Attention: Greed (Tales of Graces f Related)

Solid Snake · 03-21-2012, 11:20 PM

...So I spent money on three games today and returned home tonight to learn that a new jRPG has been released for the PS3 that appears to have traditional jRPG elements and has been positively reviewed

And so then I was like "How the fuck was I not informed of this development? I bought all these games that were not jRPGs! I've been dying for a solid PS3 jRPG!"

And Liz was like "Oh yeah Greed told me about it, he's playing it now."

And then I was like "But...but I already opened my new games...and if I was told about this...I, I would have..."

GREED
I BLAME YOU
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS GRAVE ERROR

...Seriously, though: Is it any good?
Apparently Rise is voicing a character?
Apparently the battle sequences are incredibly frantic?

Is it like
Is it like everything I yearn for
Everything I imagine we've now lost
When I hear the word jRPG and my heart erodes to figments of dust
Will this game be what restores it to its former glory

As a general rule, I distrust Australians.

Yes Snake it is an excellent JRPG, characters are a bit generic but better than average for JRPGs these days and the battle system is fucking amazing.

Also like no loading times at all which is just a nice thing.

Snake, you need to get this game. I just randomly got it from my uncle as a gift. It's awesome and you need to exprience this.

Battle system is great, the story is just another Tales game with some twists here and there.

Stop playing jRPGs for the plot and you will enjoy them just fine.

Having never played a Tales game before, this statement has absolutely no bearing on my decision to purchase it or not.
Y'all stink at game recommendations! Or maybe I just miss Liz's tack of "Snake, let me discuss with you for the next fifteen minutes exactly why this game is like custom-designed sex tailored just for your personal fetishes, only better" approach.

It's a great Tales of game to start with if you are a newb to the series, all I'm saying is that you shouldn't play ~~jRPG~~s video games for their story-telling purposes even if there are some exceptions to the rule.

I have a friend who plays games for the plot.

I feel sorry for that guy. He's missing out on so much fun and playing way too much shit.

Snake, can you play Tales of Destiny 2 ( PSX )/ Tales of Eternia ( PSP remake )?

Tales of Legendia ( PS2 ) also has probably the best plot of the series, but people will disagree heavily 'cause the battle system is still 2D.

What the fuck man? Vesperia is the only Tales game where the writing passes mediocre.
