I thought the voice acting was great (in that campy way) and the over all style was very fitting as well. I also liked that there was none of that "is it a guy or a girl?" crap you generally find in those games. I enjoyed the game to spend 30 or so hours into it, never did beat it though. Also dragon quest 8 looks ten times better than most other Jrpgs.Quote:

Oh it was. I'm not denying that, but to say that the only reason you thought the game was fun was becuase of the presentation and the voice acting, which isn't the best in the genre is perplexing.Quote:

Either way, burgundy's right, because getting into yet another goddamned console war (even in a more generic sense like "handhelds suck" versus "no they don't") is the last thing TNL needs.

(No, I'm not saying that's what will happen. But some of you talk like "Japanese support" = "F-chan Factory Inc. style games.")
"Another" implies that that had happened before.Quote:

Plus the turn based game play was alright in small doses and some times allowed a bit of tactics, but I really enjoyed exploring the world as well. The worse part was the turn based crap, if they would just have evolved it a little (I know it will never happen) then it could be up there with kotor in my favorites list.Quote:

They may dictate what the industry does but it doesn't effect what I do. I've said "fuck that noise" about all the GTA ilk for the past 6 years. It will NEVER become my problem because nobody is forcing me to play them.Quote:

DQIX is an action RPG with online elements.Quote:
