BadAstronaut posted:Great news about Fire Emblem! DQ7 is a really episodic game (moreso than any other DQ game), and I think that'll work much better on a portable system. We won't really know much for sure until it comes out in two weeks (in Japan) though.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Maybe I really should check out Kid Icarus. I just can never find handheld games locally for less than full price, and a full price 3DS game here is almost the same as a console game. KH 3D... I'd have to wait to get it cheap. RE Revelations is also being ported to literally everything that isn't the Vita, so if you'd rather play it on your PC/360/Wii U/PS3, you might wanna wait on it.

Lbeuol posted:Well I got the idea to buy a console when I found some of my old Playstation 2 games in storage. The 3 I remember the most are Final Fantasy Tactics, Persona 2, and Valkyrie Profile. I also saw that there's a sequel to Guardian Heroes from Sega Saturn on the 3DS, I remember having fun playing that with my brother when I was really young. There's actually a Valkyrie Profile SRPG on the DS you may want to look into. You also might be interested in the Devil Survivor series.

Kilometers Davis posted:So how good is Denpa Men really? I tried the demo and loved it and I'd like a good rpg to have on my 3DS. Searching around and finding things in real life seems like a cool aspect too. It's pretty much more of the same. The locations are blandly cute and it gets really challenging later on. It's only ten bucks, so you might as well take the dive.

GrandpaPants posted:I haven't been following Dragon Quest 7's development, but did they say that they were rebalancing the game? I never played the original on the PS1, but I remember people saying it was grindier and more tedious than other DQ's, and a remake is probably a good time to adjust difficulty. I had no issues with any of the other released DQ games on the DS, but I wasn't sure if their difficulty was also adjusted or what. Yeah, they made a bunch of changes. The intro dungeon that everyone whined about was removed, jobs level up faster, jobs get different skills (hybrid skills have been reshuffled to just be regular skills a class learns too), shards are easier to track down, etc, etc. Also Dragon Quest 7 is one of the best Dragon Quests.

Was a very nice run, but I'm not sure how many times I can play through the same 3 maps. There's a different ending and roughly a whole chapter's worth of new locations to visit.

Policenaut posted:Can anyone tell me how Harvest Moon 3D and Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D are as well? The eShop videos for HM3D kind of make it look like a more open, customizable version of HM but with Animal Crossing only months away I'm getting the feeling I should just wait for that. You should just wait on Animal Crossing. Harvest Moon is... Harvest Moon. It's slightly more goal-oriented than previous games, and I think having characters move to town as you build buildings is a neat idea to keep thing fresh for a bit longer, but ultimately it's still a Harvest Moon game and it'll wear out its welcome. Also it was released by Natsume so it has the typical quality localization you've come to expect.

Dewgy posted:Actually sounds fun, and for five bucks I really don't give a poo poo if it's not perfect. Honestly the soundtrack is worth the price of admission alone. Genpei Turtle posted:Doesn't sound like anyone's heard of Fantasy Life unfortunately, though it's apparently insanely popular in Japan. From what I gather it seems like it's somewhat similar--you create an avatar then are dumped in a freeform world where you master jobs that are either combat- or crafting-related. How similar that is to Harvest Moon though I dunno since I've never played any of those games. The only stuff I've heard about Fantasy Life is that apparently saving/loading takes forever.

SatansBestBuddy posted:So, I wandered into the eShop for the first time in a few months and noticed there were at least three Level 5 games in there, two of which are on sale right now, and I was wondering if any of them are worth it? I'm particularly interested in that Suda51 game, I didn't know he'd made a 3DS game. If you're interested in Liberation Maiden (the Suda51 game) get it. It's pretty short, but it's worth the sale price.

Flumpus posted:So, having played Persona 3, should I expect similar gameplay? Is it as much a social game as Persona is? Or more a traditional JRPG? It doesn't have the social elements of Persona, it's more of a traditional JRPG. There are similarities in the gameplay (you're rewarded for hitting enemy weaknesses, you fuse demons together to create new allies), however. Your AI-controlled human allies in SMT4 may gently caress you over in battle, so that should be comforting to P3 players. OatmealRaisin posted:I thought the mainline SMT games were tactics games? Nope, they're regular RPGs.
