Ah, I just took my last final exam (EVER!), and got home to enjoy this. Thanks guys, made my day!
Stupid question though: do you guys ever play any of the games you parody here? I mean beyond the occasional tutorial to get to even funnier cutscenes?

Aw, you left out the funniest parts.
Namely the video that plays before the title screen (of Emil being a ferocious badass) and the stuff that happens immediately after this, (of Emil being a ferociously whiny ***** of a wimp that nobody likes.)

He ends up getting possessed by a dark lord god thing, making him actually cool but only sometimes. Other times, of course, complains about this constantly. Because he's a ferociously whiny ***** of a wimp that nobody likes.
Which is funny because here in the real world our androgynous teenagers are pretending to be in league with Satan.Xman490 said:
Did anyone else think that the cut-scene started at a point which sounded like it should have been somewhere in the middle. Usually before you tell me your version of the world tree is dead, you try to tell me how things were better before it died...
The fuck did I just watch?!
Seriously, I have no clue at all what that game is supposed to be about.

This is still my favorite series on this website... nothing makes me laugh out loud quite as hard. I am in desperate need of a good JRP (oximoron har! har!) to play. Although I should just go back and beat the ones I haven't yet. Like all the Grandia's, Star Oceans and FFV and FFVI.
"Hello. I'm dead inside" 
Priceless!
And that's also the only part of the cutscene I understood. Good one, guys.

I agree, Despite all the hate this game has been getting I thought it was quite good. Probably on my top 10 or even top 5 on the list of Wii games. Great to see this made fun of though. I love seeing games that I actually care about here.NeutralDrow said:
You are correct, and the things he's doing will make sense at some point of the game. You will run into him quite a few times, but you wont know his secret and important quest until the end.canadamus_prime said:
If you got a Wii an an open mind to this, I would recommend you to play it. There are a lot of changes to how it plays, and how things work. There are less side quests, I think it is shorter and there's no Kratos. However, if you keep in mind that this is a spin-off and don't compare it too much to the original it's actually a pretty good game.Yggdraz0r said:
Tales of Symphonia was a damn good game. But this? This game is seriously a huge stain on the story of the original. It's a bad game and the entire thing was just unneeded for every reason you can think of.
Ugh... this is so terrible it hurts, especially considering how good the first one was. That remains my 2nd favorite game to this day, but watching this almost makes me ashamed to admit it.
Technically, it's the other way around.webrunner said:

And even whiny ***** Emil is honestly pretty badass once you get to the final dungeon.

Honestly, I think it just wasn't what a lot of people were expecting. It's technically a sequel, but it's also a lower-budget escort title, and I guess people were missing the original cast taking center stage. I always thought that was rather missing the point; they already had center stage. They're guests in a different story, now.Yopaz said:
The voice acting, I'll give you, if mainly because it still had Crispin Freeman voicing a buff, hard-kicking badass (though I honestly really like Johnny Yong Bosch in this game). I can't agree on the cinematics, though, because the first game didn't really have cinematics beyond an animated cutscene or two. I liked how they switched from the 3D models to the cel-shading for this game.Tonimata said:
Loved the original, HATED the sequel. Worst voice acting out of Laura Bailey and Johnny Young Bosch EVER.
Gameplay was 'okay' though, but not enough merit to keep playing it.
Shame how the sequel got treated like shit here... And that they didn't use the original opening, which is actually pretty damn good.
Oh well, at least Tales of the Abyss 3DS will satiate my need until Graces F comes out.

Good episode, had a good laugh. Might just be me, but the "I had so much magic last night" joke cracked me up, perhaps due to it's similarity to a certain WC3 priest quote regarding magic not being for everyone.
Isn't that what usually happens to spin-off titles people assume are sequels? I do agree completely. A lot of the problem is that most (I am one of them) wanted to see things continue from where the first game ended. What we got was a brand new game in a known universe following a different angled story in a changed world. It's a bit like Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. I actually liked Emil and the way he evolves throughout the story.NeutralDrow said:
