong here.


Bah. Then there are the people who are refusing to buy the game because of different reasons. It looks crap, I don't like Tales games but it's good for the fans, I already imported so I'm not buying it again. Then they say it's the fans' fault if this game doesn't sell. Blah blah blah.
_________________________________

So, Ar Tonelico arrives soon, March 15th, apparently. Here's what this premium edition looks like for anyone who's interested. I don't know how much it costs, but I'll probably just get the standard game.



I'm pretty sure I know of at least one other person who will be buying the premium edition ... I think! icon_wink.gif

Nintendo President Says 2011 Is 25th Anniversary Of Dragon Quest

That's a headline on Siliconera. So, like the article says, yes, it would be nice if they revealed DQX or something soon. I really want to see what it looks like. And it would be nice if we were to actually get it. I'm sure we will, won't we? I mean, being an RPG on the Wii doesn't mean anything, right?

(Sorry, I'm becoming so bitter!)

But let's look at this:

Arc Rise Fantasia - Umm, could have been decent, but was ruined by that localization ... and then we didn't even get a release here, forgotten as usual.

The Last Story - Who knows what's going on there.

Muramasa - Fun, but flawed, the localization was again ruined by that company. It felt so ... dry.

Xenoblade - Who knows again.

ToS DotNW - Decent, still haven't finished it, very happy it was released here, but doesn't hold a candle compared to mothership Tales titles. Still, it's about the only decent RPG on the Wii to choose from, so you can't be picky.

Dragon Quest X - That's all we know of it. For a couple of years now. It's DQX and on the Wii, apparently.

I will be very disappointed if these RPGs are given American release dates but PAL misses out. I think that if I am to get new consoles ever again for whatever reason, I'm not going with a PAL one from now on, unless it's region free, of course.

I really enjoyed EA till I got up to a part where you fight 3 very hard bosses in a row without being able to save or checkpoints between fights.

I can handle very hard battles but when it's 3 in a row and death on y any of the fights means starting from the first boss, you can keep your high difficulty and shove it icon_lol.gif

It seems that most people quit the game at that point.

I like this game but rarely play it.The combat has to much to it and is hard so I'm not exactly fond of the combat.

haha, those Dice comments aren't that bad, maybe I'm missing the build up to them though icon_smile.gif

But yeah, we should be happy if we get anything at all at this stage. People on Neogaf have been freaking out suggesting that it is just a new Pacman game. Others suggested each picture is actually a different game in Namco's line up. Either way we supposedly find out tomorrow/Thursday.

'Finished' MH3, as in saw the credits. There are still 5 bosses I haven't fought yet (2 offline). Don't know if I could be bothered going online, last time I went everyone was really aggressive.

I'd agree that Half Minute Hero is a gem. Not only is it fun racing through the levels but the dialogue with the goddess (and others) is usually amusing. And how many RPGs let you save the world multiple times? If you're going to do it once, you might as well keep going.

Later levels can get pretty epic.

I'm still playing Strange Journey and am up to the Eridanus sector. I ended up manually drawing a map of the warp points to stop getting lost as it was doing my head in mentally tracking it all. I could have found a map on the internet, but it felt good to do it myself... and... I was at my Mum's at the time and braving her slow computer and internet is at least a mild nuisance.

I'll definitely be picking up DQVI at some point and probably Radiant Historia, but I think I'll wait until March or so and decide if I want Okamiden at the same time. Pokemon, umm, pass. Amongst other things, random battles in Pokemon games always end up driving me crazy though I have a much higher tolerance for them in other games. Battles in Strange Journey are random but you're at least given an indication if they'll happen within the next few turns.
