Poll of the Day > Interested in a few games on sale in the Big in Japan sale...anyone have opinion

(+) Yeah! (+)

s on these?

Final Fantasy Type 0
.Hack//G.U. 1-4
I am Setsuna
Kingdom Hearts Remind
AI: The Somnium Files
Star Ocean 1, 3-5
The last remnant
Zero escape: nonary games

Only ones I've played are .hack//G.U. 1-3, and Star Ocean 1 & 3. I'd say they're all worth getting (at least if SO1 is based off the PSP version).

Is Star Ocean 2 not part of this sale? Or do you have that one already?

.Hack//G.U. 1-4

Good, but expect grindy side quest stuff if you want to 100%. They were originally released separately and they put in boring filler so people had something to do while waiting. This version cuts down on some stuff, but still need to work on doing everything required before moving to the next game if you want a completed save.

I am Setsuna is a great JRPG if your were a fan of square games during the PS1 era

I've luckily gotten out of the habit of needing complete saves. I used to 100% or close everything I did, and then eventually I got to a point I would get all the collectibles and sidequests I could and didn't beat the games because I was over-leveled and it was dull, but I think I have a sweet spot now where I focus on the main game and do an occasional sidequest.

Ai:Somnium files is a really cool mystery VN/game but unfortunately the ultimate solution to the mystery is a lot weaker than just about every other theory that ended up being wrong. I still think it's worth a play. The writing is solid, the somnium puzzles are silly but fun, and a lot of the characters are really enjoyable.

The Zero Escape games are absolutely fantastic.

Type-0 is okay. Below average for a FF game but still alright. Iirc you get different story stuff upon replay also so theres that. And was neat to see whats probably the strongest summon in the series. Wish more were on that scale of power.

Would advise against Star Ocean 5 though. First game in the series for me to see if i liked it and i dont think ill play another now. Even fans of the series dont seem too happy with it though. Definitely look into it yourself before buying.
