I do agreed the first game was more memorable and better but I sunk around 160 hour playing the second game thanks to the far away forest dreamer maze which I got addicted to exploring it at the highest difficulty possible. I only put around 120 hour in the first game and I did platinum both Ni no Kuni 1 on the ps3 and 2 on the ps4. I hated that the third game ended up being an MMO and released only on mobile devices.

I hardly remember the characters, and what little I do remember about them is very vague. And there isn't a single town, city or dungeon that I can remember being particularly interesting or fun to explore. The game was just... boring.

I don't have any RPG regrets because RPGs aren't a genre that I buy games without looking at reviews first. In fact, I don't buy games on day one, I don't pre-order games, and I don't buy anything that I'm not absolutely sure I'll enjoy. Since RPGs tend to be longer games, I definitely don't jump into them blindly, even in well established series that I enjoy. I just don't have the money to waste on a game that I won't play and I don't have the time to push through a game that I'm not enjoying. Of the games on this list, I would probably give Ni Ni Kuni 2 and Tales of Zestiria a try. Maybe I can pick them up at a good price sometime in the future.

Valkyrie Profile is still pretty unique with its combo system. The only other game to even attempt it, that I can think of, is Indivisible. Barring that, I guess Xenogears and Legend of Dragoon had earlier input styles, but not with simultaneous party member attacks being a huge component of the combat. VP2 was a little sloppy with it, but it also added a monster break system for materials (iirc). Couldn't get into Covenant of the Plume being ungodly difficult. Valkyrie Elysium was disappointing just from the trailers. It looked a bit generic, and like it lost some of the core ideas of VP. Despite the awesome combat, VP also had a great story, and VP2's was still good/decent. I've been dying for a Hrist-focused game after VP2, but given where the story went it was unlikely to begin with. (I did hear rumors way back some time after VP2 that a Hrist-focused one was in development at one point, but... only unsubstantiated rumors).

I don't regret buying Zestiria because it gave me a lot of stuff to think about when making stories, and given I`m working to publish my own, it was a valuable investment. But it's sad that I have to use a Tales of game as an example of how not to write a story when all other Tales of titles I played were great in that regard. Alisha did not deserve anything that happened to her! Sorey and his friends are all hypocrites who would rather watch from the sidelines as their supposed friend is in need of help and moral support and then trash talk her behind her back instead of helping her clean the corruption in the government (which would prove beneficial for Sorey's mission of being essentially Jesus) and save lives! Rose was only able to become Sorey's partner because she had been possessed various times, which increased her sixth sense, proving that Alisha, who already had a strong sixth sense at the beginning of the game despite not having any connection to spirits, could have been trained to increase her powers and not be a burden on Sorey! Yet, nobody even entertains the idea of helping Alisha improve! And in the end, what was Alisha's happy ending? Become a corrupt politician! The knight princess that kickstarted the whole story by braving alone into unknown lands in search of the spirits to save her land, presenting Sorey and Mikleo with the opportunity to venture into the outside world and eventually become the Shepperd to cleanse the land of evil, the princess that alone decided to investigate the political corruption and successfully discovered shady trades happening between two warring countries to maintain their economies thus proving the whole ordeal was just a distraction for the population of the two sides to not pay attention to their rules, the princess that despite being overwhelmed by grief and despair of having her mother figure be revealed as an evil manipulator that merely raised her to be righteous and courageous just so she could beat her down and corrupt her morals when the time was right, THE GODDAMN Alisha who fought for justice until the very end despite her limitations and the entire world telling her to give up... ...and you are telling me her happy ending is to become a corrupt politician!? Zestiria is a terrible story!

To me everything about Zestiria is bad.

Story had a good buildup at first and then falls apart extremely fast, i was just interested in finishing the story as fast as possible after that.

Zestiria is actually one of my favorite games ever, but that's MOSTLY just because of Sorey. It wanted me to care WAY more about the Normins, the Lords of the Land, shop levels, and the whole skill system than I was willing to. Despite how much I love it, I still can't bring myself to defend the game as a whole simply because of those incredibly unintuitive mechanics. Very hard agree about Valkyrie Elysium, though. I didn't HATE it, but I got to the third region before finally realizing that the combat wasn't going to get ANY better. It controlled like a Musou game that wanted to cosplay as Devil May Cry.

I wanted to like Valkyrie Elysium myself, but I couldn't even beat the demo for it. There was a certain jump during the tutorial that I couldn't make for the life of me, and was convinced that I needed the wind to get across. Then I ran out of mana, and could not figure out how to regenerate it. I tried a few more times to jump that gap, but no luck. So I essentially soft-locked in the demo, and to me, that's a cardinal sin. Uninstalled, and haven't gone back to try again. Maybe I'm wrong, and just didn't have the technique right to get across, but no thanks. Don't want to go back to try again.

I know it's not a popular opinion, but I absolutely loved Valkyrie Elysium. Got it on release day, and even sprang for the steelbook edition from Best Buy, and don't regret the purchase in the least. Maybe it's because I didn't have any expectations going in, never having played any of the original titles, but I had a great time with it, and plan on replaying it again at some point. My big disappointment, at least recently, was Baldur's Gate 3. Bought it a few days after it launched on the PS5 due to all the hype and found I just wasn't enjoying myself. Played it about 6 to 8 hours and stopped. While I can see all the love and care that went into the game, it just wasn't for me, and I regret paying full price for a digital game which I'm now stuck with and can't do anything to help recoup my investment (which is another reason I stick primarily to physical games).

If you can get past the fanservice, Blue Reflection does come together with a solid story and good boss fights. Valkyrie Elysium, I agree. I found the whole thing felt like an overacted DC movie. I think the only decent character in the entire game was Hilde. I couldn't get in to Ni No Kuni. The lack of any persistence in the dungeons just irritated me to no end and killed it for me.

Valkyrie Elysium hurt so much! I love the Valkyrie series but that game was just insulting

I agree with you on Nino Kuni II; I tried it and just couldn't get into it, then quit after a few hours. And BOY we were going to have words on that last one, had you not pivoted!! 😅

I mean if it is, the only direction you can go is up. Just don’t base your entire thoughts on the tales series on this one game

Mission…accomplished? Sorry if it upset you. I love Ys 8 and wanted to be a little silly which was part of the reason I did that
