I know the reason why FF XIII got low reviews from Western folk, two companies, BioWare and Besthedia (sp)

says Toriyama in a recent issue of Xbox World 360. "When you look at most Western RPGs, they just dump you in a big open world, and let you do whatever you like..."

Hang on I still can't stop laughing.

SE is stuck in the past. Thats why.

Or it could just be that the game isn't great?



:/



What is with this blame everyone else mentality game companies are starting to develop.

I still want to see a good remake of Chrono Trigger...

It's funny because one of the editors had dinner with Toriyama and he kept asking him why Mass Effect 2 was so popular (basically, how could this game outsell Final Fantasy XIII after only 2 days). Amusing in the context of this latest statement from him.

Omg! Haha!

^LOL someone should have given him a copy. XD



At least then we'd start getting some good JRPGS from him.

The level of awesome would be too high for most people to handle. Casualties would be high.

JRPGs fail. They seriously do.

I laughed so hard hearing this

They should have have stopped the FF franchise after FFIII.

I consider the whole series sort of a running joke now. SE was great, back in the day. But they milked that puppy into dust.

I don't know why, but playing Western RPG's just makes me feel proud.

Maybe because Western countries rule?



I couldn't find Combo Breaker flags for other Western Countries, my apologizes.

It fails because old fans of Final Fantasy realize the series is nothing like it used to be, and is simply not engaging anymore.

I haven't even played a JRPG before. Mostly because I don't own a console and they all seem to be made for Nintendo's. At least that's how it used to be. But from what I've seen, they are, at their core, the same as the relatively old 'Arachronox'. Combat is turnbased and it's very linier. Keep in mind, this is just observation. I haven't actually played any of them.

Funny thing is, what keeps me from buying them, is the style. I really don't like it. It looks like 12 year-olds running around with swords larger than cars while sporting haircuts larger than their bodies. Also, they seem, at a distance, to be very over-the-top. Like, really absurdly much. Normal melee attack usually involves said 12 year-old jumping 30 feet in the air, landing on top of the enemy and causing a shockwave knocking everything down. It's absurd.

Yes, yes, western RPGs have magic and biotics and forcefields and whatnot. But it still feels more... constrained.

Honestly I stopped playing after X, I couldn't do it anymore. Once they made an MMO-RPG, like I was discussing with a friend. I called it quits. Actually I stopped playing when they introduced X-2.

While I will always hold a soft spot for JRPGs, the developers have really dropped the ball on current gen systems.

FF12 got low reviews from who in the west? Last time I checked FF12 had nothing but stellar reviews from just about ever major reviewer, The only people who didn't like FF12 where the rabid fanboy mob, who thinks every thing before and after 7 sucks and just want 900 iterations of Cloud.

Bioware in my opinion has really pushed the envelope for what an rpg can encompass. I've played everything Since kotor to ME2 (except for NWN..) and never have I been let down. They're always trying new things while keeping to the core of what makes a bioware game unique. It's not just bioware either, other western companies are also trying to push ahead while on the other hand many jrpgs still fall into the same routines. It's like they got to a happy place then decided to stop there which was maybe a decade ago or so.

Incoming JRPG fanboy.

"Western reviewers don't get it?" This is the same type of thinking that had the developers insisting that reviewers not criticize the long cutscenes in the last Metal Gear Solid or they wouldn't get an advance copy.
