I’ve never thought of that honestly. I could figure out how to do that.
I like to put them on a wheel and choose what I play that way. I do it for every Castlevania since I can never choose
2nd disc sucks
I think the combat's mediocre imo
Nice Selection of games need to try the Tales games personally.
Dragon Quest 6 deserves a little more respect from the general gaming public, I agree with this post though good points given for each game in the series.
The Persona 2 Duology has much worse gameplay than Xenogears, let's be honest.
I'm an Xenogears disc 2 apologist, but I respect your opinion (you being a Persona 4/5 fan is a Massive L though
)
Respectfully disagree, because at least Persona 2 has different battle mechanics like the turn order, fusion attacks, and the negotiation system, whereas Xenogears only really has its combos. This is not a defense for the abysmal encounter rate or the fact that fusion cards suck and make getting other Personas nigh useless though.
Yeah I noticed you would disregard good gameplay just for story.The Persona 2 Duology has much worse gameplay than Xenogears, let's be honest.

The mech battles are cool though
Boosted, I also recommend GameCube Tales of Symphonia. The later ports have a bit of extra content but the GameCube version also runs at a full 60 FPS. It’s the only version to do so, so if anyone cares for speed and stability, there ya go
In concept yeah, but gameplay wise it’s kinda confusing imo. I was just spamming the first mech battle I got into because the mechanics were a bit weird. Threw me off a bit. I do have to admit that I may not have a complete opinion on those because the last time I was playing Xenogears was on a Steam Deck, and I got to the cave before something horrible happened that killed the data on all the games I had emulated on there (the SD card fell out). Many were inconsequential but losing the Xenogears and SMT IV data HURT
None of which matters since it's so easy. In the end the battles are just a nuisance to put up with. Xenogears' battles were entertaining enough to me for most of the game, and only really got stale later on when I stopped getting new combos for a long stretch. The real flaw with Xenogears IMO is the dungeons are too damn long, which is partly mitigated by the fact that there aren't that many dungeons. But those sewers especially should have been half as long at most.
Innocent Sin is quite literally one of the most brain-dead games I've ever played. Eternal Punishiment is definitely better since that game isn't incredibly easy to the point of being boring, but even the difficulty of Eternal Punishiment comes from the fact that unlike Innocent Sin you're forced to change your Persona relatively constantly and the bosses in the game are all damage sponges. At least Xenogears, even though it's a pretty easy game, I find much more fun compared to the Persona 2 duology since it doesn't have incredibly shitty mechanics like Demon Negotiation (which is way worse when compared to other Megami Tensei games thanks to the Fusion Cards) and Fusion Cards.
They all do matter, since Innocent Sin’s encounters are so frequent it helps to know the turn order in the case that you may have forgotten to restore your HP. Fusion attacks also make the fights way quicker except for bosses which is helpful since nothing puts up a good enough fight anyway. They also look cool but tbh that one just applies to both cases.
True but also counterpoint: motorcycle noises is hilarious no matter the situation /j
I agree, the Fusion Attacks are by far the best thing about the Persona 2 duology in terms of gameplay, I think they're even better than the All-Out Attacks of the modern games in the Persona series (since there are several types of Fusion Attacks, unlike the All-Out Attacks, which are all basically the same).
I agree with this, when I was just taking a look at the series, I thought AoAs were SO COOL.
And? you gonna review the game based on the 2nd disc? i suppose you are smarter than this. 2nd disc is not bad, it was rushed.
Breath of Fire 3 combat is not bad (I mean, it's basic as shit; at least Xenogears has got combos, which makes the game less repetitive), but aren't you going to mention the exaggerated enemy encounter rate? Breath of Fire generally suffers from this, but especially 3.
and it sucks, I suppose you are smarter than this.
