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.

Amen.

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.

Damn I want Shen Mue 2...was it any good?

I haven't played it yet :embarass:

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.

the only game i cant wait for is mgs snake eater, ok its not a rpg, but i cant wait any more!

X.x I sooo need a next gen game system...I'm going on withdraw with not being able to play any new games because I've played all the ones I'm intrested on and can get my hands on for the PS, DC, NES, SNES, and Genisis @.@

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.

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.

FF VI: 3D Edition.

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

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.

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