Im an RPG fanatic, been playing them since Dragon Warrior 1. To tell you the truth, I played the demo to this game and fell so in love with the graphics that I bought the game. Its gorgeous. But the gameplay is really lame. I dont know why everyone is talking about this game like the ps3 needs it,, cause we dont need it on the console. Its just a plain ol boring game. Story sucks, and the gameplay is pretty much just like any Tales game, but worse.

there's a plethora of JRPG's you can play.

i'm playing FFIV & FFVII right now :D

heheh, but i agree, i'd love some PS3 ones. I've been wanting ES so i hope it makes it out ASAP. I guess single platform owners don't mind all the exclusive stuff they're adding in games for the wait. well worth it.

can't wait for Valkyria Chronicles and Disgaea.

...And I'm not talking about the cheesy GBA/DS ones. I'm talking about the ORIGINAL one! Make a sequel to that game with badass PS3 graphics and you have one hell of an RPG :)

I really enjoyed it on the Xbox 360 BUT I will clarify. The story sort of sucks and makes no sense. I didn't care because the battle system was very very fun and I felt rewarded for leveling. The art style is really nice too. Basically if you play RPGs because you like the game style you will like this but if you play them because they are books you click through avoid it.

the voice overs are pretty good, so you won't get annoyed.(Not like Enchanted Arms)

As you know the game is a mix of Action-based/Turn-based. when it's time for you to Attack, you can Attack with whatever you have, based on a "Time Gauge". Once that runs out your turn is over. very similar to Tales of Verspia but only one can attack at once.

The Story is where this game shines. You sorta go through the a Period in the life of "Frédéric Chopin", which the main story is about. You also learn about what was really happening during that time with illustration and real pictures in between.

As well as the Music for this game is top notch. Obviously "Chopin" being a composer you get a good sense on his style, through the game. The game is a little short though and since monsters roam around the MAP(ala FF12) it makes it easy to run pass, unless they are blocking a road. I beat it in 24 hrs.

As you know I'm a sucker for JRPGs with Good MUSIC and STORY. That's all it takes for me to at least finish a JRPG game. Regardless of the graphics. You'll also learn a little in this game as well. I think Frédéric Chopin lived during the Romanticicm period.

omg, get Folklore. The are style in that game is something out of a Tim Burton movie. I really wish their was more for this game but I really doubt their going to make another one. If your looking for an RPG, you owe it to yourself to pick it up.

I knew I'd get some responses favoring Folklore. RPG's really aren't my thing, but I loved the Folklore demos. I'll most likely buy Folklore, I just threw that first comment out there to get some feedback ;)

Walmart actually has Folklore for $30 and if you can find it, Target was having it on clearance for $15. Good time to pick it up. :)

Eternal Sonata got 8.3
Blue Dragon 7.9

Go with Folklore and read the IGN review first. :)

I recently bought Folklore and it's pretty good. Such an underrated gem. The storyline and storytelling will have you hooked to the game. It's well done and keeps you entertained. The gameplay is fun, especially using the sixaxis to capture the folk's ids. Capturing all the folks and releasing their karmas will keep you busy and there is tons of downloadable content for it.

Folklore is the game that actually make me purchase a PS3 (Cause there is no other that interest me at the time).

You will not be dissapointed, it's really fun capturing all the Folks and don't forget to download some extra Contents from the PS Store, it really makes a lasting impression. I really do hope they make a sequel, and maybe next time with more PS3 owners out there, it will be appreciated even more.

I didn't catch this on 360, and if they are throwing in more maps I think I may have to grab the PS3. I love it when they throw in bonus stuff. Like in Skies of Arcadia for the Game Cube.

this game is one of the biggest reasons I will never trust a review ever again, biggest waste of $60 ever.

robotnik - 504 days 22 hours ago

yep, its coming to Europe, just look it up in play.com, the problem is, that the 360 version costs 20€ and the ps3 will cost 55€... I think I will wait to March 2009 to buy it, if I ever buy it.
