[quote name="Damocles"][quote name="K. Thor Jensen"] it's maybe the worst console RPG i've ever played. graphics? holy god gorgeous. gameplay? like hitting yourself in the face with a hammer made out of nails. you have to do this weird slot machine/roulette wheel thing ALL THE TIME. wanna open a door? SPIN THE WHEEL! wanna do a special attack? SPIN THE WHEEL? wanna turn off your PS2 and go outside and have 50 beers? A GOOD IDEA. <a href="http://www.shortandhappy.com">ktj</a>[/quote] Saga Frontier=nonlinearity taken to a painful extreme, damned pretty, and the most boring "main" character ever. (Blue sucked. Badly.) Saga Frontier 2=linear, absolutely GORGEOUS, uninspiring characters, incredibly annoying method of learning special moves (duel system), weapons break every fifteen seconds. (No doubt where the SS2 designers got the idea.) (...and yet, according to everybody I've ever talked to, the earlier games were fantastic. What the hell happened?) [/quote]
