Final Fantasy XIII[views:68365][posts:218]___________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 10:32am - arktouros ""] i do have Chrono Cross which i've only played an hour of. i plan on beating it sometime in the far future |
| _________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 10:34am - Martins ""] If I had to pick a personal favorite RPG, it would be tied between Chrono Cross and FFX. But I'm gay and don't know what I'm talking about. Chrono Cross has my favorite OST of all time, though. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 10:35am - arktouros ""] Martins said:Look, Chrono Trigger was a great game but I seriously don't get how people think it was THE BEST RPG. There are other games that are at least equal to it. But maybe I'm biased because I've easily beaten somewhere between 5-10 times, know all about how it's connected to Chrono Cross/alternate timelines/dimensions and am pretty sick of it lawl. IMO. i can't stomach most JRPGs. CT is just one of those games man... [queue Phillip Anselmo] |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 10:36am - arilliusbm ""] Steve? Damn. Don't be harsh on him. He means well. J/k 9 was made to feel like the old ones. Good game, but not as good. I can let you borrow my ff9 game and strategy guide (!) if you want. Martins, CT is one of the top 5 RPGs of all time. Maybe you don't like because you were a little kid when it came out, and CC was out when you were more mentally mature. Only saying this because most younger people don't understand or appreciate the signifigance of games released at a time when they weren't an active video gamer. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 10:48am - arilliusbm ""] Actually, if you can get my Zelda game back from DYA, you can borrow any PS1 rpg you want. Xenogears, vagrant story, front mission 3, wild arms, Legend of the dragoon, etc. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 10:52am - arktouros ""] haha, thanks man but i have to make my way through VII first. right now i'm running through MGS3 on Extreme and it's a pain in the ASS. you're right about CT though. I was 10 at the time and that game was my entire fucking world for 2 months, easily still goes on my top 5 list. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 10:53am - arktouros ""] link's awakening? you didn't get that shit back already? |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 10:57am - arilliusbm ""] nope. |

I still think it's a great game, don't get me wrong. Just not #1. it would be #3,4, or 5 in that top 5 list for me. |

| ____________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 11:05am - arilliusbm ""] Then after 2 years of trolling eachother, we finally agree on something. Best Zelda game ever. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 11:09am - Martins ""] I'm pretty sure we always agreed on that. Game rules. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 11:11am - arilliusbm ""] You used to say N64's games were better. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 8,2010 12:05pm - mutis ""] I was so pissed when I heard this. Shit move on their part. I've been waiting for a third sequel for a fucking decade. Regarding Parasite Eve of course. FF is weak, and has been since they started making them on 32+ bit systems. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 12:13pm - arilliusbm ""] Mutis knows wassup. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 12:40pm - Martins ""] arilliusbm said:You used to say N64's games were better. Incorrect. I started a thread talking about how I was getting railed by my friends for not liking the 3D Zeldas. Plus, I've never owned or played an N64. |

| _________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 12:49pm - Martins ""] I guess I get to stay, then. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 12:54pm - arilliusbm ""] DYA needs to get that game back to me asap. I think he's holding it hostage because he thinks I stole his guitar. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 12:55pm - arilliusbm ""] What happened to the old days? You could snap a finger and DYA would post. Now it's like trying to contact the_reverend during gay pride week. he's out and about. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 5:58pm - arilliusbm ""] Bump for dya giving me Zelda back |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 10:40pm - xanonymousx ""] i really wish i bought crono cross at walmart in the bargain bin for $10 years ago |
| _________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 10:41pm - Martins ""] pretty cheap anyway and i would bet that it will be on the PSN sooner or later |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 10:45pm - blessed offal ""] im pretty sure ocarina of time kills all final fantasy games. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 11:00pm - xanonymousx ""] i havent had the time to play ps3 in forever only use it for netflix now it seems. maybe a quick zen pinball demo game |
| _________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 11:03pm - Martins ""] Me neither. I leave mine at home. Had spring break last week. Had planned to play either Bayonetta or the two Assassin's Creed II DLCs but ended up buying Grandia (an old Dreamcast/PS1 RPG) on the PSN and playing that all week. Didn't beat it before the end of break so now I'm left hanging. GREAT game though. Battle system reminds me of Tales of Phantasia for SNES or the original Star Ocean for SNES. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 11:11pm - kessaris ""] how come they don't make FF games like 4 or 7 anymore? |
| _________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 11:14pm - Martins ""] X > VI > VII > XII > V > IV > VIII Haven't played I, II, III, or IX |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 11:46pm - i_am_not_me ""] Martins said:Tales of Symphonia for SNES ....do you mean Tales of Phantasia? |
| ________________________________ [Mar 9,2010 9:09am - Martins ""] Oops, yes. I'm pretty sure there is a Tales of Symphonia game, though. Never played it. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 9,2010 9:16am - arilliusbm ""] Tales of Phantasia was meh. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 9,2010 9:21am - Martins ""] The battle system ruled. I don't remember anything about the story. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 9,2010 9:25am - arilliusbm ""] I played the GBA one. Not a huge fan. Battle system was dumb when you got powerful. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 9,2010 9:26am - arilliusbm ""] I think Lufia II is one of the most underrated RPGs ever. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 9,2010 9:30am - arktouros ""] "FFXIII is ambitious and daring, not to mention gorgeous and energetic. It approaches the concept of "role-playing games" with ruthless pragmatism, lopping off hunks of RPG tradition like a doctor operating on a terminally gangrenous patient. Traditional towns are too difficult to manage in light of the demands of current technology and art design? Whack -- they're gone. Free-roaming exploration too difficult to implement properly? Chop -- there goes the nonlinearity. Micromanaging turn-based combat bogs down the pacing of battles? Snip -- let the AI handle it." http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3178230 they gave it an A- but the linearity and strictly story,combat,story,combat gamestyle really turns me off. i'll buy it when it's $10. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 9,2010 9:31am - arktouros ""] i'd be getting God of War III + Heavy Rain if I had a PS3 anyway |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 9,2010 9:37am - arilliusbm ""] Xenogrars had one of the best battle systems, stories, and characters. It's a shame they ran out of budget/time/etc. The last part of the game was so rushed. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 9,2010 9:44am - Martins ""] arilliusbm said:I think Lufia II is one of the most underrated RPGs ever. The Lufia games in general are pretty good. They're remaking of them for DS with a new name. Either that or it's a sequel. I forget. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 9,2010 9:45am - arilliusbm ""] This conversation just carried over to the coffee break room at work and some prick just told me to "join the 2000s" and stop playing old games. Wanted to accidentally spill my coffee all over his face.. fucking prick. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 9,2010 9:46am - Martins ""] Except that he's right. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 9,2010 9:51am - arktouros ""] i'm a fan of video games. MUDs or hi-def. if it's above the 90% percentile, i want to play it. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 9,2010 9:51am - arilliusbm ""] I'm alive and well in the 2000s. It was video games and metal that died this decade. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 9,2010 9:53am - arktouros ""] ITT: aril calls for reformation |
| ________________________________ [Mar 9,2010 9:53am - Martins ""] start a militia about it |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 9,2010 9:55am - arilliusbm ""] Video game and metal militia?already started one. we go to metal shows armed with blasters and virtual boys. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 9,2010 9:59am - Martins ""] Dungeons and Fagrons |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 9,2010 10:05am - arilliusbm ""] Another underrated rpg, at least for you snes fags: phantasy star 4 for genesis |
| _________________________________ [Mar 9,2010 10:05am - reimroc ""] I'm in the middle of beating FFI and FFII for the gba. Again out of all the FFs I've played XI is by far the best with VI and VII a close tied second and IV a close third. VIII can lick my sweaty grundle. |
