japan can make whatever the hell they want. and JFPS is not a genre of games, just like JRPGs and WRPGs are not genres of games. however RPG and FPS is are genres of games.
you wrote an excellent and well thought out article, you get an A+
its obvious that you didnt write that out of being some sort of FFVII groupie, thats personally my reason for my intense dislike of that game.
but anyway great job, your one of the only people i see on here take disagreements and not get all pissy. i respect that
FFVII is only CONSIDERED the best JRPG ever because its one of the most OVERRATED games in history.
Kefka > Sephroth
almost any JRPG protagonist > Cloud (the lying, identity thief)
Chrono Trigger battle system > FFVII battle system
almost any JRPG skill/magic system (especially Chrono Triggers) > materia (made the game way too easy)
ffvii great graphics for its time BS, there were games before that time with better graphics
ffvii ...
but a PS3 is not a necessity, nor is a 360. if in game cross chat is all you want then go the cheaper route, get a 360 (dont buy all the extra bullsh*t for it) and wait until the PS3 drops.
i personally dont see sony dropping the price till spring at the earliest when they start breaking even because they are still selling at a loss. a company or person selling at a loss does not owe the consumer more price cuts. if your selling something at 50 dollars that currently cost you 100...
sh*t man, for you people who want to cheap out so bad. stfu and go buy a 360 or a wii. if you want a ps3 bad enough, $400 dollars is not that hard to come up with, save your effin money. unlike the 360 HDDs, memory cards, and wifi adapters; the PS3 is NOT overpriced.
as i said, i was just pointing out facts of ridiculous prices.
i only have a 20GB hard drive on my 360 and fortunately that all i really need since i only bought it for the JRPGs. another fact is that RPGs are the only genre really worth keeping end game saves, aside from a few other games.
but aside from all that; there is NO EXCUSE for microsoft charging what they charge for memory. no excuse what-so-ever.
even if it is my choice to keep end-game saves. you cant ho...
but it cant be dragon quest. that game belongs to enix (squareenix) so level 5 cant be announcing that. level 5 only has a hand in the development of that game, thats it, because SE hires them to. so only SE would be in the position to make any announcement about a future DQ game
that comment really shows more rip off taking place by microsoft, a 512MB memory card for 50 dollars. hell i can get a 8GB memory stick pro duo for less than that on wal-mart.com right now ($43.54 to be exact) that is basically 16 times the space for less. it can be used in PSPs, PS3s, PCs, and a wide array of other electronic devices. thats the point of the article and posts is that everyone is being ripped a new one by microsoft, especially in terms of adding memory and there is nothing spe...
in my collection of PS2 games i pretty much have all i want except for Mana Khemia 2
now im ready for PS3 JRPGs to start flooding the market. the couple of year wait sony makes us go through for the JRPGs is almost over, but its been that way with all the sony consoles so im used to it.
samus wins
i would personally rather see Rogue Galaxy 2 or an all new title
this is by far the very best JRPG on the 360
i really hope it comes to NA on PS3 but keep this in mind, NO PORTED OVER TALES GAME HAS COME TO THE US (unless you count the GBA Tales of Phantasia, which i dont) so i really dont have much confidence in this one coming
the fact that i should have the option to keep all my end game saves. i can fit a bunch of games on a PS2 mem card on ps2, or a game cube mem card. hell i could even fit 15 saves to a ps1 mem card.
soooo the question is what makes this gen so special that space as become an issue thats so hard to fix. when you can now get 1.5TB HDDs for $149.99 (well its not an issue with PS3 because i can just stick a laptop HDD in there), but why does a 120GB on 360 have to cost the same as 1.5...
Seagate HDDs are very good quality i have actually had 2 of mine since before the 360 launch, even bought 2 more about two years ago. i NEVER had any problems out of any of them.
im about to buy a 1.5TB HDD for only $149.99
WAIT, WHAT?! 1.5TB $149.99
thats right, check your local walmart guys. i actually just saw this yesterday.
besides 120GB at $149.99 or even $99.99 now-days, no matter how you try to justify it, is a complete rip off. i do...
i know the 360 is outselling the ps3 in terms of total sales. but i also know that they are selling at the same rate worldwide.
for example; if you take the number of 360's and PS3's sold, divide it by the about of years the consoles have been out, you will be left with two numbers only separated by tenths.
so in theory based on the averages, they would pretty much have equal sales if they came out at the same time.
i also know the wii and PS2 are kicking both of their @ss...
as a matter of fact, yes, i did read the article. thats how i know that the only games mentioned were these:
Metal Slimes (are from Dragon Quest)
Skies of Arcadia
Fire Emblem
Baten Kaitos
Phantasy Star Universe
Paper Mario
FF
Tales
Star Ocean 4
Blue Dragon
those were the only games mentioned in the article and the only one to have video footage was Skies of Arcadia.
all of those games are JRPGs man, every la...
LMAO
im not even going to ask where you went to school or what hood your from, your obviously very uneducated. i know 4 year olds who can leave better and more informative posts, than the garbage you posted.
i only replied because in reading your post, i laughed so hard my side hurt.
seriously.....
im not even giving this BS article a real comment
and about 98% of the people in this thread fell for a fanboy bait article. lol, your posts are so entertaining. especially the way people defend and plead the case of their chosen service and console. like they are expecting a medal for the way they fought, in the ever so serious "console war." lol, honestly its all really just sad.
regardless to what the vote was, what i said was simply state my opinion. that is the whole point of forums. im not being fanboy like, and trying to push my opinions on others. forums should not be used for that, that that would just be being a douchbag. so its not like i have anything against actual fans of the game (groupies excluded), everyone is entitle to their opinions and personal tastes :)
