Many overlooked RPGs lie dormant in the catalogues of gaming, but players can pick up their swords and shields with these amazing JRPG hidden gems!
Game Rant - "From Star Ocean to Final Fantasy, there have been a number of JRPG's that have been unfairly undervalued by their Metascores. Here are 10 examples."
While I agree that the combat in Star Ocean 5's combat is pretty fun, saying that its story is more enjoyable than its predecessors is highly debatable. Also, it's not just the technical issues the game suffers from.
Completely disagree the games I played from the list all deserve their scores (Star Ocean, Nier, Tales of Zesteria, Type-0). While there are certainly people that love these games, they have flaws in many categories, that justify those scores.
Star Ocean especially bored the hell out of me. Lame story and face roll battle system (I finished the game anyway). These games are really niche and when rated by a broader public, fall short. In my opinion even in their own genre.
In this episode, we explore The History of The Last Remnant. A game the recently received a remastered release and had an interesting development cycle.
It's a good game, but the story is only okay. The gameplay is where the game really shines, but the game itself does an atrocious job of explaining it's own systems. Basically, you need to read a "what I wish I knew before I started" somewhere online, and then the game becomes great.
I can`t read that, I am not an eagle you know. ;)
Let's hope this franchise will live up up to Square Enix's other big franchises ( mainly FF, and DQ ).
aaaaah.... good ol square enix games
"since this game is meant to appeal equally to Japanese and Western audiences, Square-Enix has created two very different protagonists, with one tailor-made for each demographic." Japan gets an 18 year old swordsman "headstrong, spunky, elaborately dressed". Us American get a "brutal antihero... known only as THE CONQUEROR" "... his clothes didn't start out as red... that's from the blood of all the eneimes he has killed."
Wow, is that how the Japanese sees us? I mean yeah, I'm starting to like how the guy sounds, and he looks cool... but that's besides the point. lol
BTW: I'm getting this game first day... period. :P
@observer: "Square Enix won't even confirm if he is playable or not..." there is always a possibility until SE confirms. Here's hoping. Well at least as an unlockable character. Either way, I'm still getting this game, the graphics are killer.
I'm thinking the PS3 might be the superior version just how darkness was.
