Ah. I thought she was pretty good, actually, once she outgrew her "fangirl" stage.lordlee said:
Can't say I ever noticed that (except maybe Marta; I never could control her as well as the CPU). I liked the way Emil handled more than Lloyd or Guy (about as much as Zelos or Luke), even more so once I crafted that unspeakably awesome Painkiller armor. I also never actually had to grind, and I liked the fact that the experience progression was basically uninterrupted for everyone (assuming you stuck with a small core of monsters), regardless of who you used. As for the Symphonia characters, I actually felt that made more sense, since they were always only temporary party members (and they were still great in battle.
Wouldn't have minded being able to control the monsters, though. And I wish the Mystic Artes were, as a whole, more flashy like Abyss'. >_>
We do agree on something then. Agreement a million times over on Richter.
I have a few favourite JRPG moments.
The first has to be when I finished Final Fantasy III (DS). It was the first game I've ever completed start to finish and I was so happy. It got me into gaming properly.
The second has to be Final Fantasy X. The ending on the Airship, with that music and the pyerflies, and then Yuna says the line we've been waiting for the whole darn game...*sniff* so beautiful. Oh and while we're on FFX, the wierd crystal grotto thingy that you mysteriously end up in before the final fight that you see in an earlier cut scene is an amazing bit and something that's really quite awesome. My final fave fave FFX moment (for I'd just carry on and bang on about the whole game) is the run up to Zanarkand after the camp fire cut scene, I just love the music, it's heartbreaking and there's no break to the victory music so the atmosphere is maintained.
Yeah, I've said my piece I think.

Mine would have to be:
Final Fantasy X - What made me fall in love with the FF series and go on to play the others when I used to cock my head and not understand why people loved them so much.
Especially the ending, which I thought was very well done, and unusual in that it was a tragedy and not a happy ending per se like most game cliches.
Dragon Quest 1 - The first and best RPG I think I've ever played in terms of balance.
The climax and conclusion of the Xenosaga series - it comes together like a ton of bricks but it's soooooo awesome anyway
Various moments throughout .HACK

Shadow of the Colossus, released in Japan as Wander to Kyozō (ワンダと巨像, Wanda to Kyozō?, lit. "Wander and the Colossus"), is a Japanese-developed action-adventure video game.Jaranja said:

It's not an RPG so it's not even close to being JRPG.
If you've got a PSP you owe it to yourself to snatch up Yggdra Union: We'll never fight alonelordlee said:Of the Dept Heaven games, all I've played is the GBA version of Riviera: The Promised Land.Helba1984 said:On topic: Anybody else enjoy Yggdra Union?
I found I just couldn't get enough of it
Completely awesome game.
From what I know about Shadow of the Colossus, it's not an RPG at all. Not everything Japanese is a JRPG. Is Lexus Japanese? Yes. Is it a JRPG?
Anyway, just about all of Tales of Vesperia, especially at the end when you see

Duke and that floating castle thing, just before the credits, or maybe it was just after)
I think that scene would have been a lot more suspenseful for me if a little message that said "Colette has learned Judgment" did not pop up halfway through it. That clearly told me that Colette would remain a party member, killing any chance of me thinking that I would actually lose her (though I would have preferred that).NeutralDrow said:Well, I suddenly found myself screaming that I'd shove my swords so far down his throat he'd be crapping steel in hell, so...yeah, I kinda was.lordlee said:Haha fuck you.kemosabi4 said:
