UM writes: When I first wrote about Nier about a month ago, I called attention to its music, its minimalist storytelling, its pastiche of familiar titles and genres, and its flawed brilliance. When I wrote about it, I was almost to the end of the game – I’d beaten it, but not quite… or so I thought. Since I’m fanatical about spoilers, little did I know that when I “beat” the game, it was only the beginning of the game’s true brilliance…
Get ready to embark on a journey filled with monsters, magic, and overpowered haircuts, because this list features the best JRPGs on the PS3.
There wasn't that many. Thanks to the west's criticism. It was definitely lacking compared to every other ps system. Dont get me wrong there were a few good ones i know that.
Only gripe I have with Ar Tonelico 3 is that Saki is annoying as hell whether English or in Japanese. Then Saki's English voice actor became Ionasal on Ar Nosurge she was a little annoying but not as bad. Johnny Young Bosch voicing Tatsumi I thought he did a great job. And Akiko Shikata with her vocals and the music from the games just went hand and hand.
Nier and Drakengard are two series that couldn't be more different in their setting and stories, but somehow they are still linked.
Whether intended or not, NieR makes a strong case that good gameplay is not everything, especially if a game has larger goals in mind.
i mean ... it depends right. when i think about drakengard 1s combat .. damn. its god awful. the game is great but its very charring to get through because of it.
good combat helps a game tremendously
Between this and el shaddai, two underrated games of last gen. still worth a try if you never played either.
