Your problem with tales stems from your much much larger issues with JRPGS in general.[/quote]

No, it stems from Tales games being terrible, cliche ridden, unoriginal, boring, bland bad pieces of shit games. 

[quote]Tales has superior combat and characterisation to Final Fantasy.[/quote]

The only thing Tales has is its combat system and it's not even great at that. Tales is the JRPG series for people that think anime is the maturest form of story telling.

[quote]Dragon Quest is boring repetetive and stupid, people only like it because it's mildly self aware and not final fantasy.[/quote]

Dunno why you're bringing up Dragon Quest but any Dragon Quest game is better than any Tales game by a country mile. 

[quote]Phantasy Star isnt even worth mentioning but all those games suck.[/quote]

Phantasy Star 4 is a fantastic game.

[quote]Whats another JRPG? Skies of Arcadia? pfft.[/quote]

Any SMT game. Chrono Trigger/Cross. Suikoden 1, 2, and 5. Parasite Eve. Illusion of Gaia. The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door. Rogue Galaxy. Breath of Fire 2, 3, 4. Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. Grandia 1 and 2. Nier.

[quote]All Ace Combat games are good, they are too similar for any of them to stand out as bad, ditto for Ridge.[/quote]

I mean, if you can say Dragon Age is shit then I can just say Ace Combat and Ridge Racer are shit too. 

[quote]They made 3 red alerts which is 3 too many, stupid RTS for morons who like cable tv crap. [/quote]

I bet you thought the story was serious. While not as great as regular ass C&C, Red Alert is still great.

[quote]Calling Star Ocean mediocre is rich coming from someone who considers Syndicate Wars to be a superb game.[/quote]

Because it is? You know what game in the Star Ocean series people like? 2. Because it's the only one that isn't fucking dogshit. Syndicate Wars is great, with a great atmosphere and setting and mechanics that were solid in its day. Star Ocean is a bad series and somehow the newest one is even worse than 4. 

[quote]Soul calibur is a better fighting game than def jam.

[/quote]

Soul Calibur has had 5 games and they're all junk. Def Jam is hardly a fighting game, it's an action brawler like a wrestling game. If you wanna  say it's better than Def Jam Icon then yeah, but Icon is hot garbage.
