Gaming RPGs on the wii?!?

[Bladexdsl]

monster hunter pretty much IS a MMORPG and you get the most fun from it playing online with others yes you can go online

I think Baroque is an RPG

 

[Bladexdsl]

i wouldn't even mention Baroque though

one piece seems nice as well.but do you level up in that one?
No level as of Player level, but only Player's skill.
each time you use a skill, you train it, and unlock better one. there's 8 playable characters. It's more adventure games than RPG. You have to find a lot of items, mix them together to create new one opening new locations, etc., you have to come back later at different place, like a metroid game.

opoona wtf? Yeah, what's wrong ?

It's colorful, and with childish graphics, but it's a real RPG, with battles/exp/level/story.
Many people don't like it though, just try it and make your own thought.

yes I know of the undubed version but sadly I didn't search around much and now I have the standard english version.

It's better dubbed tbh.
Since only minor roles are truly crappy, it's 100% better to have the characters talk out their lines.
Might as well mute the volume if you'd use the undub version instead.

well I played valhalla knights today and it really seems like a great game!
reminds me an awful lot of monster hunter but the fact that the character progression is shaped like a western RPG is enough to look past its flaws.
does it have split screen co-op or is it only wi-fi?

yes... a bad one

 

[xhypertensionx]

Dude.. how can ToS:2 be your favorite RPG of all time?


It was GOOD, but no TOS. TOS was the best. You HAVE played it.. right?

 

[dysan]

yes I've played TOS1 and it was awesome as well

but something about TOS2 made me love it to a new level...I'm pretty sure it was because of emil and marta's love story

you got to really love and tie in with the characters since you used them all of the time
THAT is why TOS2 is the best and most memorable JRPG I've ever played
notice the J
ofcourse my favourite RPG isn't japanese but as far as japanese RPGs go then yeah,TOS2 is my favourite

on-topic: played a bit more of valhalla knights over the past few days and I absolutely LOVE its system and everything that has to do with the gameplay(so far!)
but the graphics and sound really kill the game...I wasn't expecting me to say that!
everything is grey in this game , NO EXCEPTIONS!
the only way you can determine if the thing in front of you is a wall or an enemy is because the enemies are slightly greyer and tend to make noises
if the graphics were clearer and more colourful this would have been an instant classic!

played rune factory:frontier as well which I like very much

but isn't there some way to make a special attack or something for each of the tools?
I remember the DS has speciall actions where you watered everything around and didn't have to about watering everything individually...isn't there something in the WII version?

I don't get why it's so difficult to just get some more traditional JRPGs onto the Wii.
They often do quite well at least. But instead, we get loads of random RPGs: few decent, most terrible.

I mean, I can only think of Monster Hunter Tri, ToS, Arc Rise Fantasia, and a couple others as being acceptable. Everything else is pretty much.. terrible so to speak.

What puzzles me is that most of the good RPG are either on PS2/PS3 or Xbox 360. Really. RPG is not about graphic you know.

Of course. Graphics are the last thing that should be on RPG players' minds.

I'm guessing that's part of the reason why developers don't bother with RPGs on the Wii- the graphical restrictions.
I mean, you have a good idea for a game, but then you stop and think.. "oh, the Wii can't handle it".

Monster Hunter Tri, Super Mario Galaxy, and many other games have great graphics.
Even Arc Rise Fantasia could've been good if a couple nicks here and there were touched up on.

 

[RE4zombie]

Virtual console has all the classic RPGs. final Fantasy 1+2 all the phantasy stars, and Super Mario RPG are all on there.

 

[Bladexdsl]

and snes9x has even more

 

[Gvaz]

Yeah, I wish there were more typical rpgs like maybe in the Tales style or Grandia for rpgs

 

[CarbonX13]

There aren't many RPG titles that are released on the Wii. Monster Hunter Tri is recommendable, as with Arc Rise Fantasia (though you should probably go for the Japanese edition if possible, the North American version is terrible). I also recommend Muramasa: The Demon Blade, though it isn't too much of an RPG, more of an Action-Adventure side scroller with RPG elements, but it's easily one of the best third-party titles out there.

 

[dysan]

if only wii had ps2 emulators...

 

[1Player]

I too would like to see more RPG on the wii
