I know CT was a unique game for it's time,but then time passed and better rpgs were made and yet there are ppl who still consider CT to be one of the best of all time,I guess I just don't understand why...
Weapons with "type advantage/disdvantage" is nothing new. Targeting system (target different body parts) is also nothing new. Switching between a story and combat mode is again nothing new. Mind to elaborate what is supposed to be "unique" on that game?Porygonal said:lol,VS IS unique because what other game can you name that is like that...?There sure wasn't a game like that then and probably not even now.Atleast the gameplay is something DIFFERENT rather than than games that just wanna play like FF clones with a few differences here and there,but not enough to make a difference... And I never had a problem with the lvling system in Oblivion,nor the character jobs.I made my custom job and it worked fine for me and the other things you complain about just seem minor to me... And how can you say VS is cliched when mostly EVERY rpg is gunna have you killing dragons... I don't see what the big deal is.
Dragonlord said:VS had boring game mechanics. After a couple of places you've seen the game mechanics and there is nothing interesting to it. In fact it gets annoying to do type-book-keeping and swapping weapons constantly to improve type advantage. The targeting system is annoying too and gives nothing except cramps. Story itself doesn't hook one too. So overall while playable and perhaps enjoyable by some it's sub-par at best. One of the games I had been happy to have gone from my desk as fast as possible. Granted the Pkmn and company have not great game mechanics but VS doesn't send something new, unique (sorry, it's simply not unique, no matter how much you try to stake that claim) nor interesting, especially in the long run. So it's on the same level as the others.
Ah... nearly forgot... why VS cliché? Whenever somebody builds a game around killing dragons he gets an insta-cliché tag issued from me

Really...?Because I've never played a game like it,and I loved it.I don't see what you have against it at all and it may have a few set backs but so does EVERY game... And even if it does,it still deserves more praise than the FF7,CT,and Pokemon(or any other overrated rpgs),although those are good games too.
And alot of people like Oblivion and may even consider it one of the best rpgs... So maybe I should exclude that one... But still,what you're complaining about is minor and maybe you just didn't have the patience for it,I dunno.I really had no problem with it.
QUOTEEverything you say here i totally disagree with. If anything despite it's sales and generally good reception, Vagrant Story is one of those games that many don't feel is a great game because it's not a simple and easy to play RPG like the Final Fantasy series. Whilst it garnered great reviews in the main, i'd say if anything Vagrant Story is under-rated by gamers.
Name a similar game that is as good as, or better than CT. Every time someone says there are better games in that style, they always drop the ball at naming specifics.QUOTE said:And how can you say VS is cliched when mostly EVERY rpg is gunna have you killing dragons...
Uh, I think you just defined "Cliche" with that sentence, actually.
