Runefactory Oceans White Knight Chronicles 1&2 (played 1 before but 2 came with a remastered version for free it's a huge improvement) Atelier Meruru Dragons Dogma Sorcery (something I bought for the kids but was rather good).

Bombs and a LOT of rolling did the trick. Completely agree with the map thing, if there was real negative point, that was it. Never had any sound issues besides the Xbox being so loud I needed to turn the sound way up (not really the games fault that one). It was the act 1 boss that got me. Until I read the journal, one of those easy if you know how bosses impossible if you don't. Amazing ammount of variety in the game really puts Dragon Age 2 in its place. It's almost like having two games in one.

Anyone have any idea how long the game is ?

I always prefer to play in Japanese where possible. I can get by on the language side (miss-spent youth watching anime) but I can't read it beyond basic level. There has not been a lot of progress and that is both a good and a bad thing. While production values are generally not much better than the PS2 (outside of the big names), the core game play has altered very little either. I've really enjoyed the Runefactory series and the Atelier series. Both bring something unique.

Finally managed to track down a copy. Had to go to 5 different stores. Only just got back and I've got stuff to do so I don't think I'll be playing much before the weekend.

Most of the anime I can think of has already been done....

TW2 gets its 360 release this month. Those 2 million sales would have just been on the PC. EA does not in fact get $50 per copy sold. Inflation alone means that even if ME3 cost the same to make and market as ME2. It would still need to sell more to see the same result.

Anyone willing to take bets on the Witcher2 outselling it ?
-
Is that good enough financially, though? I'm genuinely asking. Because it could be a case of their costs needing more than those sales in order to break even or turn a profit. Only BioWare/EA know how much they spent to make ME3, so I guess we'll never know for sure. I'm stunned.Considering the effort EA went through to market the thing, that's awful.
-
A lot of the time it does. DA2 is a prime example of how they took a known character Hawke and railroaded him through the game to a fixed outcome. There were no major eventes that you could not "escape". The more Epic DA plot had a lot more fluidity because it was less focused on who the character was and more on what the character was.

Epic can distract you from all sorts of things. Takes a better writer to make it personal and not simply railroad you to fixed outcomes.

Eternal Sonata is critically praised, but it takes a while to get into. Once that happens, stellar game. Never tried Katherine though, didn't know if it was really an RPG, a dating sim, or what it was...so just didn't get it. Catherine ? The one with the sheep ? It's a puzzle game a bloody hard one at that with some social interaction mixed in.The hard bit is getting by the main character being some guy in a pair of boxers.... I'd really have rathered a choice there I don't want to look at some guy in boxers for 20 hours..
-
Eternal Sonata for the price it goes for now is a steal I had the 360 version and the PS3 adds some extra characters and some other stuff.It's a little repetative but that's probably because I don't like to run away from a fight. The premise is quite intereting too, and the music of course. Valkyria Chronicles while not strictly a JRPG is also a must have for a PS3 owner.

Suikoden with the possible exception of IV which was not that great and never really felt like a Suikoden game. Number V on the other hand was EPIC, just lacking in FF's production values. Final Fantasy , goes without saying really. Personal faves : V,VI,IX,X,XII,XIII-2. X is still one of the best games Iv'e ever played, a real emotional rollercoaster that no game has really come close to equaling. Persona/Shin Megami - Another series that is well worth a look. Horror RPGs are uncommon. More recently the Atelier series as long as you don't mind playing as a ditzy girl. The earlier games in the series too, these games are perfect for people who like to mess around and create just for fun. And the recent ones have endings in double figures. Going back some again. Wild Arms is another personal favourite of mine. It's a pretty unique blend of western and post apocalypse. Shadow Hearts - Can't say enough good things about this one, it's another "horror" themed game goes all the way back to Kudaulka on the PS. For something more "tactical" Turn based goodness in Fire Emblem. Although the handhelds versions are probably "better" The GC Wii versions have some really good characters and the cinematics bring them to life in a way that the handhelds never really could. I could probably fill pages, but that should be enough for now.

I already ordered something else from Amazon and I'll download Arc the Lad 1&2 later. No reason to get ME3 again until this "clarification" is added.
