Haitoku Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 (edited) I'd rather have no voice acting then in JRPGs sometimes... Since english voice acting isn't handled very well for most games. EDIT - Also, I don't think any PSone RPG had voice acting... Some had partial, but that's about it. Edited April 22, 2006 by Haitoku
Llyranor Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 What would be nice would be if they gave you to option to have the original Japanese VA. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

Haitoku Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 BTW, is Xenogears any good.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's only the best JRPG ever made... My opinion : Xenogears has so many flaws... Half the battles are so damn repetitive, exploration can be extremely tedious, there isn't much in the character customization department, menus suck, controls and camera angles suck... HOWEVER. The music is absolutely beautiful (same guy who composed the Chrono Trigger/Cross soundtrack). The characters are so well done and the story is really something incredible. If you can take mediocre gameplay in exchange for a well told story, you might like it...
karka Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 So my JRPG roadmap is: Chrono Cross -> DQVIII -> Xenogears -> Probably FFXII (I really like that new battle system)

They will keep me busy for a long time. I love to be open minded. Ok i added an SMT game to list. :cool: Edited April 22, 2006 by karka
Darque Posted April 22, 2006 Author Posted April 22, 2006 But was it any good? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Extremely
Haitoku Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 Ok i added an SMT game to list. cool.gif Wonderful. I would suggest SMT: Nocturne, Persona 2 or you could wait for the Holidays when SMT : Devil Summoner gets released over here.
Dark_Raven Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 I just got done reinstalling Morrowind with the Tribunal and Bloodmoon add ons. I will be up late at night, tonight, playing this. I can't find my game guide?? I have to do this the hard way now. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Calax Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 Xenogears is one of those games like final fantasy seven. It's either a paragon of rpging, or it's only good for one or two reasons. I side on the "paragon" teams Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Shryke Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 random friend of my flatmate's gave me dungeon siege, so i've been trying that out when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
Haitoku Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 I've heard Xenogears is kinda... dull. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They are wrong. It's a lot of reading but I wouldn't call anything about that dull.
