Just out of curiosity what are your top 10 favorite JRPGs of last gen?

finalfantasy94

Ok lets see I will list what I remember

1- DQVIII

2-Persona 4

3- FFX

4- Suikoden 5

5- Nocturne

6- Shadow hearts 2

7- Valkyrie profile 2

8- Dark cloud 2

9- Rogue galaxy

10- P3

11- Shadow hearts

12- Tales of the Abyss

After rethinking I guess if Xenoblade came out last gen it would be somewhere between 5 to 9 :P.

Shadow hearts woot!

I loved shadow hearts if it wasnt for the boring combat and lack of cut scenes the 1st shadow hearts would be easily it the top 5 and shadow harts 2 fixed all the bad points of the 1st one but the story wasnt as good thats why its not in the top 5 :P.

I love both the games. I enjoyed the combat in both but of course 2 hugely improved on it and at the time it felt so different from other jrpgs iv played combat wise. I also got every single thing in both parts which I rarely do for any rpg. Also the game was dang hard but still fun especially the side boss battles. I also got the good ending for part 1 and was surprised when I found out the bad ending was the real one. Shadow hearts forever left a impact on me and it will never go away.

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"][QUOTE="Another48hours"] Games without suggestive females, er I mean males winging sticks. A lot of those around. Mindjack is a good start.

Another48hours

mindjack? really? REALLY? MINDJACK? might as well say the CD-i was your favorite console.

Although a bad bad as the game is there is no stick swinging which still makes the point but god damn, and that final boss. I wanted to shoot random people in real life.

instead you get to possess women because you couldn't content in just crossdressing.

Mass Effect 3 takes priority for me, but I may end up getting it down the line, as one of the last games I'll get for my Wii.

[QUOTE="Another48hours"][QUOTE="Some-Mist"][QUOTE="Another48hours"] Can normal Wiis play imports?

I'll leave you to figure that one out.

I said NORMAL WIIS so the answer is NO.

There's nothing abnormal about the Wii I purchased. I purchase it from the store (like best buy or gamestop) like everyone else. I would still be able to play my import titles if I bought a new 'normal' wii.

[QUOTE="Another48hours"][QUOTE="slvrraven9"] Hey stupid, look back a few posts back where I explain some of what I encountered during GAMEPLAY! Again, you are relying on crystal balls. Again.slvrraven9

theres 4 pages of other useless crap that i have already searched through to find what it is youre referring to, unsuccessfully i might add. why dont you just tell me instead of elementary school name calling and using this overused crystal ball phrase. because if youre going to resort to dumbing down our debate to childish name dropping and redundant jokes and gags then let me know so i can drop out of this foolishness before you srsly get out of hand, with me.

EDIT: im going to assume that youre referring to this post

Because I don't lie suggestive men wearing girl clothes and make up, big buff duded wearing thin armor that shows their stomachs swinging sticks? With magic fairy dust?No, I am happy to avoid that at all costs.It also doesn't help the game doesn't stick out from other rpgs over the years just over shooters. Revolution? What was GS smoking? But regardless of gameplay, not a fan of swinging sticks with suggestive males.Another48hours

in wich case yes, im going to safely stick with my assumption that you have do nothing more than youtubed a gameplay vid or two and dumbed up some education on a game that you havent played at all. you also contradict yourself if in fact this IS the post that youre referring to by saying that youll stay away from the game because of the character models but yet you make the reckless claims that you have actually played the game :lol: by saying this! :lol: :lol: tell me what was the first 20 minutes like, and please, for those that havent played it, include a spoiler tag.... go ahead and youtube up some more footage! ill wait.

i now understand that im being trolled.....as are the rest of us.

So wait, you PLAY as the characters in the game, so it's a fact thses characters exist and you WILL see them by playig the game as well as other questionable characters, but I am watching a youtube video? Once again, not only do you not have a Crystal Ball, you also are defeding a game you never played. Also, I explained some gameplay a few posts back, but you seem to be incapable of doing so. I am sure I can get you a special helper to give you the ability to do so if it's so hard. Or you can continue to ignore it and pretend it's not there.

[QUOTE="tjoeb123"]Okay, so why is there a flame war (or something) going on here...?D4W1L4H

Because someone thinks that having anime characters with swords in a game is worse than having special agents in designer clothing while shooting space age robots.

Strange since that's not even what you shoot at in the start of the game and most of the game indicating you have't played it or didn't do correct research. I never said I hated flags, but you don't have to go flaming homo on me just because your an idiot who acts without thinking.

[QUOTE="Another48hours"][QUOTE="Some-Mist"]already have the euro version, and probably about half way through it too.. my copy of the last story shipped recently too.. would have been nice if the US jumped on it earlier - then I wouldn't have imported both titles. I don't plan on rebuying the games I already own :Ogotdangit

Then when you Wii breaks down years from now you won't be able to play.

You are correct, you can't play Wii games without a Wii.

You ca;t play imported games on a normal Wii, are SW users incapable of actual thought?

I see you have never played a game and did no research like the other guy, can you turn your "protect the homos" switches off, took this completely the wrong way you guys did.

Last time I put the Pal region of MP Trilogy on my Amarican Wii, it won't play. So are you saying it is an ERROR? Because I doubt that.

It's region locked. There are ways round it, but they're not legal.

I know how to get around it (put I have a PAL wii so I don't nedd to.) But it proves my point, you can't play imported games on a normal Wii.

If you like JRPGs at all, you really should try it, it's like the Skyrim of JRPGs with its massive world, hidden areas, secret bosses, etc. Not as many substancial side stories, but a really epic main story.

How many hours is the game? Is it like Skyrim and really never ends? I read The Last Story is around 20 hours? That is pretty short for a RPG.

Main story may take you from 60 to 80 hours. Sidequests and trying to kill all unique monsters, it may get even longer than 100 hours. For me, my gameplay time is 100+ and I have yet to hit cap level.

It took me about 52 hours to beat the main story doing little to no side quests, which I'm doing on my second play through. There's just a lot to do, it's not so open ended as Skyrim because the side quests aren't as substancial, but there are secret bosses, secret arts, items, etc to be discovered out you venture away from the main story which takes a lot of people over the 100 hour mark

What games do you like, so I can totally rip on them too.

Games that don't have suggestive men swinging sticks. Go ahead and insult every game on the planet now.

I'm waiting till E3 to get this game (maybe longer). I don't have a Wii but if I'm not sold on the Wii U at E3, then I'll just be getting a Wii this year to play it. If I am sold on the Wii U then I'll pick it up at launch and Xenoblade as well. Either way I'm playing the game this year :P

Very excited about this game.
