Ugh, this is blah blah blah

Blah blah blah.

No, they're just easy. The only "difficulty" comes from bullshit moves like Javelin that are impossible to dodge and terrible AI.

Nah.

Are you saying Free Run doesn't make it easy?

I'm saying it makes it hard, and I don't use it because of that.

[Raijinili]

Blah blah blah.

BLAH BLAH BLAH YOU BLAH

Nah.

Yah.

jrpgs in general aren't very challenging games.

How the fuck does Free Run make it hard? Dodging anything becomes a joke with it.

Only if you make them that way.

Attacking anything becomes a joke with it.

I already said, I don't grind. I only fight things I run into. Actively trying to avoid all fights would get annoying and I can't live off generic plot and bad puzzles alone.

How so? If you're complaining about manual, yeah, Abyss manual is shit. I stuck with semi auto.

I said nothing about grinding.

[Raijinili]

I got the impression that you meant that "grinding" took the challenge out of most jrpgs.

There just isn't any by default usually.

Lies~

Being a huge Tales of Symphonia fan, I made a quiz entitled "Which Tales of Symphonia Character Are You?". It took some work and I think it's very accurate.

Here it is.

For the record, I'd be Kratos. Tell me what you think and what you got!

[Raijinili]

Well I liked ToP a lot. The DeJap version that is.
I thought it had a nice soundtrack.
A little too many random battles, but that is quickly alleviated with holy bottles.
The later tales games are better in that spell effects go off without stopping battle. Those constant stoppages got pretty annoying sometimes.
As for the story - I am a sucker for stories with anything involving time travel.

WE SEE YOUR POST, YOU DON'T HAVE TO POST IT TWICE.

I'M ZELOS, IM NOT TAKING YOUR QUIZ.

ALSO KRATOS IS THE CHARACTER I FEEL LEAST REPRESENTS YOU.

:(

SOMEBODY PLEASE TAKE IT.

[Raijinili]

:/

Yeah, you don't strike me as a Kratos.
Also, a number of those responses are pretty obvious. It's a little too easy to cheat.

[Raijinili]

I ended up with Regal, but because of the problem Tsuki wrote above, I was probably trying specifically to avoid answers that would lead me to the three characters I like most. :(

I find quiz things in general tend to be too obvious. So I don't tend to take them.
