Before reading, curb any excitement and lower your expectations. OK, ready? This isn't something to jump out of your chair for about, but Amazon Japan suddenly has the PlayStation 3 version of The Last Remnant in their catalog.
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.
Ohh no this crappy game, no one cares. Even if the PS3 gets the superior fixed version.
Within the two monts period(Feb - March), PS3 owners will get 5 Jrps. If ever this is true then they better release it around summer.
WKC - Feb 2
Star Ocean 4 - Feb 9
The Last Rebellion - Feb 23
FF 13 - March 9
Resonance of Fate - March 9
Just waiting for the NA release date of Ar tonelico 3.
Does anyone still care for this game. Square Enix boasted about how it's an RPG for the world. Then delayed it, and pretty much canned the game on one system leaving fans in the dark and have yet to own up as to the state of play with the PS3 version. This game should be boycotted if it ever reaches PS3.
i quit this game 5 minutes in.
