Cool, cool. P5 is looking like it's going to be really good. I actually bought rhe collectors' edition of TMS #FE on launch day and played it, and I enjoyed it. I just wanted to read your opinion on the game. I would like to see the same concept done in reverse, FE x SMT, as a strategy RPG.
I still need to get that....
This is the only game in the series that made it out of Japan, sadly.
It isn't tile-based. The combat is quite good, and is turn based.
Turn-based. Lots of creative skills.
My vote would go to Burning Rangers. There was also a firefighting game on PS1 called Roscoe McQueen: Firefighter Extreme which was made by Psygnosis. It apparently wasn't all that great though.
I generally don't mind the grind in traditional RPGs, as it leads to rewards that are fairly handed out. In most games you really don't have to grind unless you're looking to beat an optional superboss.
Where I have a problem with grinding is when you're expected to find 100 orc scalps, 50 dragon spleens, or other such vendor trash to complete a pointless fetch quest, which is the case with most MMORPGs I've played including WoW. I also primarily associate grinding with free-to-play games, where they intentionally make the gameplay tedious in order to entice you to spend money on microtransactions.
I figured you'd get this game. I'm looking forward to the US release.
Did you get to play Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE on Wii U?
Love this game. I got the PS2 collectors' edition, and it was the last PS2 game I ever preordered. I'd always wanted to play the Sakura Taisen series ever since the Saturn was a thing and was thrilled when NISA announced they were localizing this one. I wish the rest of the series had made it over.
Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Super Mario 64. SM64 holds up the best for me because I felt like the Gamecube Zeldas blew the N64 Zeldas out of the water. Other favorites include Mario Kart 64, Star Fox 64, Ogre Battle 64, Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, Perfect Dark, Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness, It had some good games and SM64 was groundbreaking, but it's my least favorite Nintendo console (aside from Virtual Boy of course).
