February RPG Battle

The End

So, if you had to pick between Tales of Legendia, Shadow Hearts 3, and Grandia, which would you get?

Mind you, I really enjoyed all 3 previous titles (tales of symphonia in the tales case).
 
I'm getting all 3 so I don't have to worry about such questions. I have no hope for all 3 of them by the way. Played Grandia 3, battles were unbalanced (plus Mana Eggs are the worst creation in any game ever). Played Shadow Hearts 3, wasn't exactly the setting I liked but it'll work out I guess. Must play them in English since I'm not that good with Japanese anyway.
 
All three will be mine eventually.

I'm expecting the most out of Grandia III. So I'll be getting that one first.

Who cares? The real battle is in March when Suikoden V goes against Kingdom Hearts II. SUPPORT SUIKODEN V. DO NOT GIVE SQUARE ENIX ANOTHER DONATION UNTIL YOU DO. And if you ARE going to buy Kingdom Heart II, buy Suikoden V as well!

QFT

I never liked any of the Suikoden games, but I'll probably buy Suikoden V anyway. I probably won't play it though... the main character gives me the creeps. Seriously "boy raised in a country full of women" I'm assuming he's going to be seriously queer. I remember the huge debate over "male or female" when pictures were first released. And I made a comment about how hot "her" legs were. :lol

Why are you buying it? It seems to me you have absolutely no reason to do so.

Advent Rising will sell more than Suikoden V.

Suikoden IV has sold more than Advent Rising.

Suikoden V is the only true game to be released in March aside from MGS3:S and supposedly Kingdom Hearts II. Do not believe these...non believers. They're tricking you.

Shadow Hearts? Metal Saga?
 
What are you talking about? I just sold like 5 copies of Advent Rising right here on GAF in the past few days.

Better catch up!

I personally sold 12 copies of Suikoden IV on Amazon for $30 each. No lie.

He has a father. The country is full of women but it's also full of men you idiot.
Click to expand...

Pff it looked like he was raised by amazons or something. Why would they mention it was full of women if it was full of men, too? Maybe you should be calling the creator an idiot.
 
I really hope the Ys port sells well on PSP... doubtful, but a PSP port of Oath of Felghana would be friggin amazing. As for the Feb RPGs... well I kinda hoped I'd have DQ8 finished before these games came out - but I'm gonna go for SH:FTNW and ToL... Grandia III can wait a little bit, all the negative impressions across the board really scared me off.
 
Himuro said:
Huh? It's a Queendom. A Queendom does not necessarily mean full of women, it means that it's predominantly RULED by women.

All I read was "The main character was raised in a country full of women" and pictured Bridget.
 
demi said:
You're lucky this is between Suikoden V and not IV.
Click to expand...

Well, Suikoden III came out against Grandia Xtreme, Legaia 2, and Wild Arms 3, and it still managed to sell almost 200K total. If Suikoden V is at least as good as Suikoden III, it should do as well.
 
Himuro said:
And it looks better. Mark my words, if Konami advertises Suikoden V, Suikodne will go mainstream. But they won't.

Also remember Suikoden III came out against Kingdom Hearts, around the same time.
Click to expand...

Suikoden is mainstream enough. Or the few fans it has are scary monsters. I once said I hated Suikoden 2 and this guy threatened to rape my mother and announced my address to me and then took pictures of himself holding spiked dildos and sent them to me and dissappeared.
 
Well I really don't like any of them. It's not that I hate them, I just can't enjoy them. Maybe one day something will make me get into one, but that hasn't happened so far. I also lasted pretty long on Suikoden Tactics surprisingly.

I want it to sell atleast Xenosaga episode I numbers.
Click to expand...

Ep 1 sold well? Hmm maybe that's why I see so much hate.
 
I don't like the perspective in battle or the animations. I don't really like how the battles flow either. The whole picking an enemy and then if you try to attack an enemy that already poofed you didn't get to take your turn. The music tended to bore me easily and the same thing happened with Suikoden 1. I guess it wasn't presented to me well enough, though I'm not even a graphics whore. It's just one of those games I couldn't enjoy. We're all different though, some of us like things that others just hate. Like uh... I love random dungeons in Dark Cloud 2 but a lot of people hate it. And I like FF9 but a lot of people hate it... etc. :P
 
Maybe it's just me, but for me Suikoden isn't mainstream because I don't know the Chinese legend it's based on. Like, at all. I only got Suikoden III because it got stellar reviews, and even though I've played most of the way through it, I still don't know what the Suikoden legend is. I almost finished the original Suikoden and had the same problem: I just don't know the mythology behind it, so it doesn't seem special.

Suikoden isn't mainstream because Pokemon is BETTER.

GOTTA COLLECT EM ALL

SUI-KO-DEN
 
Oh, c'mon, if you really think Suikoden will outsell in this pretty beastly month of March, you're nuts.

And I like Suikoden.

It's all been said so I won't go into lists, but come on now.

Lol, the chance of Suikoden V being anywhere near as good as KH2 is very very low.

And wow, Konami translators work crazy fast considering that the game isn't coming out until the end of Feb in Japan.
 
Himuro said:
I thought you were on of those people who thought KHII sucks and you don't want to play it again because of what happens at the end? Change of heart Bebpo?
Click to expand...

Uhhmmm, no. If you've read any of my impressions/reviews of the game I said over and over that KH2 is fucking awesome and give it a 9.4/10. The game would get a 10/10 if the ending didn't go downhill. I will be buying the US release and playing through it again with English voices the day the US one comes out.

KH2 is amazing.
 
Himuro said:
Bebpo I love you and stuff but why are you always squashing my hopes and dreams? Is it so wrong for me to just.....believe?
Click to expand...

Suikoden V could still be good and all. I'm just saying unless it's OMG GOTY calibur it's not gonna be better than KH2.

I hope Suikoden V is good and sells well! I need me a Harmonia based Suikoden VI on PS3/X360!
