Thankfully the Disciplines of the Hand and the Disciplines of the Land have mostly just had more abilities added in to reflect the higher level cap. And even then it would definitely hurt the friendship that had been built up and it might just take years to rebuild it (and yes, I'm one of those who feels that if you can't view the person you're in a romantic relationship with as a friend you're doing it wrong). It's also not a issue in every region to the same degree in my experience. Maybe even more with the degree of overlap the series has seen and the PS5 still isn't out. We moved to playing AFTER midnight - it was the only option. I really do, esp. If I've got your tastes properly nailed down you might just be finding a new favorite SRPG with it, and it's only 20-odd years old. I played on PS4 pro, and aside from the texture loading issue/pop-in I had zero technical issues. Combat definitely becomes far more engaging than in the original. This gen I have a nice PC and a ps5 which covers all bases. Now, I need to finish getting ready to take off. Now, as for FFVIIR.....aside from the fact that I'm still a long ways from the ending of it, I have yet to have any texture loading issues. In fact, I'm fairly certain that I'm in the minority as I'm a fan of both (as well as Dragon Quest, Breath of Fire, Star Ocean, Xenosaga, Shadow Hearts, Kingdom Hearts, and really most JRPGs for that matter). I agree about The Last Hope. Unfortunately this means that the list of games you'd enjoy, especially with your secondary requirements, is very limited, although going by those standards then yes, the Xbox 360 got more exclusives and timed exclusives than the PS3, however most of the best ones from those exclusives became timed exclusives and ported to other platforms (although I will admit that a couple of them didn't get ported until the Switch, possibly because of the difficulty involved in reworking the game code so it would work on the PS3's architecture). The good news is that the amount is static and not dictated by OS functions as we stated in our original post, making it a lot easier for developers to work with. Grandia III was pretty much carried by the combat for me. My biggest gripe with this game is the removal of of a second player. Also, the expansion classes introduced in Heavensward and after mostly start at a minimum of level 30 (Blue Mage, which is labeled a Limited Job follows special rules, and starts at level 1), although most of them get some very interesting special mechanics to them. And don't forget that the D.Bison has the single nastiest melee attack for any Zoid of its size range, actually capable of tearing through unblemished armor on many of the heavily armored Zoids in a single attack (though being that close is a very bad idea for a D.Bison normally), and more than capable of effectively one hitting most Zoids around its size or smaller, which is why Command Wolves never go after one solo unless it is already damaged and its mobility is hindered (that tail gun is an appreciable threat to a Command Wolf, if the shots hit), or they are kitted out for long-range direct fire (Command Wolves are equally suited for close-in high speed harassment or long range direct fire, they even have a couple of sniper rifle options). I'm very curious to hear what Mistwalker would have done without that support from Microsoft. Truly full on action-combat systems are certainly rare - and again, not in and off itself objectively "better". I'm also not entirely sure why everyone expected this to be a faithful 1:1 remake. Small warning though, FFXIV is very heavily focused on PvE for the vast majority of the game. There was a human quality about it, that I deeply appreciate. In fact, that last is another notable improvement. He was producer, and main creative force, behind Final Fantasy I through X, Chrono Trigger (which had the same major talents as Blue Dragon), and a smattering of Square's other major hits on the NES, SNES, and PS-X. Now, Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland and Atelier Totori: The Adventuer of Arland are both rather questionable, as they are from the time that the Atelier series drifted away from being heavy in RPG mechanics, but they were originally exclusive to PS3 and PS Vita (they have since been ported to the Switch, along with the third game in the Arland Trilogy). Many games have parts of their level desgined for no other purpose than to mask loading times. The N64 and PSX were strong competitors. I'm surprised to hear you seem to have no texture loading issues. They invited anyone who happened to stumble on their outdated Avalanche server to wreak some real havoc and harm. That art form is pretty much unchanged. PErsona 5 does, in a good way of course (for the most part), but DeS and VS did not - for good reason. This, of course, all stems from the fact that the West's long history of looney toons and outlandish cartoons has built up entrenched disrespect toward any sort of animated work, no matter how mature or artistic it may be. ^^. I do not think that I know of any jRPG series that is doing something similar, like building this vast interconnected world over so many games, accross so many platforms and generations. I still sit up straight if I see a jRPG with even a basic character creator for instance. I mean, in the original it didn't really matter how you boosted Angela's stats, she was never going to be a melee combatant while a Magician, and only get marginally better in her higher Tier classes. It works pretty well on Vita though. Anyways you say, is pretty true. This is the single biggest reason why you don't see a single exclusive JRPG for the Xbox One. It's definitely not, if other parts of the game will be expanded upon (and in some instances padded), like Midgard. Graphics matter alot to me, but it is NOT about photorealism at all. The magic is in what lies beyond and the finer details. ^^ It was such an exhaustive list ... Yeah, Eternal Sonata did for sure make it to PS3. Also, when they did the PS Vita remakes (yes, they are remakes, not ports) the first one got a massive overhaul, and now all of the characters have distinct personalities, even Neptunia despite her amnesia in the beginning, although they dropped most of how it made fun of the gaming industry in the process. Having had only textboxes (that again would have killed the game's incredible momentum und mostly tight pacing), it would have made for a different, vastly inferior experience. Also, if you are steamrolling the enemies in an area in Grandia I the boss of that area (if it has one) will barely be a challenge. ANyways, meanwhile I am playing Vagrant Story on my Vita and I wonder: Why can my PS4 not play even PSX games? I never heard of "Is This a Zombie?" Voice Acting was not entirely new at this point, but to me, I would argue, it kinda was at least at that scale and in this quality. Now for things that threw me a little off. The Witch an the Hundred Knight is an Action-RPG that I am willing to agree is definitely a lesser title, not quite 'shuffleware', but a long ways from being true AAA material (it is a lot of fun though, and it did get a half-remaster half-remake port to PS4). And online dating isn't worth the time or money for me. given the fact, that they were in the horrible habit of not only ditchting the worlds they had created, but also the engine and development tools that came with it, mor or less starting from scratch. So about FFVIIR, the big upside here is the use of Unreal Engine. Considering they had roughly 2 dozen games on that platform, and every other major developer had several games with voiceovers it wasn't that surprising. To be a parody it would have to pick a specific game, or /maybe/ genre, though that would be iffy to pull off, to be poking fun at. I do enjoy the occasional shonen, for instance I watch Kimetsu no Yaiba, FMA, Hunter X Hunter and definitely Haikyu! That game also included the original Game Boy Seiken Densetsu (Final Fantasy Adventure in North America or Mystic Quest in Europe) and Seiken Densetsu 2, better known in the West as Secret of Mana on Super NES. Eagle Flight: PC, PS4. Also, I have nothing against someone who marries their high school sweetheart. In fact, all of the main cast was just flawless to me, particularly Tifa, Aerith and Jessie. In addition that truck I had to go and fetch didn't have an arm rest for my right arm and my right shoulder is killing me now. Laptops are tricky. I can definitely say that i never played the enhanced verison, that much is certain. Or, at least here in the States and Japan that's how it was. I could hardly tell them apart, their is no distinct visual language to them, that speaks to their personality, not that I could tell, the colors for the game are all over the place. As for Operation Darkness, you must be definitely thinking about a different game. Still, the last couple of months or maybe even years have given me pause. Seemed like a real down-to-earth dude, just like Miyamoto. I alway wondered why it was not named Episode 1 or something like that. The reserved RAM allocation there is set in stone, and is unlikely to change. Disc Jam: Switch, PC/PC, PS4. Don't get me wrong, if you've level 50 for one of the Tank jobs (Paladin or Warrior), and then do the quest to either unlike the other base one or one of the expansion ones (Dark Knight and Gunbreaker), you'll actually have access to all of the Role Abilities (Rampart, Low Blow, Provoke, Interject, Reprisal, Arm's Length, and Shirk, learned at levels 8, 12, 15, 18, 22, 32, and 48 respectively). It's cheaper to do the reimanging part, as you can rely on established characters, plot points and most importantly marketing nostalgia. Hell, even users with SSD report them, just with faster pop-in times. Hello! That's also why he 'retired'. While cutscenes where you don't have any control can be kind of a drag, you only need to view them once if you're worried about pacing. I would think, that the PS3 launched at a time, when Japanese consumers were moving away from consoles for abit, so the situation was rough no matter how you looked at it. It probably helps though, to watch a youtube video about the characters of Kratos. since I wanted to love quite a few of these games. I enjoy Super Mario Bros. 3 cause I could be in control of the character, I could choose to beat the level as fast or slow as I want, take my time with what I do. ^^. I can't say I really felt they did anything that Symphonia had not also delivered on after a fashion. That is a degree of pathetic that makes me question the average degree of intelligence amongst humans, then again there are many things that make me question that. Who is to say that the PS5 will dominate next-gen? You get distracted by the voiceovers? But there is no amount of WKCs or games with a comparable ambition, that can make up for that, and WKCs was hardly the least ambitious PS3 jRPG. The last is hoping the Priest of Light can give her some advice on how to awaken her latent magic in an effort to both free herself from her past and honor her heritage (yeah, Angela's motivations go all over the place, for the entire game). Oh, most of the games you dislike on PS3 were far better RPGs for Japan than some of what the 360 got, but many of them would've been multi-platform (as the 360 is what really got that going) if Microsoft hadn't been interfering with development. It feels like a breath off fresh air almost in that regard. Final Sword Returns To The Japanese Switch eShop As A Def... Video: 13 Great Wii U Games Still Not on Switch. The darker themes don't hit that hard, most of the time, it's more of a comedy that doesn't shy away from the fact that life isn't all rainbows and sunshine but it doesn't necessarily suck that much, even for a zombie. I'm very familiar with the original, and from what I've seen in the demo I like 99% of the changes. If you strip Persona of it's style, like the amazing art direction for Persona/Demons, the visual theme, the gorgeous menus and scene transitions, the music by Shoji Meguro, the strong characterization and writing in that regard (though not all dialogues are gold of course), you are left with a pretty mediocre run of the mill jRPG. It's pretty sad honestly, I mean, I was really in the mood to jump right into the next Square remake for sure, like itching for it and I do think Square hoped people would move straight from FFVIIR to Traisl. However, a big area of difference between Sony and Microsoft's approaches to OS allocation could come in their future plans for the reserved RAM. Re:Birth uses almost the exact same gameplay mechanics as Victory, with only a few minor tweaks, and the setting itself is heavily modified to better fit with how it is in the later titles (only the original had them as floating continents) with the story being even more heavily modified to focus instead on telling a story that just happens to make fun of the game industry along the way (instead of a massive series of jokes about the game industry that if you do the right things in the right order might also tell a story, which is what the original did). Of course, as I don't hit each volumes level cap until around the 45-48 hour mark I can hardly call most of those extra hours wasted, as there is a notable jump in the levels of the areas you go to when you progress to the next volume. Replaying it now, it really brings into focus just how much of gem it was, ahead of it's time in so many ways. If you look at diagonals and adquate view distance on an average 4K set, you will find that in practive, that the actual different to a small 1080p TV is not that pronounced even on native 4K content. PSN limits what you can do, e. g. in terms of automatic save-game backups, when your account is not "primary". Each games runs the risk of being drowned out out within days of it's release. Still, it's fascination stuff that at least back then was pretty unthinkable in our sanitized TV landscape, that seemed actively designed to make people complacent. They release a couple of dozens of old PS2 games - and sell them to you again, with 00000 legacy support for old cusomters, while also leaving literally 1000s of classic games in the dust. Just going on a bunch of standalone dates is fairly meaningless to me. That said, the music in Trials was pretty darn sweet. "More" of it is not necessarily a good thing in my book. Now, Sakaguchi has been a small fish for long enough that he wouldn't be able to cause such an effect, though the older companies, and those whose workers who have been in the industry for a good while, would still pay heed, they just wouldn't follow his lead. Heck, imagine taking the original Kingdom Hearts, but use the game engine from FFVIIR for EVERYTHING. But I DO NEED to be presented as excited as something as TMS#FE or Peronsa 5, even Lost Odyssey, or preferably Resonance of Fate, That is still my favourite turn-based system fo all time, if go by both criteria, engagement and presentation - just as a sidenote. Now back to trying to get far enough into my NG+ run of Trials to collect some ???? I can manage to get it with some practice, but not often enough for it to be useful against an unfamiliar enemy. It feels like a battle from the early days of infantry combat. Given how much of an effort the 1st game obviously took .. it's going to be a while. That is about as far from promising a 1:1 experience with the original as you can get without giving us a full plot outline to give away everything. Hmmmmm.......so you're old enough to remember the advent of voiceovers in console games? It's like $10 during the current Golden Week sale on PSN. Ahhhh......that's the type of SRPG you prefer. Tech was there, but not at the kind of price Sony was look for! If the former, it was WKCI, if the later it was WKCII, and if your friend finished WKCI he is deserving of a medal, as the controls were so bad it was nearly unplayable and many people who pride themselves on beating challenging games actually gave up on it as being absolutely impossible to get through the final areas because of the problems. A single guy, who for some reason ends up with multiple unrelated girls living with him, although in this one he's only interested in one of them. You do have one thing slightly off though, DQXI has actually changed up the combat system from DQIX (since DQX never came state-side I'm not familiar with it). I even got the OST, because I totally dug the Nocturnes interpretation most of all. As for the whole problem of personal skill ceiling. I wonder if it will be different for Grandia. for the new generation, I expect dramatic gains here. Like the animation, color grading, voice acting, music (shout out to Kevin Penkin who did the music on MiA), animation, sound design, and so on and so forth. Instead of trying to incorporate all of that the SRPG that was Zoids Assault had you utilize the Zoids as if they were over-sized single weapon tanks. The real question though, is if it does have that degree of backwards compatibility for discs, will it also offer it for software bought from the Playstation Store, namely PS1 and PS2 Classics on the PS3/PSP/PS Vita? I agree about Apple, but the funny part is, being reasonably priced would hurt them, I think. Everything on Xbox is on pc … In respects to what kind of game the original was I feel that Re:Birth 1 was a let down, but in respect to it being a solid game in its own right I feel that Re:Birth 1 was a massive improvement. Oyamada: It goes without saying that I would like to make a sequel, but at the same time I would also like to make it so people can continue playing the series past titles such as Legend of Mana. It was quite seriously when Sakaguchi very publicly cut ties that it truly faltered, and then ended up failing, in Japan. I always say, that what FFVII was to many of my friends, Incubation was to me (and also MGS1) - the kind of formative experience, you get as a kid I loved tactical games, with a strong puzzle'esque nature and punishing difficulty ever since, I also always loved Scifi more than Fantasy. There is just no comparing even the character design from purely a visual standpoint between these series. Microsoft has already showcased Xbox One's abilities in this regard, but our sources say that PlayStation 4 is also capable of similar feats, perhaps in a manner more closely resembling that of PS Vita - the game is paused, apps are switched over seamlessly and, once exited, gameplay continues without having to restart the code. As for the sequelSS, there were two after all, I think you are leaving out an important part of the story here: the aforementioned Sakaguchi. I would love to be wrong actually, but as far as cultural exports go, I feel Japan is mostly a rough terrain. There are a lot of people who haven't been exposed yet, and if they aren't careful about how they try to get things moving again to control the flow of exposure it's just going to create another wave that will put the hospitals in danger of being overwhelmed, and another round of lockdowns. Still, the Remastered plays really smoothly. I more tolerated than enjoyed! Of course, one of the other things that seriously hurt the 360 was the Red Ring of Death, as that 53.something% failure rate effectively meant that most people who bought an earlier model 360 had to buy two of them so they could keep playing their games while the first went in for repairs. Seriously, they basically made it that gear almost matters more than anything else, and the gear you can craft is insanely over-powered in comparison to the original launch of the base game. This baffles me to this day. The Xbox is really only strong in the US (well, NTSC region in general) and Europe, and even in Europe the market penetration for the Xbox One, relative to when it released, isn't very strong. Somewhere I still have that Artbook that came with the preorder or whatever, had to get it second hand but toally worth it. Trump is really doing his utmost to **** all of this up. It won't be perfect, but a fun ride nontheless. Now, this isn't an inherent problem with me, so long as they are priced reasonably, especially for their quality. @Razmoudah The way you put and the way I remember it, it ought to have been WKCI then Yeah, bittersweet is a good fit for describing the ending and really most of the show. It's not like active parrying or doging was a big deal in FFVIIR. See more ideas about graphic card, system requirements, xbox one games. Not every game needs set the same mood as FFVII, but alas, most jRPGs don't anyways, so it IS deeply appreciated. Worth getting into 14 for those scenarios? It's only the fact that unless the game repels me I am determined to get a minimum of 10 hours in before making a final call on it that I really saw enough of it to see it diverging off into its own path.
