i had to turn the game down to easy at the very end, i am a scrub

you gotta abuse those skill books that give you 30% damage and 20% defense against enemy types. ended up with all bonuses done and an overall s rank

that bit at the end where every character was repeating how tragic everything was and then tarte just kept saying how bad it was repeatedly was so over the top tragic it made me laugh instead of the crying the game wanted me to do

I'm liking Xenoblade, but it's the kind of game that gets overrated because it attracts people who have ignored JRPGs for a decade for being "too anime" or on handhelds. Similar thing happened with Ni no Kuni.

A British dub makes people ignore how hella anime it is, I suppose.

I enjoyed Xenoblade but the way it was hyped/pushed by the louisgod as the Greatest JRPG Ever is kind of funny in retrospect.
a lot of its hype came from people who hadn't played a JRPG since like FF7

but xenoblade is still a dece. jrpg

ni no kuni is poo poo. like, one of the worst RPGs ive ever played.

I know that I'm fairly alone with my opinion here, but I think FF 10 is the best Final Fantasy game ever made and maybe even the best RPG ever made.

hahaha well anyway, the XIII games are pseudo turn based games with some action Rpg elements and the third one is a single character game with a combo system and customizable movesets that you swap between during battle, and you can dress lightning up in a variety of dresses and accesories. It's really good

it's supposed to come out on PC but they announced it months ago and there hasn't been an update which is really odd. I hope it does bc the PS3 version has really haphazard performance issues and it would be neat to run it well
