Seeing as mmcafe is as much an RPG site as a fighting one, with all the new RPGs coming out before December. I think it's about time we heard some comments about the games that are out...

So, just to get the ball rolling, Grandia X came out earlier this week. Anyone playing it? Any comment on the quality of Mark Hamill and Lisa Loeb? (Now there's two names I never thought I'd put in the same sentence :P )

Any comments on other RPGs, released or soon-to-be, are also welcome.

I just got Shadow Hearts. It's ok so far. I expect it will get more better as it progresses. Some of my characters went berserk and started attacking on their own, healing the opponent and attacking their own team members... Is this the insanity meter at work eh

I haven't played those games mentioned in above post yet.

What's the deal with the Korean Kofonline game? Is it sanctioned by Playmore? It seems like its not legit because it's brimming with pirated images and links to fanboy sites that carry more pirating and game roms. If it is legit Playmore's going to sue themselves.

edit: It's even got a picture of Sakura of Capcom games on the front page of kofworld.com.

There is one RPG I'm waiting with extreme angst and fear and refrained love, it's Unlimited Saga. Romancing Sa.Ga series was my all time favorite series, even before the Sa.Ga one, and they slaughtered it by making the two pieces of crap of Saga Frontier...
Oh, please, please, gods of all religions, make so that this time they succes in making something as great as the two first Sa.Ga series. If they do, I promise I will stop to eat pizzas with pim's and Armagnac for the rest of my life.

Shadow Hearts is a great RPG. Yes, the Sanity Points must be taken care of and paid close attention in battle. If you wind up liking it enough, you could search down the prequel (which is admittedly not the best game in the world.. but worth about 10 dollars...) Koudelka. Interesting note: Shadow Hearts was made by ex-SNK and Squaresoft members.

Well, I personally liked SGF2, but I know it probably wasn't really for much the same reasons that Romancing SaGa series was good (even though I never played them). I just liked the music, story and visual style, but the periods of running around doing nothing were tedious and the battle system was... interesting, but weirdly unbalanced.

From the looks of the screenshots and stuff, USG seems to be along the lines of SGF2...

Sheesh. I could swear that either Saga Frontier 2 was unfinished and just shoved out the door, or whoever was in charge of the main design was just smoking some serious crack. *glance at funky unbalanced battle system, 'poofing' major characters, and 'overall presented or implied then apparently purposefully not resolved character development plot points'*

I'm a bit tired of Square making great sagas more "commercial" and somewhat ruining their classic feeling...

I'm just waiting for Star Ocean, Tales of Destiny 2, Xenosaga (even when I know that it isn't the greatest game ever), and if there's a miracle, english versions of Narikiri Dungeon 2 and Venus & Braves.

I agree. Personally I think the gameboy ones were the best. None of the "oops you just stumbled across a monster ten times harder than a boss you just fought; you lose" crap of the first Saga Fronteir or the just insane mess of unrelated plots and stupid 'strategy' battles of Saga Frontier 2. Just good old fasioned monster killing and eating fun.

I'm looking forward to .hack. It looks pretty interesting. That and Star Ocean 3. Hopefully TriAce has fixed the problems that kept SO2 down.

I really liked the graphic style in SGF2 too, made you feel as in you were playing in an illustrated story book, I wish they made more games like that, specially with the power they have on the consoles today. Never finished the game tho, since the game is part of a horribly unbalanced breakfast.

Oh good! ^_^ Yes there is a way.

During the game you'll get these items (Pure Leaf, Pure Seed, Pure Root, Pure Extract) they are all dedicated to healing the SP (Sanity Points) There are other items that heal MP, Hp and SP together and ETC. (Such as the Talisman of Power).

Legaia 2 is not bad... not GREAT... but not bad...

Character models are sharp (good quality modeling, but average degree of animation), environments are pretty, battle engine is fun, music is much better, and voices are BAAAAAD... I mean this is classic bad dubbing, no mistake about it. Thankfully the voices are limited only to the battle scenes. Story is pretty generic so far, though you can make choices that apparently affect your character's attitude in battle.

I'm only 5 hours into it so far though, so some of these could change... we'll see...

"Did anyone else here enjoy Hybrid Heaven?" , posted Wed 9 Oct 08:26

I know comments could be made that the environments were repititious and that the atmosphere was overall dark and depressing -- but oddly enough, for me, Hybrid Heaven was a game that I really got into. For me, it was especially the battle sequences that drew me in. Learning new moves (even if the way you learned it was to be beat over the head with it first ;] ), seeing who could get in the first hit, seeing if that hit would be successful (and if not, hoping that the other fighter doesn't take advantage of how open you are after the attack), seeing if a body part would heal in time to make an important attack that would either mean winning or dying... plus, the music during the battle sequences was well done in my opinion.

Plus, once you got past the initial game sequences where hi-res mode ran 6 frames per second, the rest of the game ran pretty decently in high-res mode. (Hey, 12 fps is decent enough...) And, high-res mode looked far sharper than the rather-blurry normal-res mode.

It would've been cool if Konami had been able to stay with the original 64 MB limit, as opposed to limiting themselves to 16 MB; and it might've been nice had Konami actually designed some outdoor game sequences -- but the game still was pretty enjoyable for me. (Heh -- might have something to do also with the fact that this was the first RPG in a while that I had played, given that my brother had the PSX when he went to college and got to experience the Squaresoft titles on it, and I had the N64 and got to experience the action titles on it.)

So, any comments? Like it? Hate it?

Hybrid Heaven was one of the few games that I liked a lot on that cursed system. I mainly liked the battles, and the learning battle system in which your stats and stance changed depending on what moves you used (my character usually ended up having the stance of a kickboxer or a wrestler.) It had little flaws but i could appreciate that they wanted to try something inovative and different. Not a bad try at all.
Good story. I also liked the music, blended up very well with the stages into making a very moody, depressing futuristic look which makes me warm and fussy inside.

Now if there was a gamecube version......AAAAH!

I liked this game a lot... the first 80% of it, exactly. I think that what this game lacks more is variety, that is, variety in scenarios, variety in the situations you face (not only: advance, fight, advance, fight, etc...)
The idea was excellent, but the game became only a good game, what's not bad at all, but... Also, the story wasn't that good for me, and it was developed a little too separatedly of the game, I mean, the actions you did when advancing in the game had little to do with the plot, you just encountered cutscenes from time to time and the story was developed in it.

And just before entering the positive thoughts (or that's my intention), let me talk about other think it lacked: RPG component. I don't know, maybe talking with some hybrids there, or buying things, or some sort of relationship. it was a little sad to not be able to talk with people.

Now, onto the best part: the fights. It was a great idea, really good indeed, with all the techniqes and the specific development of the body... you hit with the head, you get stronger at that, you get hit in the body, your body becomes more resistant, and so on. My character ended being a kicker (just what I wanted it to be). I always pulled that kick combo that ended in either a spinkick or an axe kick, it was great. I missed more special combos like the above mentioned (yeah, I know there were a few more, but not that much), and maybe more "non-realistic" attacks, like some flying kicks, or shoryuken-type moves...
The only thing I didn't liked about the battles was it's slowness. Charging 5 stocks needed many time, and by the moment you had 5 hit combos aviable, those were a necessity, so the match was like wait and dodge untill the 5 meters were built, land the combo, repeat.

Don't mistake me, I like this game very much, but I wanted it better.

Oh, and sorry for the DKW-esque post :P

There it is always lame boring cheats like the unlimited HP/MP, level 99 after 1 battle and so; but there are cool cheats like more skills (FFT) ort meeting unknown enemies (On FF VI there it was a new monster on the Velt... he was a bastard).

There is also cheats that make the game tougher for you (I remember that it was a Cheat for level zero on Chrono Trigger)

That screenshot was actually from way back in the day, from when the game was still scheduled to appear on the 64DD. The game there actually looks a bit cleaner, with good environment textures, regular smoke effects, and an actual light-sourced shadowing system. Plus, the game had an outdoor area -- what looked to be some kind of military base.

I suppose the changes took place after they realized the 64DD wasn't coming out and they chose not to make a 64 MB cart...

(I'd link to a video that was once on IGN64 -- but it seems the link is gone. It was a really cool looking video too, with what seemed to show a nice assortment of fighting moves in the battle sequence.)

As for the RPG coming along, you mean the one I'm working on? That's falling behind slightly because of the RLife business, but I'm still trying to get it reasonably playable by the end of this month. There's gonna be so much to do in it though, I think I may need to write a FAQ for it :P

Yes, I remember spending DAYS in the dinosaur forest just to get all that XP, thinking of which stone I would make them wear to have 255 in the most possible stats...
Yes, I was crazy too.

I had a save with all characters in Level 99 (less Umaro at level 93), all the lores; all the characters with all the magics, 224 rages for Gaou and more items than the ones that your inventory can have, more than 80 hours of play... Several saves like that and -of course- no cheating device.

High school was easy; all the free time LoL

OH MY GOD I HEAR AN ECHO.

I went to the official page and the game seems interesting.
Oh yeah,

BUMP.

Ah. Wonder what monster it was, then. Gigantos was really hard since he had that counter attack throat choke move. Only way I could beat him at that point in the game was to cast level 5 doom on him. Hmm... or was it level 4 flare? I forget. I think you automatically pincered him, but he was so powerful that it didn't help too much or something.

...erm, yea. Goooo memories :P

If I remember right, I just summoned Phantom to deal with him...I don't believe he had any non-physical attacks.

But... it's Bandai! How good can it be? I think you're better off expecting the worst.

Hmm, played the Wild Arms 3 demo... on one hand, I like the character design, but on the other the unique shading style they used is distracting and awkward. Story okay, battle engine hasn't changed much, nor has the gameplay style (Zelda-like puzzles, if you remember), and the music is so-so western-ish.

Speaking of music, even if you're not interested in buying Legaia 2 (and really who can blame you), I still highly recommend buying or downloading the soundtrack. It was done by 3 people, two of which were Hitoshi Sakimoto and Yasunori Mitsuda, and it's excellent.

Anyway, I also played the demo of Dual Hearts. Pretty bizarre, almost annoying with that big-eared mouse that follows you around. It's not bad though, for an action RPG. Once I got past how bad some of the areas looked it was kind of fun and humorous.
