In the end, Folklore is a true masterpiece. From its graphics and sound, to its masterfully told story, and finally to its addictive combat that is both strategic and hectic, the game is close to flawless. The repetition found in the earlier chapters and the lack of voice work in some key scenes bring it down somewhat, but it is still highly enjoyable. As a final thought, Folklore could be considered a PS3-seller for those in the market for a gamer with a solid storyline with the gameplay to back it up.
Final Score 4.5/5
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.
These JRPGs stand up on their own.
Could you get rich by investing in PS3 games? Almost definitely not. Can you make a few bucks by flipping PS3 games over the years? Yeah, sure! It wouldn’t even be that difficult. But let’s face it: Once these games are in your collection, you’re probably keeping them forever.
After a game's multiple generations old, and can't be had new at a reasonable price, that's when I see nothing wrong with emulation.
What's the point of paying someone scalper prices when the dev/publisher isn't even benefiting from it?
I paid $30 for SH Downpour on PS3 now it's around $70-$85 Canadian Lolipop Chainsaw I paid $15 and it has really gone up in price. I wonder if Transformers War and Fall of Cybertron will go up in price two of the best Transformers games every made.
Ever since Sony announced that they would shut down PS3 store these prices have skyrocketed and even though Sony backtracked now most gamers realize that it's a matter of time before the PlayStation 3 store is shut down. If you want these games get them while you can even if digital because once that story shut down the physical prices will just go crazy high we saw that already
And many of these games did not sell like crazy amounts so they are limited number of copies available for sale at any given time
thats the 6ths 9 i've seen for this game. and a slew of 8s and 8.5-8.9s a couple 7s a 6, one 5 and one 4. and that five came from a reviewer who spoke and understood only english and tried to review a game in japanese. wow thats just hilarious. Folklore is a game no one should miss. i think sony is foolish for not hyping this game. if they did. it would have gotten more sales. but i'm sure it'll do well by word of mouth
the game is amazing. i love the different worlds.so many colors and a really interesting story. reminds me of silenthill(not the scary part but storylike), meets sherlock, meets fairytale.
it`s sad about poor sales, but it`s great that this game was released on ps3. =)
games like Okami, Ico and SotC also didn`t made big sales, but these games are Great, i think same goes for Folklore.
playstation is unique console, because it gets such amazing games.
Very very odd.
Sounds like an awesome game based on many of the reviews! If I owned a PS3 I'd definitely be picking it up - congrats to those of you who do!
