Console Rpgs
 
Once again, we have lots of good console rpgs on the horizon. Which ones are you looking forward too?

The other day I saw the preview for Dragon Warrior VIII that came with the recently rereleased Dragon Warrior V in japan, and I was blown away. The graphics look absolutely awesome! Best cel-shading I have ever seen. If the game will take me 80 hours to complete like Dragion Warrior VII did, I will be in heaven.

I am also eagerly awaiting Tales of Symphonia. Hopefully this time they leave in the original japanese intro. After hearing "Flying" by Garnet Crow when I downloaded the intro for the Japanese verison of Tales of Eternia, they quickly became my favorite japanese band. I was dissapointed when Namco replaced the opening with a crappy orchestrated song.

Ys VI. I imported it when it first came out in Japan, and even though I barely understand any of it, the game has awesome graphics, music, and is hella fun to play. I can't wait for the english version.

Xenosaga Episode 2 is the only thing I'm looking forward to. Games have been garbage as of late.

Sorry, but I just have trouble getting excited about games anymore. They've all been pretty crappy lately, they only one I can really praise is Shen Mue.

Shenmue II? I had to flip out. The game is totally sweet. It may not be as good as the first one, but it's definitely close.

There should be a Good Will for gamers. Go to a store, get a used X Box, GC, PS2...

A fellowship of nerds...helping each other find their next fix...

Heh, like Rhino's but cheaper. (woulda said EB, but the EB here stinks) I can't afford a PS2 since everyone's saying something alone the lines of 'We got you a Playstation, you can get your own damn PS2.' heh @.@ such is the life of someone as lifeless as myself.

That is an interesting statement. While Xenosaga had a good plot, its gameply mechanics left a lot to be desired, and the first 10 hours of the game were really dull and aimless. I almost stopped playing. I'm glad I finished it, but for some reason the second game isn't very high on my list. Maybe I would rather have it in anime form than a game.

I like playing RPG's for the story. With Xenosaga, I got more story than game. The game played out like a movie, which I liked a lot. If I can have more story and less game, hell, give it to me.

Barkworm 03-29-2004 12:36 PM

I'm looking forward to Final Fantasy XII, Dragon Quest VIII, another Dark Cloud game and Tales of Symphonia.

Oh, and I also want Star Ocean III: Til the End of Time and Suikoden IV to come out.

MW8979 03-29-2004 02:34 PM

FF VI: 3D Edition.

Dr. Doom 03-29-2004 03:51 PM

-=Ears perk=- Aroo? 3D edition?

cqb101 03-29-2004 07:38 PM

Whatever the next GC Zelda game is.

I am playing through Star Ocean II right now. It took me three starts to finally get into it, but now I'm loving it. I am so happy that we are getting the directors cut of Star Ocean III.

bufo 03-30-2004 04:22 AM

Hehe I'm playing Star Ocean I on my SNES at the moment, I finally found a translated version :)

Starscream 03-30-2004 08:43 AM

Suikoden IV, though I desperately need to start playing Suikoden 3 since I;ve had it for over a year and have yet to play it. I'm waiting for Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2 to hit the 20 dollar mark before I snatch that one up. The first one was probably the most unexpected surprise I;ve ever gotten out of a video game.

Barkworm 04-03-2004 12:45 AM

I just saw the first pics of "Mario Story 2"
