There's every chance you won't like it either, but there is the possibility that it will 'click' for you the way it did for me, and then you'll not have missed an unforgettable game."
Get ready to embark on a journey filled with monsters, magic, and overpowered haircuts, because this list features the best JRPGs on the PS3.
There wasn't that many. Thanks to the west's criticism. It was definitely lacking compared to every other ps system. Dont get me wrong there were a few good ones i know that.
Only gripe I have with Ar Tonelico 3 is that Saki is annoying as hell whether English or in Japanese. Then Saki's English voice actor became Ionasal on Ar Nosurge she was a little annoying but not as bad. Johnny Young Bosch voicing Tatsumi I thought he did a great job. And Akiko Shikata with her vocals and the music from the games just went hand and hand.
Nier and Drakengard are two series that couldn't be more different in their setting and stories, but somehow they are still linked.
Whether intended or not, NieR makes a strong case that good gameplay is not everything, especially if a game has larger goals in mind.
i mean ... it depends right. when i think about drakengard 1s combat .. damn. its god awful. the game is great but its very charring to get through because of it.
good combat helps a game tremendously
I wanted to get it, but I still never got around to getting it. I know the soundtrack was supposed to be good, but I don't know why I still haven't played it. Is the story and gameplay good?
I absolutely loved this game. I loved it so much that I bought two copies and gave one to my cousin,but watching him play it made me cring. First off he skipped every line of text that wasn't voice acted and put custom music on over the awesome game soundtrack. It was kind of funny when he put on Foreigner's song Urgent when you go off to find your daughter early in the game and Ozzy's Over the Mountain when you're leaving the place but that is not the way this game should be played. The story is too damn good to be doing crap like that.
I don't know why this game got such high praises. I thought it was terrible.
It's worth buying alone for the soundtrack. Game is beyond epic.
I liked it bunches, but I wouldn't call it the best JRPG on the entire console. I've never been a fan of having to replay games in order to unlock true endings, and the gameplay itself wasn't good enough to warrant the extra replays.
I loved the story and the characters were some of the most original and interesting in gaming, period. I think maybe above all was the easier fact that the game just had a lot of heart, whatever that means (it means something, it's just hard to define).
