Tae posted:English voice highlights for Star Ocean 5 are coming out. Fiore is professional I didnt think they could come up with a way to make her design dumber, but apparently giving her a calm and professional personality fits the bill. It just conflicts with an outfit that excessive so drastically.

Yeah, I commented on that while I was playing it earlier. She should pretty much be in a lab coat. The printed excuse for her outfit is that she's proud of showing off the high-class signets on her legs, but even if you buy that it doesn't explain the hair or accessories.

Rascyc posted:All the stuff they added in TO that's terrible is mostly related to the post game at least. The leveling of new classes is probably the worst your average play through has to deal with, sadly it is a pretty bad one. You can cfw cheat that one away at least. Isn't it something ridiculous where skills like Strengthen don't actually work unless you're at a higher level than the enemy?

Furnaceface posted:Also now I really want to play MotBQ. I think that might be the only game Ive ever played and beat more than 5 times and still enjoy picking up to play again. One of my biggest surprises related to the current giant wave of indie games is that there isn't any Ogre Battle clones being made. If there are, none of them have caught my attention, and I rummage through indie strategy games / rpgs fairly commonly. I've bounced the idea around in my head before, and a game like that should be relatively simple to make compared to others. If you go for the SNES level of fidelity, you have pretty simple tile maps, limited sprite animations, and some fairly simple effects. Programming wise I don't see a challenge at even my low skill level. The story can be a pretty standard military affair and get away with it as well. It seems like a competent group could throw something pretty awesome together, but it doesn't happen.

There are ogre battle clones, they are also infamously lovely kickstarters that never came out like Project Phoenix, the one that is making a multiplayer that no one wanted, the one that never started because they were waiting on an artist for 2 years, etc. If you're strictly talking medieval strategy turn-based games, Banner Saga 2 is coming out soon. There hasn't been that many kickstarters probably because strategy rpg hasn't been a non-active genre for actual companies.

Went to a used game/movie store today and picked up copies of Tales of Xillia, the Tales of Symphonia bundle, Resonance of Fate and Vanquish for 70 bucks total. I know another store that has Xillia 2 and a bunch of Atelier games, if I decide I want to use the rest of my birthday money on that, too.

If you like the characters in Xillia even a little bit, pick up Xillia 2. It's more of the same but does a lot more character development and has some great skits.

I also has the stupidest possible plot which almost retroactively ruined the characters for me. It's probably decent if you skip all plot and just listen to the skits.

Verranicus posted:Any other suggestions for PS3 games? The only big ones that no one has touched on since you asked are Valkyria Chronicles, Lightning Returns (better on PC if possible), and Demon Souls.guessing you may have already played these. I recommend Tokyo Jungle and Lost Planet 2 as slightly off-the-beaten-path fun games with some RPG aspects. There are a lot of other great games on the system though.

I mean, it's a good song but that still seems dumb. Who's the new Albel, though? I don't recognize the others off-hand but you can always tell it's Crispin Freeman.

Nah jrpgs always have pretty huge drop offs. Unless people start returning it and the price plummets it's really just business as usual that said by armchair analyst opinion is that the overall sales are pretty weak for a console jrpg with an actual budget

100k in Japan is pretty good for a franchise that isn't one of those juggernaut like Monster Hunter, Pokemon, Yokai Watch, or Dragon Quest. Also, pretty much most games drop off heavily after the 1st week because physical copies are at bargain bins almost immediately.
