I just wonder if ME3 will be a proper mix of ME1 and 2 (i.e. good action yet plenty o good exploration and RPG elements)

I got Knights in the Nightmare but one thing keeping me away from it so far is the tutorials. They are so long and complex. You know when you're in that moment you want something a little less innovating ? But I'll get to it.
The tutorials are confusing and they turned me off at the onset as well, but once I got into the main missions, it was a lot more fun. But trust me, you'll want to review the tutorials if you want to do well. Just try to keep at it, IMO, it's worth it.

I like the whole spectrum to be honest. That's mostly because I like to enjoy a game for it's strengths and have a little give for the weaknesses. If it has a deep complex and well-thought-out story, that's great. If the story is simple but engaging and the gameplay's fun, also great. If the story is nothing special but it has other strengths, it's still great. I really can't prefer one over the other.
EDIT: Curse my poor reading comprehension skills.
I prefer a more Light-hearted (I wouldn't call those "lite", though) stories with lots of comic relief, since laughing is fun and heals the soul. I do like the rest of the spectrum, too, but light-hearted is always preferred.

OK, I know what you're talking about now. Yeah, that's not exactly typical of the game and I don't think I would call it an 'environmental hazard'.
Well, I remembered it as a random encounter because it was so random.=P And to be fair, the last time played the demo was 2 years ago, and my memory is pretty poor. Still, sorry I made such a fuss over it.^_^;

The evironmental hazards alone in Vesperia ruined it for me, so I didn't even have time to learn the intricacies before I quit.
I have no idea what you're talking about... *Encounter by a plant thing where now you get attacked at random by a plant when you're fighting other monsters. ????????????????????? I dunno what to call it. I only played the demo and I recall getting attacked by some plant thing which drove me up the wall. Maybe it was only in the demo or on that one stage, who knows. I just know I lost all interest after that. Maybe I'll check out the demo again and see what it's called. Yeah...the demo boss. I honestly have more trouble/deaths with him than most bosses in the game for some reason (excluding hard modes and boss missons). DIfficult fucker, I hate him everytime. Yeah, and those BillyJeats don't help. Well, they do, but it's rare and hard to do. With that said, playing the demo again helped. I didn't get as frustrated with it this time around, so I might get the real deal somewhere down the line.

I see that Wild Arms FX is currently on sale. I might pick it up once I find out how similar it is to Jeanne d'Arc, since I lost that game and now I'm looking for a cheap replacement. It's not my fault people like Gen Eric Gui and Jimmy step in and make unprovoked attacks against me and my work. They are the ones deliberately derailing the thread by starting arguments about irrelevant subjects. I don't believe I'm breaking any board rules by replying to them. If the mods didn't like it they would have deleted his posts already.
And yet you continue with it, and had chosen to go along with the argument even though it was off topic. I know if it were me, I would've ended it a long time ago, probably by saying "This really isn't the place for this discussion, lets continue it elsewhere".

So, I played a bit of Valkyrie Profile 2 yesterday, and I was surprised how much I liked it. The story's gripping at the onset, even if the cutscenes are still too long, and the gameplay is deep, challenging, and a lot of fun now that I finally got the hang of it. I still haven't grasped 100% of the Battle system, and the platforming still kinda sucks, but overall I'm enjoying it this time around.

Aww, I noticed no one here has played Ogre Battle 64, have they? I was just about to ask for some comparisons, but I should probably Finish Ogre Battle: MotBQ first, anyways.
I'm currently playing OB64 again - and have played MotBQ about a dozen times (it's a thing, really). I won't say too much about Ogre Battle 64 though, as I'll be publishing a review on the site sometime eventually. What kind of comparisons are you looking for? I still prefer MotBQ, but I'm a biased source. OB64 has a few more character classes, a few new wrinkles, but still has the fun real-time / turn-based strategy RPG feel of the first. If you like one, by all rights, you'll probably like the other. A super-fun game, in my book. That's really all I needed to know, thank you.=)
