The RPG Lounge [OT Approved] UPDATE ON LAST PAGE

So, I know this is the PS3 board, but I was wondering how you dudes felt about some of the Wii RPGs. There are a few that are unique to the system, and I was thinking about checking them out. Ones I'm interested in are Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Tales of Symphonia, Rune Factory, and Arc Rise Fantasia. Any input would be appreciated.MrSelf-Destruct

Can you turn off the little voices when they speak?

Ok, grabbed a handful of Wii RPGs: Tales of Symphonia (haven't tried it yet but loved Vesperia)... MrSelf-Destruct

Have you played the original Tales of Symphonia on gamecube? If you haven't then I HIGHLY recommend it. Probably my second favorite RPG ever behind Final Fantasy VII. Plus, it'll help you enjoy ToS: Dawn of the New WOrld better as well.

Now that you think about it, the Wii actually did have a lot of hardcore JRPG's Young_Charter

Yeah, I was hoping this was going to be the case for the Wii (and now the Wii U) in general. I figured at least jrpg makers would be all for a cheaper development console to try out their games. It happened to a point but I was hoping for even more to be honest. I think devs were scared that even though the Wii had a big install base, most of those people people were ones who weren't buying jrpgs...

[QUOTE="Young_Charter"]

[QUOTE="MrSelf-Destruct"] It has a stack of them, most of which got pretty favorable reviews. I was surprised, honestly, because all I ever hear anyone talk about are the Mario and Zelda games for the most part.Texas2089

Yeah. It seemed as if this gen murdered both the JRPG and Survival Horror market. Young_Charter

My faith was restored a bit with Xenoblade and Last Story for the Wii and Ni No Kuni for PS3. I only played the demo of Ni No Kuni but it seems right up my alley.

Xenoblade is quite good. I haven't been able to devote the time to it that I would like but whenever I pick it up I get really engrossed in the game.

You can probably fetch a pretty penny for it. From what I'm reading it's getting harder to find.

My friend bought 6 brand new copies of Xenoblade and made me sell them on Ebay for him. The last 4 copies sold for 130 bucks... I kinda want to punch my friend.

Also, anyone play White Knight Chronicles 2? I played the first and see the 2nd one is cheap as hell now. Is it worth it? I know you get both games, so that's pretty neat.

Hearing lots of SMT soundtracks lately, so please ATLUS, Digital Devil Saga 3 on PlayStation "4"!01_855403

Fire Emblem: Awakening is legit greatness. So many subtle little changes here and there and fantastic production values. I'll be really surprised if this isn't the highest selling Fire Emblem to release.

My tactician in Fire Emblem

Tried as close as I could to get it to Saber from Fate Zero

And another one

The Last Story

Sometimes I think I enjoy the music of games more than the actual games themselves

I have been feeling that way too. While I'm working I will go to a few different RPG playlists on the youtube and get all pumped up to play some RPGs next time I get the chance. Then when I get a chance to play a lot of times I'll do something else or it doesn't live up to the glory of the music :?

Speaking of Last Story, I haven't played it in almost a month probably. I need to jump in to that again when I get a chance. I have too much on my plate right now...

So, I'll be honest. I have never been the one to play RPG since Poke'mon. I was looking for a RPG to get into. Right now FF VII and FF IX are on sale. I will probably be playing it on my Vita. So which one and Why? Thx

Should I buy Final Fantasy IX from the PSN store?

the materia system in FFVII might be a bit cumbersome Texas2089

If you never played them before FFIX is the one to go for, it has aged quite a well.
