[April] What are you playing?

[mojo1701]

It was a change of pace from crappy Final Fantasy games (which have not been good since V for all I can tell (I never played VI)).

It's III, damn it!

It's III, damn it!

I get confused with the U.S. vs Japanese numbering. I played the one that was III here. I'm not actually sure if that is V or VI, Japanese numbering. So, which ever of those it was, it was the last one I liked.

All signs point to no.

While we don't have an official public date to the contrary yet, I can at least sort of hint that the signs to which you are referring may not be entirely accurate.

FFIV(j) - two here is probably my favoirte game of all time. I did like VI/III very much, and Chrono Trigger as well.

As far as recent non-japanese console RPGs go, I have heard great things about The Bards Tale...

I would love to know where you come by that tidbit. It's quite the scoop if there's anything to it. Bioware has said from day one that Jade Empire was never intended for the PC crowd.

 

[takyris]

I have no hard evidence available to share. I'm just suggesting that "all signs point to no" may not be entirely accurate. Even after saying on the website that it was intended as an X-Box-exclusive product, the official folks went on to say that if it did very well and there was interest from Microsoft in a PC version, that that could be something that might happen down the line.

 

[Greylock]

Ah, I think I might have seen that. Oh well. Then it would be far, far down the road.

 

[Agamon]

If I had time, this is what I'd like to be playing:

God of War
Resident Evil 4
Jade Empire
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Winning 11 2
Gran Turismo 4
Sims 2
Halo 2
Farcry

 

[Jeremy Ackerman-Yost]

It was VI.

Which begs two questions:

1) Was V as good?

2) They went from the brilliance of that game to the craptastitude of VII in just one game?!
