Re: Just got Tales of Symphonia 2. A rant.

I don't much like Bosch either, but it's not like he's bad. He's been known as a poor actor ever since his Power Ranger days. He just sounds very samey most of the time. Even when the characters look and act very different. Hell, Emil was the first time I've seen him try to change his voice, and it...

Re: Just got Tales of Symphonia 2. A rant.

Rogue Galaxy on the less powerful PS2 looks better. Hmm... been a while since I've played that. It came out at least a year after Symphonia though. No More Heroes came out a year before Vesperia. The reason the non-unions aren't well known is because their names can't be published along with non-un...

Re: Just got Tales of Symphonia 2. A rant.

brightshield, sorry to hear you were in the hospital. I hope you feel better soon. Thanks, I feel better now. It's true that it was a fanservice game and, yes, a cash-in in that sense. However, Namco Bandai was far from "shameless" about it. In fact, they were incredibly upfront about it....

Re: Just got Tales of Symphonia 2. A rant.

Not really, especially considering Wind Waker came out before it with what's usually considered to be better cel shading. Yeah, but it's the only game on the system with superior cell shading. While there are Wii games with superior cell shading to Vesperia(and the Wii is a weaker system graphicall...

Re: Just got Tales of Symphonia 2. A rant.

Sorry for my absence, I was in the hospital. I'm still not feeling so well, so I'll continue this convo when I'm better. I have been replaying Vesperia as well, so it'll be fresh in my mind for the debate. Still, I don't even mind if someone thinks that it's better than Symphonia. My main point was ...

Re: Favorite anime

The reason why I'd say that Hunter x Hunter is the best, is because it's infinitely better written than 99% of anime on the market. There's literally no plot protection of any kind. The main character actually loses all of his major fights for the first two arcs. He beats a few of the weaker charact...

Re: Just got Tales of Symphonia 2. A rant.

Graphics: Vesperia: 7.5 / Symphonia: 8.0 Vesperia gets points deducted for being "drab" with "washed out" FMVs. Symphonia is called amazing with a minor deduction for the hideous overworld. This is one of the time-dependent factors I'm talking about. I agree. Graphics will alway...

Re: Just got Tales of Symphonia 2. A rant.

And that's an opinion. I didn't personally think any of them were better than Vesperia, but Lost Odyssey sold a ton of copies worldwide for a JRPG (excluding the standardly less than stellar Japanese performance due to general XBox360 disdain over there). Blue Dragon was also quite popular. They ma...

A new 2d sonic could be great. I've always been a bigger fan of Mario though.

Re: Dragon Quest VI appears

I'm happy that this game is getting a remake, as it's a very good game. Not quite on par with 8 or 5, but it's about as good as 7.

Re: Just got Tales of Symphonia 2. A rant.

Neither game is on a console devoid of worthwhile RPGs. I disagree completely with the bold part. I know you mentioned you felt the XBox360 was RPG-starved, but it's really not considering it has Eternal Sonata, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, These were the only JRPGs to come out before Vesperia on the...

For me it would be these.

1. Hunter x Hunter
2. Yu Yu Hakusho
3. Rurouni Kenshin
4. Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple
5. Gungrave

Re: Just got Tales of Symphonia 2. A rant.

It only got notably better scores in North America, and really only because it was a halfway decent RPG for an RPG-starved console. I don't buy this excuse. The same can be said of Destiny and Vesperia, but Symphonia still out scored and out sold both of them. If you converse with the Tales communi...

Re: Just got Tales of Symphonia 2. A rant.

I agree about the Luke thing Yeah, he's the worst MC in the series. How about Squall? His development is at least twice as bad. Emil didn't get on my nerves like Luke did. I found Emil likeable. I seriously think this is stupid. I like Emil, can you please get over it? So apparently you don't have ...

So, I'm looking to get a new game pretty soon. Could you give me reasons why I should get ToS. This is a genuine question... I've heard both good and bad things about it, both from people whose taste I trust. I'll tell you same thing I told my friends a few days ago. The story is great, and it beco...

Re: Just got Tales of Symphonia 2. A rant.

Hmm... I forgot about this topic. You actually liked ToS2 more than 1 Dark Fairy? I'm shocked. ToS is universally considered to be a vastly superior game(and is probably my favorite RPG ever). What surprised me the most is that you liked the cast more. Most of the new characters were pretty blah, an...

Eternal Sonata. Ungh. I have NEVER turned a game off and walked away without finishing it until this POS. I think I played about half an hour before I was like, "-Fatal Hopper- this -Dragon Diamond-, I'm going outside." (It was winter. And I HATE being cold.) Sadly I wasn't as smart as yo...
