It's still Final Fantasy III. I've played fair few new JRPGs since the last time this topic was a thing. Mainly because the ones I get interested in usually end up with people saying they suck and that puts me off. Like Tales of Graces/Xillia 1.

Kingdom Hearts, easily. After that would be Mass Effect 3.


I am proud of you both.

People dislike Graces and Xillia? Ugh. Probably the same people who says Symphonia or Abyss are the best no matter what.

I like Graces and Xillia a lot. Though I haven't got around to playing Xillia 2 yet, I must admit.

The guy from Five Nights at Freddy's made it

I completely believe this; his fetish for shitty game design choices is totally and completely present.

I disliked Graces myself, but I gave it a chance. The characters and story are just too awful, and I didn't see the appeal of the battle system like so many others do. I thought Xillia 2 had a better feeling battle system (though unfortunately it was broken with the ability to deal ridiculous amounts of damage). It was mainly the characters and story that killed Graces for me though. I wouldn't say it's one of the worst RPGs I've played, though definitely one of the worst Tales games in my opinion.

That game looks kinda interesting to me, I'm sure his fetish for shitty game design choices still isn't as bad as Bethesda's anyways.

Obviously, the themes of friendship in Graces is cheesy and terrible, definitely wasn't present in Symphonia and other Tales games, nope.

I love Abyss and Symphonia was fun, but it's pretty hard to say they have a better battle system than Graces. Graces actually incorporated fluid 3D gameplay with the ability to dodge left/right, ditched the outdated TP system, etc.

Bah, ToG & ToX were fine. Probably not the "best" Tales games, but certainly not "bad".
If you want to talk about bad Tales games, talk about ToS2 & ToL

Thank you.

(Tales of Xillia wasn't great or anything but I still thought it was pretty neat)

Anyone who disagrees is just shit at the game and is too butthurt to git gud so they just complain on message boards about it.

The only Tales that has a worse story than the rest is ToS2. Beyond that there is nothing to compare.

Yeah, Xillia wasn't an amazing Tales game, but I thought it was decent enough. More so than Graces at least. My biggest gripe with Xillia was the battle system though. Aside from the addition of the linking, I found it to be lacking. Though like I said, I liked the improved system in Xillia 2, aside from the fact that you could dish out 5,000,000+ damage combos with no effort at all. I'll take the story and cast of ToX/ToX2 over ToG's any day though, regardless if they aren't a whole lot better (though I'd say the cast of is quite a lot better).

I think I would have been able to overlook Grace's bad story if the cast wasn't so bad. Asbel especially. His English voice is just god awful. I'm not one who normally dislikes English voices, but even I cringed at Asbel's voice acting. Honestly if it wasn't for the fact that Cheria was voiced by Laura Bailey (one of my favorite English VAs), I probably would have played Graces on mute. Unless Graces has dual audio. It's been too long since I've played it, I don't remember if it does. Something I'll have to remember to check when I eventually play it again.

Just restating, years later, that my choice is Lunar Dragon Song. That game was offensive to the player.

On a similar note, I came into this topic to post mage knight ds, with lunar dragon song as a close second, only to realize this was an old topic and I'd already done that. In fact, I've had this experience before when this topic was previously bumped.
