Ok personally I am shocked that these games got such low scores at least the ones i played. I own and completed Blue dragon and it was an amazing game i mean yeah it had its cheesey moments but it still was a great game. Ok now i bought Lost Oddesy and man it is amazing also just havan't finished it yet. Now I am considering another one of these games but don't know which one. I took a look at Infinate Undiscovery and also Last reminnat(sp) just don't know which one but i am leaning toward IU let me know what you guys think.
youshould probably stay away from both of them. I've heard thay're not very good at all. I was gonna borrow them from my friend and I asked hgim to compare them from one another. he described IU as "less crappy" than The Last Remnant. even though he said that, I stilll wanna try out IU :D
Well Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey weren't really anything new. Really, there isn't anything in Blue Dragon that isn't already been done in SNES rpgs. And the only thing keeping Lost Odyssey from being as much a derivative as Blue Dragon is the ring system and the immortals.
They aren't bad games(which is reflected by their scores), but they certainly didn't try to stray much from the beaten path.
I haven't played The Last Remnant but I didn't really like Infinite Undiscovery. It fealt unfinished. Very unpolished. Rushed.
On X-BOX, there are not much J-RPGS, I still love them for the story and art design but just a little bit tired of the GAMEPLAY. Recently I look at Fable II, it's big different from the J-RPGS. I am looking forward to the star ocean 4 and FFXIII, which will mark the renaissance of J-RPG on current generation console.
I would recommend Tales of Vesperia because it is a JRPG and it is freaking AMAZING!!! :O But I have not played any of those 2 games that you said yet, but I will play them eventually. :O
I have only played LO out of all the JRPGs on 360. My not having played others has nothing to do with reviews though. LO took me 4 months to beat. I got to the 4th disc and just put the game down and didn't touch it for almost 3 months. I just got so sick of the random battles. Turn based gameplay doesn't bother me, but random battles do. I mean, when you are geting to your 50th hour of play and you can't run from A to B without getting in a random battle it gets old. This makes me think that all games like this need an option or an item to turn off random battles!
Anyway, I will play more JRPGs soon. I am really looking forward to Star Ocean.
Also, I think a lot of these sites are overly critical of games that just happen to fall into this catagory.
