So Dark Souls 2 didn't show up yesterday in the mail from Gamefly, but it should be here today. So I had some time, and didn't really want to load up Destiny, so I loaded up the D5 demo. Was curious, after so many in this thread said it was so good, or really enjoyed it.
I thought the story was pretty amusing, and fun! I love how the penguin "prinnies" are like all stoners. Duuuddee! lol. My issue is that I find games where you have to move your whole team one by one, tedious, so I didn't enjoy that part of it. Oh well, was worth a shot!

Bummer D5 didn't click for you. Really, really hoping Dark Souls 2 turns into your new obsession, because if it does you'll sure as hell find it worth your while to grab the first one (get it for PC, ps3 version can be pretty rough and there's no PS4 remaster) and Bloodborne, giving you potentially hundreds of hours of gaming bliss.

Any good guides on how to get the classes you want in Last Remnant and what leaders/soldiers are best for them out there? The wiki has a ton of information but I have to open like 12 different pages and try to digest it all. Need something consolidated.

Did you see this Class Guide on GameFAQs? I only have like 5 hours in TLR from like 2 years ago so nothing makes sense to me, but maybe to you it will.

Whenever I'm looking for a guide, especially on older games, I hit up gamefaqs first. Reddit has a pretty decent amount of information but the sheer amount of noise is just bothersome to wade through most of the time, whereas you just get information (when people bother to make guides) from gamefaqs.

Dragon Quest VIII is fantastic. It probably is the best of the series (though I never played V, VI, or VII). It's just a very well done game with lots of extras. It pays homage to the classic Dragon Quest games while still having a decent story.

DQVIII is indeed awesome, but VII is the one I'm most excited for. Iirc it was released at the very end of the PS1's lifespan and I'd already switched to PC elitism, so I missed it. Now that I'm 30 and old I just play whatever, so a PS1 game on a 3DS is something that excites me just as much as XCOM 2.
Is this the thread where I shill Lost Odyssey for story and soundtrack reasons? It's traditional turn-based, random encounter RPG style of gameplay (making combat a little slow), but I thought the overall aesthetics were fantastic.
I also thought DQVIII's story was slightly better than IX's, though they both were roughly equal combat wise. I really liked the work Level-5 did to breathe life into the genre via character/class development (though IX handled it better, imo). Alchemy and "better medicine" was a godsend in both cases.
Really wish they would port VII's 3DS remake to NA/EU. I loved VII partly because it was so damn long (a good 60 hours on main scenario) and kept me occupied with class build-up, especially once Slime Island came along for class credit while farming Gold Slimes. =(

Fantastic story, very fun to play, though marginal soundtrack, and absolutely horrendous implementation of turn-based random encounter RPGs where it takes 20-30 seconds to load a fight, pan the camera around until you can actually get to start issuing commands. Completely would have been solved with a no encounter ring, but noooooooooo can't have that. It's not so bad in the beginning but becomes awful with a full party.
LO was a great game, but from a technical level, it's combat was one of the most poorly implemented turn based combat systems on the planet. I managed to 1,000 that game though because the story was so engaging, that I didn't mind playing through it multiple times to get that annoying treasure trove achievement.

I might restart that way. It's not very cool to have to use melee anyway because I ran out of spell casts.
