Tentacruel Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Now, I know the phrase, "JRPG" hasn't been the most welcoming in recent years, but as I understand it, Nintendo has this new RPG IP that is being released in North America, which is quite rare for new series these days. As someone who group on Nintendo's old consoles and classic RPG's, it's great to see a JRPG actually generating this much hype in the west.

[/quote] Really? This is the first time I've heard of it, and it looks like your typical cliche "try to coup the bad guy" story line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Wait, someone tell me again why JRPGs are hated nowadays? I must be missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tentacruel Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I don't know why either, which is why it's very satisfying to see a JRPG no one has heard of over hear actually get a release over here and generate hype. (A small amount of hype, but still.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'd like to see you try, because Xenoblade Chronicles is amazing. Already pre-ordered this game to support Operation Rainfall, and being helmed by the creator of Final Fantasy helps a lot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Revan of the Sith Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 What I like about The Last Story is that the guy who is front director of it, is the guy who made Final Fantasy 1. Yes, the guy who made Final Fantasy what it is made The Last Story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Last Story Final Fantasy Can't believe I didn't catch that. I wonder if there's gonna be 14 of this as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Not exactly... Though I'm probably not going to buy the game, I love how people are already bashing this thing as being clichéd when critics have hailed it playing the traditional JRPG structure very well as the big highlight. (I think people need to look up that cliché =/= trope-heavy =/= bad. |: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 It's just that "clichéd" carries a negative connotation to it. It's kind of like "convoluted" in that it's a word people throw around as a stock criticism for something that they just don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 People are dumb, and tropes are awesome. It's just sad the a lot of games don't get appreciated because of stereotypes and people judging books by their cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
?someone? Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I'm happy. The world (or at least the west) needs more RPGs. Hopefully good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Origins Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Last Story is synonymous with Final Fantasy, literally. Wondering if this'll actually be worth getting. Not going to spend my money on it if it doesn't have good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
