[QUOTE="Capitan_Kid"]Also the overrating of Xenoblade in this thread is nauseating. GreySeal9

I love when people get butthurt about the praise Xenoblade gets.

Anyway, as far as the claim in the OP is concerned, I highly doubt a Tales game is the best of the gen.

Silly seal. Disagreeeing is not being butthurt.

That's good. I hope I like it as much as Vesperia. I couldn't get farther than two hours in Graces. Didn't care for the battle system.

It has taken a while but finally a game surpasses xenoblade and graces f and ofcourse, persona 4 the golden

thoughts?

Sweenix

Better than Xenoblade? Bold words my friend, but I sure am excited for it! So i'll have to give it a shot after Pikmin 3 and Dragon's Crown are completed.

Why not: 1) Wait until the gen is over. 2) Wait for the honeymoon phase to pass. 3) Replay some older games you might not have touched in a while and double check. ?

[QUOTE="SonicNextGen2"]Also, I'm going to be the first to say it: Ni No Kuni was overrated to hell, the art design and music were amazing, but the story and characters were bland with no development and the gameplay was very slow and shallow, worse than Xillia in my opinion.

:lol: What a load of bullcrap. But what can you expect from someone who thinks Sakura Wars is a great game. :lol:

[QUOTE="Boddicker"]

[QUOTE="Sweenix"]

Never played, the difficulty is sooo.. offputting

Give me an easy mode with unlimited respawns and then i might try

Sweenix

This speaks volumes about you, Sweenix.  I ass-umed you were another forever alone basement dweller who hungrily lapped up anything from the magical land of Japan.  I bet when you wake up every morning your first thought is disappointment that you aren't Japanese.

But nooooooooo, you obviously prefer your JRPG experience to be an ultra-linear, handholding, grindfest.  People made such a big deal about the Souls series breaking the traditional JRPG mold.

I sincerely hope you have a gf, Sweenix.

I do actually have a girl friend :P

and yes, she is real and not animated :)

Haha, I have a girlfriend too and she is Japanese, she is the reason I got into Sakura Wars (and Hamtaro, but I'm a closet fan of that show)

I've been hearing so many good things about this game, I'm almost tempted to go out right and buy it. Though I've never played a Tales game before, so I don't know what to expect.

Expect: + A great battle system + Well orchestrated music + Thought out character development + Lots of character interaction in skits + Great designs for the scenery and characters +/- A dark story - A slow start It's worth a buy

By the sounds of it, you can choose which character you want to go through the story as? If so, that's pretty neat.

Well, not the worst I've heard, but I can tell, for me personally, it's going to be a bit distracting.

Her voice doesn't fit hear appearance either, in my opinion. Probably because I'm too used to hearing those more high pitched, squeaky voices going with character designs like that.

There was the obvious issue people had initially, which was the lisp. My issue is with her monotony... A certain amount is needed due to the type of character she is [spoiler] non-human Deity, of sorts [/spoiler]

She just lacks any and all variety, which kinda irks me.

That being said, terrible was a poor word to choose :P She's not  that  bad.
