    Freedom Wars sounds interesting but I've tried God Eater and one of the things that turned me off from that game was the camera, you have to adjust it constantly.

    I was considering trying Monster Hunter for the 3DS (it doesn't suffer from difficult camera does it?) but I heard it's really hard. Neither problems I want to put up with when playing an action-RPG. Speaking of difficult RPGs.

     

     

    Persona Q aka Etrian Odyssey with Persona skin. From what I've seen it really does look like a combination of both games. There's the first person dungeon crawling, map drawing, F.O.E and boost system from EO and the press turn system and social links from Persona.

     

    I have a feeling I'm going to like this game more than the main Persona games since Q won't have constantly changing rooms and everyone can change personas, not just the main protagonist. I've played both EO Untold and P4 so I mostly know what to expect.

     

    Persona Q for the 3DS comes out November 25, 2014 in the US, 28 in the EU.

    Tales of Hearts R for the PS Vita. Developed and published by Namco.

     

     

    If you're familiar with the Tales series, you already know what to expect (Tales never really strays far from its core formula). For those unfamiliar, this game is an action-RPG that's basically a shounen anime in game form (cliches included). The battle mechanics feel like a fighting game, actions done through button input rather than menu selection, although you could change the settings mid-battle. You're in control of one character while the others are handle by A.I. which can also be adjusted mid-battle. Usually the focus is on character development but the plots are pretty interesting too when you break it down piece by piece.

     

    US release is November 11, 2014. It will probably go for $39.99.

    Not playing it, per say, but I am excited for the new Digimon game that looks like it's Digimon World 2 x Persona 4.

    I don't have a Vita, but if it gets ported to English then I'd def consider getting one for it as well as Re:Digitize.

     

    Also, I'm up to the part in FFX where you fight Seymour for the 3rd time. Fucking fuck this is just as hard as the first time I played it. Guess I need to grind since I don't know any 3rd-tier black magic / white magic spells yet.

    About the Seymour fight, I beat him by spamming the Aeon's Overdrive. After five Overdrives, it's just a quick beating and the battle is over. Of course that's the cheap way to win.

     

    I've been thinking about getting a Castlevania game or Megaman ZX since I heard those play like a Metroid game.

    Action packed and in your face songs, atmospheric and emotional songs, haunting and tense songs, experimental and unique songs.

    Really, I just like music that feels complete, solid, where everything in the track works and compliments each other.

    As for vocals, meh, I can tolerate a lot but I prioritize the instrumental over vocals since even the best singer out there can still bore me with a textbook ballad.

    I think your seeing a shift in what people like nowadays. VK used to be the big thing when it came to music from japan. But you see more and more that non-vk japanese bands are gaining popularity (one ok rock, coldrain..even scandal). Also the copyright part plays a huge part, but it is kinda strange. That VK bands do have copyright crap on youtube but bands like one ok rock and scandal post there own PV's on youtube...So I believe the record labels are indeed destroying any chance most VK bands have at gaining an international fanbase around the world. Because be fair, would you by a cd of a band if you can't find anything about them on the internet? Not give them one listen?

    I've noticed that as well that non-VK bands are getting more recognition from foreign fans (those same bands too and a few others like SPYAIR and sakanaction). There is a shift in what people are looking for, the teens of the 10s aren't into what the teens of the 00s were into (some exceptions of course).

    I love JRPGs, does that count as a good thing?

     

    I like the fact that Japanese has ways of writing; kanji, katakana, hiragana, and romanji. I find this to be very helpful and creative and it helps that some cases like manga and video games, kanji have furigana attached to them so you can pronounce that kana without going through a whole book of kanji.
