So... Very? Or not?
How popular is ranch dressing in Japan?

ethelred said:Actually, the new White Knight Story is basically killing off my interest. It's that one word that does it -- "MMOlike." I don't enjoy MMOs. Why would I enjoy something like MMOs? If I wanted to play an MMO, I would, but they're not at all fun.

Not really much to say. I'm hoping the multiplayer mode actually means a real coop campaign style mode and not just lame challenge or VS modes. Still hoping for a US release for the Wii version.
There is this one mission with Nobunaga where he faces off against Nagamasa Azai and Oichi. Nobunaga tends to laugh often throughout his story mode and for some odd reason him, Azai, and Oichi are just laughing like crazy for parts of the battle. I had no idea what the hell was going on.

WORLDWIDEWII said:i am happy until i see a new character
TreIII said:That would be due primarily to the fact that:
a) For Oichi, Nobunaga is her big brother. Obviously, in the BASARA-verse, when you come from the same family that produced a megalomaniac, demonic-powered conqueror like Nobunaga, obviously you gotta have some things wrong with you too. Oichi also doesn't like her brother all that much either. But nevertheless, it may be all she can do but to give into the same type of madness that Nobunaga has, it least, in the thick of battle...
b) For Nagamasa, he's so obsessed with the idea of enforcing his ideals of justice, that he's probably a bit kooky too. Kill Oichi, and you'll basically have a "straw that broke the camel's back" type of moment, and he'll just get all the more insane.

Dear God. The Japanese are like anti-humans or something. The opposite of lifeforms.
sp0rsk said:So people will buy it?
PepsimanVsJoe said:Ah that makes sense. I was thinking of Sengoku Musou and remembered Oichi as mostly just depressed and whiny, Nobunaga more evil than crazy, and Azai...well he was just a ponce. Then I remembered in Basara Hideyoshi is a Gorilla of a man, Kenshin Uesugi is almost as cute as girlfriend, and well everything is either upside down or sideways.
Well that's not surprising since WKC seems to be building upon the gameplay from RG and FFXII, so this probably has MMO-styled missions just like those games. I have to admit though I was kinda underwhelmed when I figured that out, I thought after seeing the first video that the circle was more than your recharge bar redone to let you time your combos.Aeana said:Didn't you like FF12? People were throwing around "MMO-like" about that for a while, and still do (though it's not something I agree with at all).
Kusagari said:People actually LIKE Lloyd? I assumed everyone hated him.
TreIII said:Hence, the "BASARA" part of the title.
BASARA, in of it self, can just be translated as relating to "bizarre, craziness, over-the-top". Such a thing is only fitting for what the game series represents.

Yeah I see what you mean, FFXII was still for all incentive purposes a single player game, while the plot wasn't the best part of the game I still found it more entertaining than anything Level 5 has written. WKC doesn't seem to have an overworld to explore either, it's just a map I believe, and when you select a mission I guess you just click on the right location to complete the mission.ethelred said:FFXII is kind of a special case, though. I expected to not like the gameplay -- based on the frequent usage of the word MMOlike (which, I agree, was a very poor descriptor) and based on what I experienced in the unfinished demos that were put together. I ended up liking the final product, when I think all the different elements came together very well... but I have to admit that I'm not sure if I would've tried it if it hadn't been Final Fantasy and/or a Matsuno game.
Comparisons to MMOs (especially given the heavy online element of WKS, and the fact that it seems like they're incorporating a lot of stuff from their canned MMO True Fantasy Live Online) still get me a bit wary, though.

*still bitter*
- Story development is flat and may be unsatisfying to some.
I could've told you that in May.TheChaos said:So the story's going to be on the same level as FFTA? Fabulous.
Actually I did make a topic about it. :lolCan you tell us a little about the story? Final Fantasy Tactics Advance was criticized by some as being light on plot, have there been any efforts to beef up the story?
Murasawa Because of the light-hearted features of the previous game, we decided to keep the same sort of mood. Our goal this time is to keep things light, at least that is what we're aiming for.
The original Tactics Advance taught the tactics strategy gameplay at the beginning using snowball fights. How is that going to be applied in the sequel? Is there going to be a similar training session that's more light-hearted? How are you going to train people in the DS version?
Murasawa Because this title was developed on the DS, and that has expanded the users into broader audience. So, we have added a lot of tutorials to make it easy for newcomers to understand. However, in this title we don't have a snowball fight. Instead the main character is transported to Ivalice where he is confronted by a large bird that he must fight. That, in a way, is our substitute for the snowball fight.

sp0rsk said:Yeah, but none of these characterizations are that wacky. There is a pretty strong rumor that Uesugi Kenshin was actually a woman. Hideyoshi's nickname was "monkey". And Date Masamune did run around with 6 swords yelling out catch phrases in english.
The last part wasn't true, but the first two are!
How old is Lloyd supposed to be? xDcreamsugar said:
