@Elena_The_Turk: That said, some of the battle effects would fry a PS2 in 5 seconds flat.

@UniversalSigh: Well said. And I don't think the story is as bad as the review purports. Also, I think that it's an uptick for me to play a game with my daughter where morals and self-struggle are painted in a positive light. Even Tales games that have more tragic endings, including Xillia 2, still portray characters who are willing to sacrifice much in order to provide a better world for others.

"Speaking of the exploration, Zestiria boldly foregoes the series’ overworld area in favor of portraying the hero (i.e., the party) proportional to his surroundings." And Xillia 1 & 2 didn't??

@fragsnipa: I find this a curious comment considering that this iteration of Battlefront is little different from the Battlefronts of yesteryear...except better looking, better sounding, more unlockables....hmmm.

@blueboxdoctor: The map design is AMAZING, IMO.

Okey dokey..."Repetitive combat"...why don't we see that same criticism on COD multiplayer titles? Granted, the level of customization is higher...but apart from that???

@NiteX: Hmmmm...it's a Vita title...let me know what happens, DammitDanbo, when you try to drop the card into the disc slot.

@StonerDemon: No kidding. I liked Greg and Colin, but losing both of them hurt that site quite a bit. I'm not crazy about the other reviewers on IGN these days.

@origamibomber: Agreed. That, and her credibility comes into question because a Persona plays an instrument by way of celebration if you do well at the end of a level. "...my suspension of disbelief was finally shattered." Really? Jumping into a TV and talking to a hollow bear was doing ok for you on your acid trip there Heidi? That is some gooooooood stuff you're getting from your dealer.

@DanielL5583: Milking only works as long as people are poring glasses and consuming. If it wasn't popular, it would not get made.
