Tendo City

This game appears to be continuing the tradition of SNES/GBA-esque style RPG's but it looks very colorful and I'm hoping the US gets to see what it's all about.

It's in Japanese, so you'll have to run it through Babelfish for an even poorly translated version. Sounds like themes from many SNES RPG's as I've said before. Take a look, draw your own conclusions.(Other than of course the decidedly primitive AC-esque graphics)

It looks to me like an ugly looking Animal Crossing clone. I would like to try it though since RPG fans such as myself have been starved by Squaresoft this gen. Hopefully Nintendo and Squaresoft could get thier act together and announce an official sequel to Mario RPG and not give us some crap substitute like a Paper Mario sequel.

An ugly Animal Crossing clone...

It looks more like a cel-shaded Paper Mario, just with a different graphical style...

I think I just saw a ghost, or the core code behind this thing...

I JUST SAW SOMETHING VERY SCARY AFTER LOADING THIS THREAD!

I'm not sure what happened, but after this thread loaded normally, it suddenly shifted and I was looking at all the posts here organized in some listing with some very important looking options and stuff. It was very weird, but when I refreshed it went back to normal.

Paper Mario is an awesome game.

No kidding...I'd rather see that than a sequal to any other game. That, and a Chrono Cross sequal. (come on Square...put Break out very, VERY soon!).

Yeah... a third Mario RPG game would be great. Paper Mario was a really fun game... I would definitely like to see a sequel.

paper mario was one of the best N64 games, and one of the bets RPG's i've ever played. the battle system was so well though out, it still boggles my mind. staus effects like stun and poison, especially poison, were useful for the first time in any RPG i've ever played...and they were VERY useful, and often critical to defeating certain baddies.

i just wish that there were cooler spell effects...and more spells...just because those are pretty.

Hey big guy, you should actually get around to playing Pokémon some time if you want important status effects. Playing the main game isn't challenging at all, since all you need is strength for pretty much every foe, but when it comes to competing in multiplayer, you BETTER have some monsters with some decent status altering moves! Paralysis is VERY important in many movesets, for it slows the enemy down by a large amount, and of course randomly causes them to freeze up for a turn. Poisoning is also a very important thing in many movesets. Ones that boost your own stats are also super important, like whole parties of monsters with baton pass on each one and some stat boosting abilities, resulting (if the first few survive enough to baton pass) in a super strong monster at the end of the chain with all sorts of attack moves.
