Arlen's List of "Things RPGs Need Moar Of."

Yup. I can't read the same book twice either.

A lot of Chrono Cross is impossible to know what it going on the first time through. For instance the creation of the Dead Sea when Chronopolis is pulled back in time.

I'm curious to know what videogame plots you guys have actually enjoyed, because man, by your standards they would blow my mind.

Played them. Thought they were amazing the first times around, but I can't even finish them now.

Maybe a good story just isn't as good after the fist time around?

Yeeaahh. There's my point.

FFT, which I have played through no less than 10 times. Bahamut Lagoon, which I have played through 3 times. Front Mission, Front Mission 3, and I'd probably love 2 and 4 as well. Der Langrisser. The story of Der Langrisser isn't really amazing, but with four main possible story paths and like half a dozen smaller branches it has alot of depth. You learn to love your enemies because at one point they were or will be your allies. You might fight for light, fight for peace, fight for freedom, but that puts you at odds with people who fight for the same things but see a different way to go about it. The Shadow Hearts series is pretty nice, if just because it's so different from conventional RPGs. I actually kinda like Chrono Trigger's story, I just can't bring myself to play the game anymore because it's not very fun.

You might notice that most of the games I listed are SRPGs. It's not my fault they have better gameplay AND plot.

Your opinion sucks. SRPG's are boring and uninteresting.

I like them...

You're obviously playing the wrong SRPGs

Yeah or I just don't like SRPG's.

Impossible.

INCONCEIVABLE!

LMAO

V is a really cool game, although the plot is rather weak you'll love the gameplay - played through at least eight times. Kingdom Hearts is also fun for a while - I've played that through twice. I'm not too fussy with games, if a game doesn't have something but something else instead that I find better, the other thing missing seems distant.

I can tell Gilga likes the feudal setting for his rpgs. I am more of a high-fantasy or steampunk kind of person.

The only game I mentioned with a feudal setting was FFT. And MAYBE Der Langrisser, but Der Langrisser is very japanese and animeish and not very realistic at all in that sense. Bahamut Lagoon takes place on giant floating islands in the sky and they have machines and stuff. Front Mission is all about giant robots and such. Shadow Hearts is in the 1900s. The setting doesn't matter much to me.

I like stories that are refeshing and unique, and I like events that surprise me. I like when all the characters are very realistic and human, and act in ways people would really act. Other than that, if the game has fun gameplay I'll play pretty much anything.

Need moar RAGE !!!!

I played a few SRPGs, but stopped after the first fight. Mainly, because the first fight took half an hour. And that was just ONE FLOOR OF THE FIRST DUNGOEN.

Nippon Ichi is the uncrowned king of Srpgs. Nobody can even come close to them.

But, Atlus made Tactics Ogre and Phoenix Wright(which isn't an SRPG but is still like the best game ever)

But then again Phantom Brave & Disgaea are like my favorite games O,o hmmmm

Tactics Ogre was made by Quest. It was just published by Atlus. Sadly, Atlus ussually get's credit for games they simply published.

I also wouldn't call NIS the king of SRPGs. Yeah, sure, they've made alot of good ones recently, bringing SRPGs to the modern gaming audience and to America, where the genre was mostly unknown and unappreciated untill recently. However, I've played quite a few SRPGs and NIS's games are... well, nice, but a bit dissapointing. Disgaea is dull and way too easy, though it's a pretty funny game. Makai Kingdom is far too short. La Pucelle Tactics is VERY easy. The only one I think is a really great game is Phantom Brave. Their games are cute and nice and pretty fun, but there's just not enough content or challenge for an SRPG lover like me. In a sense, NIS's SRPGs are like the Final Fantasy series.

And when I wrote Phoenix Wright I meant Trauma Center.  I was playing Phoenix wright when I was writing this :x

OBJECTION!!!!
