So a question for all RPG fans. Which of these two games will you buy in March?

Personally I'll be getting Resonance of Fate, after playing the demo it has wowed me, I absolutly enjoyed it.

And we all know what FF is.

So cast your vote, I'm curiouse who else will be getting Resonance of Fate.

Both, but I highly doubt Resonance of Fate gets a March 9th release. It hasn't even been released in Japan yet and won't be until the 28th I believe. I just don't see the US version being released only 1.5 months after its counterpart. I'd love it to be released earlier no doubt though.

Both if I can afford it. If not I'll just pick FFXIII first and RoF when I have the extra cash. I'm kind iffy on RoF after playing the demo. All the unnecessaryjumping got on my nerves. Also since it is a Tri-Ace title I'm not expecting much when it comes to story (the only Tri-Ace titles I found to have decent stories were Valkyrie Profile 1,2)

Resonance of Fate is a much higher priority for me, although neither are going to be day one buys, unless I get my worker's permit next month.

FF is definitely a day one buy for me.

Resonance of Fate still looks a little iffy to me, so I'll probably wait for a few reviews to start showing up before I decide to buy it.

I planned on buying both, but if I buy an HDTV I might not be able to afford RoF. I won FFXIII in Japanese, but completing it made me want to play it in English all the more ...

Considering Tri-Ace's last great game was in 2000, I don't have super high hopes for RoF.. FFXIII pretty much has guranteed success in both sales and reviews.

While the gameplay looks pretty amazing on RoF, it's definitely going to be a "wait and see" title for me. I want to get a look at the reviews for it before I spend the cash, because I want to make sure it doesn't have a bland, crappy story. And also, I can foresee camera issues during gameplay, so that's another issue that I want to make sure isn't a problem before making the purchase.

tri-Ace may not be at the top of their game, but maybe they can bring things back around with Resonance of Fate (though I'm still yet to play Star Ocean 4). Of the two, I'm expecting FFXIII to be the superior game, but I'd like tri-Ace to at least put up some kind of reasonable fight.

This games and other JRPG that look way worse than FF13 are only getting attention cause people like to hate on whats more famous and sucessful. Cause thers no way look or will be a better game. From what we have seen it isnt better than FF13 in any way. So people are only giving it attention hoping for it to be more sucessful than FF13. But good luck buying the worst game.

If RPG's sold solely as a function of their quality, Persona 3 FES and Persona 4, and Suikoden III's sales would be like Final Fantasy game sales. It's obvious that people buy Final Fantasy just because it is Final Fantasy, however good the installments are. That being said, Resonance of Fate deserves praise if it is as good as people say (the people who are playing it).

While I don't agree with Drakes_fortune's assessment, I think it's only fair to give credit where credit is due. Final Fantasy didn't become such a large franchise by being horrible over and over again. I don't think they've put out a good numerical game since FFX, but SE's pet franchise built its fan base by being amazing for so many years. So sure, FF13 may sell well simply on the basis of being a final fantasy title, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's probably still a fantastic game, just like most of the other numerical titles have been.

No they not. That argument never made any sense. Why Persona 3, 4, suikoden III any better than FF? Even tough they get worst reviews and dont get as many fans? Do you think FF sucess came out of nowhere? Do you think they made one good game and people from there start buying all their games for no reason? If thats the reason why they didnt Persona is as well known? Like you said, they made 2 good games, why didnt it become a big franchise like FF? They both started from 0. If FF became what it is today, you know, thers a reason for that, and you know you gotta start thinking that the games are actually good and people like them way more than Persona games. And who tells you that arent people out there that have both and still like FF more? FF gets more hate than praise for the name. Look at FF13, it got an hughe ammount of unfari hate from people that never played it. Did Ressonance of Fate got that hate? no. And people dont buy FF just cause its FF. Thats an hughe bull****. FFCC:CC didnt sold very well and that goes for many other spin offs, mostly the ones with bad quality. People buy the main titles cause each one of them is an high quality game, always.

Its simple big games gets alot of hate the bigger is the game fanbase the more haters it will have as simple as that.

The mere fact that a game has better reviews and a larger following doesn't necessarily mean it is better. Especially when the JRPG review pool is so incredibly jaded that they use double standards for different games. I mean, they place Final Fantasy on some pedestal above all the other jrpgs. Even if you think Final Fantasy 7 was better than Suikoden 2, no sane JRPG gamer who had played both would say that Suikoden 2 was a A title compared to Final Fantasy 7. Even the most fanboyistic of Final Fantasy fans, if they had played Suikoden 2, would have given it atleast an 8.5. There is no reason we should trust jrpg reviews. In other news, I'm buying Resonance of Fate first.

I didn't say that FF7 was liked for no reason. I'm saying that, comparing it to Suikoden 2, there is no way you can say that Suikoden 2 (arguably one of the best JRPGs ever made) deserved a 7.6. JRPG reviewers have a long history of jaded opinions in favor of Final Fantasy as opposed to just as good JRPG franchises, or almost as good franchises. Even if you think that Final Fantasy is the best JRPG franchise around, it is not a whole 2 letter grades above the second best. Thats just madness.

sadly only FF games seems to get a free pass to 9+ scores in GS for JRPGs Suikoden and Wild arms games were great but yet they only scored 7s and 8s ==;.

The only Wild Arms I tried was 3, and I got bored to tears. Then again, I also heard that only 1 and 2 were any good, so maybe it was just bad luck on my part picking up the bad one. I think Suikoden 1 and 2 were brilliant, as was Suikoden Tierkreis. The fact that 2 got such a low score makes me sad. I'm not so sure what people love about Suikoden 3 though. I got really tired really fast of having to run through the same low-level areas over and over and over again(and dealing with all the random battles that come with it) just to get to my destination.

I'd put 5 above 4, because I liked 5's ending, it was a bit more of a twist.. in 4.. what the characters did after the "ending' was so pathetic, I felt bad having played the game at all..

Even the most fanboyistic of Final Fantasy fans, if they had played Suikoden 2, would have given it atleast an 8.5. There is no reason we should trust jrpg reviews. In other news, I'm buying Resonance of Fate first.

I'm halfway through Suikoden 2. It's really not that great. I don't think it's better than Final Fantasy VII so far.

People who are getting Resonance of Fate are in for the worst game of 2010 :lol:

I saw my buddy the other day play the japanese demo ( go download it from the JP PS Store before you throw your money on the trash ) and it was flat out awful game on all accounts.

I highly recommend people to NOT buy this awful game.

No wonder Square-enix didn't approve such trash.

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"][QUOTE="Drakes_Fortune"] You dont know what your talking about. yeah sure, people liked FF7 for no reason, yeah sure, im sure thats the reason.

I didn't say that FF7 was liked for no reason. I'm saying that, comparing it to Suikoden 2, there is no way you can say that Suikoden 2 (arguably one of the best JRPGs ever made) deserved a 7.6. JRPG reviewers have a long history of jaded opinions in favor of Final Fantasy as opposed to just as good JRPG franchises, or almost as good franchises. Even if you think that Final Fantasy is the best JRPG franchise around, it is not a whole 2 letter grades above the second best. Thats just madness.

I played Suikoden 2 and guess what? Its worst than any main title FF i have ever played.

It was garbage in all aspects, the the music was so awful it was like one very short tone that kept looping, the gameplay was so awful that made me laugh so hard, there were like three moves that was always repeated, the characters somersault in the air to shoot and they can't shoot unless their guns are upside down, they can't just flip their guns, nooooooooo, they have to somersault in the air to do it, I couldn't stand it, I was getting sick of the game I couldn't continue watching and Im not exaggerating, that was what really happened, the game is awful, please people, don't buy this game.

I thought I wouldn't see something more awful than Rogue Warrior but I did :P

EDIT: I just remembered something too, thats my friend's first reaction to the game while we were watching my other friend play it "that is a dreamcast game in graphics with some ugly gameplay"

i dont know about that i just watched a the a clip of the demo and all it seemed to be was a battle and the battle looked pretty damn awesome, from looking at it, it seems like a semi-real time system focusing on multiple and fast timed attacks/combos, and a variety of other things that i dont understand cause its in japanese kind of hard to make a strong recommendation like that jsut by see this and knowing little about story/characters :(

To each their own. Demos typically don't show more than a small handful of character abilities, so only having 3 skills doesn't surprise me. If you didn't like the combat style though, that's really just your preference. From what I saw from some gameplay videos, I think it looks like a blast. Though I'm waiting for reviews to go up before I buy it, because I don't understand japanese, so I don't know how good (or bad) the story is.

As I said after beating the demo for the first time gameplay changes lol I don't know why did they decide to use such a stupid Idea it makes the game looks bad but in the real gameplay you cant do special actions as much as you want you will have to do many normal attacks till you get enough points to do special actions (run and shoot or jump and shoot).

Both, but I highly doubt Resonance of Fate gets a March 9th release. It hasn't even been released in Japan yet and won't be until the 28th I believe. I just don't see the US version being released only 1.5 months after its counterpart. I'd love it to be released earlier no doubt though.

I agree. I seriously doubt it'll come out that soon. Not to mention I don't think SEGA would be stupid enough to pit it against FF. But then again with SEGA anything is possible. As for which I'm going to buy if they do both come out March 9th, I'll be getting both but I won't touch Resonance of Fate until after FFXIII.

Oh believe me, it wasn't my own reaction only, there were like over 6 of other friends in the room and they were all disguisted by how awful the game was, we were making some hilarious jokes on it, the game is a joke.

And even if the language they speak of is from ancient Aztec :P the gameplay and presentation is universal, Im playing FFXIII and it's Japanese and I can tell you without any doubt that it is an incredible game.
