Are there any good JRPGs like Ni No Kuni for the 3DS?

One of the worst games in the Tales series (not counting all the side games). ...pretty terrible IMO as far as RPG's go (character, story, writing, etc) Though I only played it on the PS2

Both character and story wise I found the game to be a bit better than Symphonia. There was a lot more character development and the smaller cast of characters allowed for more focused stories for each. The story is nothing amazing, but I found it better and more original than ToS. The combat and graphics are a bit dated but that's to be expected for a game that was released on PS2. The game is actually one of my favorite Tales games. It doesn't have as much charm as ToS and is a bit less challenging overall, but I still thought it was a great game.

WORST LEAD EVER...well this side of Squall (FF8) anyways. He 'broke' the entire experience for me. First half of the game he is an annoying, whiny little b*tch. Fine. He is terrible. I can accept that, [spoiler] then all of a sudden, in a matter 15 minutes, he suddenly 'matures' in the most unbelievable of fashions...so worst lead ever followed by worst character development ever, hyperbole aside. [/spoiler] The combat was good...same as all tales games. Don't care about the graphics either way...so long as they are at least SNES level quality. Many of the others characters were good to very good. But, for me, the 'lead' is what makes or breaks an RPG (unless it is a game like FF12 where there is no true lead). I take each game's era into consideration when rating them. The only one I rate worse is Legendia (have not played ToS2...nor have I got a chance to play Vesperia as I don't have an xbox) I rate Symphonia, Phantasia, Eternia, Destiny above it (once again taking era into consideration)

It was different from almost every other game where the lead is a stereotypical "I'm going to save the world!" character. Yeah I hated his guts, but that was part of the fun, not to mention you don't actually have to play as him if you don't want to. I guess it was kind of refreshing to have a character with, well, character. Lloyd was so boring and all he did was spew idealist crap the entire game, he had no character what so ever.[QUOTE="rawsavon"]
