It sucks compared to the first.
You know, I used to be one of the biggest anti-Lunar fanatics in existance. I hated it on SegaCD, I hated the 10 year-olds, I hated (and still do) WD's 'improvements'. Anyways, one of my friends gave me a copy of it dirt cheap, and talked me into giving it another try. I was snowed in for a weekend, and forced myself thru the first 2.5 hours. And I really liked it at the end, even bought Eternal Blue which I've yet to play.Quote:

I am very confused by anybody who says JSRF is better. The game takes away everything that makes JGR fun. By seperating the battle and explore modes, all tension is removed. By removing the stick motions for large tags, it takes away the immersion, as well as the tension that came when you were trying to make a really big tag with enemies coming at you.
However, while I disliked the idea of easy tagging at first, I got to like it. For me, it ended up being more fun racing along and tagging things without stopping, and putting more concern on doing the grinds and racking up a combo. See, that's where I got all of my love from from the first game - seeing how long of a grind / combo I could pull off. JSR Future with its huge stages and bigger opportunities to pull of more interesting grind stuff is what made me like the game more.
But, I'm not certain that I would put Future above JGR. The second game isn't the first, and vice versa. Each one had different elements that the other didn't do. I love the first game, but really, after the huge stages with vastly expanded grind possibilities of Future, it is hard for me to love the first as much as I used to. My biggest complaint with the first game was that you could tell that they just couldn't do everything they wanted to do, stage wise.
If I could have all of the great elements of the first game, but with the elements of Future that I loved, that'd be awesome. But, of course, that chance will never exist.
Dragon Quater was one of the other RPGs I was going to mention that actually tried to progress the genre, at least somewhat. And, of course, it too bombed.Quote:
(like Xenosaga, or really just about any PS2 Jap RPG except for Dragon Quarter).
Well, then, it shouldn't surprise you. *heh* Of course, most "Japanophiles" that I know hate that song also.Quote:
That was the worst shit ever. Nobody except Japanophiles like that garbage.
I actually had Tomba! 2 for quite awhile, but never really gave it much of a chance. If you say it's good, maybe I'll try it again.Quote:

The only thing JSRF has over JGR is the graphics.
The truth.Quote:
