Know any games that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved?
For me, White Knight Chronicles is one such game. Released a few years into the PS3's lifespan in Japan and a couple more years after in the West, White Knight Chronicles was overshadowed by other JRPGs such as FFXIII and Valkyria Chronicles. Which is a shame, since it was actually a pretty good game. The game's story isn't anything ground braking, but it is serviceable enough. The combat system is kinda like a less automatic FFXII, which I liked quite a bit. I've noticed that I appreciate the soundtrack more now than when I first played the game. It gets bonus points for not being made by Motoi Sakuraba, who seems to single handedly make half the OSTs for JRPGs.
The game also has a pretty versatile character creator, although a bit strangely you don't make the main character, but rather a character who tags along for the whole story. The created character is also used in the game's online portion. Although the servers are no longer active, you can still play those missions solo. Obviously it's not gonna be nearly as fun on your own. Sadly the game only includes the English dub, which is probably my biggest complaint.
tl;dr White Knight Chronicles is a pretty good game that was overlooked partly due to its delayed release in the West.

Shaman King master of spirits 1 or 2, can't remember which one
It was a decent pseudo/semi-metroidvania (some interconnectedness between levels and maps, but still a level format with backtracking for secrets an whatnot)
The main appeal it had was the sheer amount of abilities you could pull off, and of course it being an animu game and all. Boss and enemy designs are solid, music is comfy.
The spirits though, the fact that there were even curayzee hidden combinations and shit (you could have up to 5 spirits in a 'deck' which basically determines your special abilities and move sets) was insane. It was fun to experiment and find shit and whatnot.

I'm going to have to disagree that it's a good game.
>story isn't anything ground braking, but it is serviceable enough
Not really. I've rarely seen a story in a game that's as paint by numbers as WKC. Not only did it do nothing new, it didn't try to put its own twist on any of the archetypes it used. It was completely and utterly forgettable, and that's the worst possible thing that can be said of a story.
>combat system is kinda like a less automatic FFXII
Another red flag for me as I hated FFXII's combat, but at least FF's combat was balanced. Meanwhile, in WKC, a double handed sword user could pump out 3x more damage as anyone but a magic user, in which case, the swordsman was doing 10x more in a fraction of the time. I usually don't give a rat's ass about balance in single player games, but WKC was so poorly balanced that I honestly felt like my experience was worse off than other players for going with magic. The few times I went online only magnified this feeling as I was literally the only magic user I ever saw, and with good cause.
>created character
This is a whole other level of stupid that only Sony could pull off. What most people don't know is that WKC was being made around the same time Capcom announced that they were jumping ship from the PSP to the 3DS for the next Monster Hunter game. Sony's top people collectively shit a brick and start trying to pump out game after game with an online aspect where you hunt large enemies to try to fill the MH void. Sony forced Level 5 to add this kind of online into WKC, and that's why the created character exists and why he has zero fucking relevance to the story.
If you like it, there's no accounting for taste, but there's a reason Sony release WKC2 with ninja stealth and canceled the third game in the series, and it's not because the game is an underappreciated gem.

White Knight Chronicles was not underappreciated. The combat SUCKED. And believe me, I was looking forward to this game more than anything else due to how it reminded me of Legend of Dragoon for a long time. It was the biggest letdown ever.
>>14564650
Folklore was definitely underappreciated though. I agree that it was one of the best instances of motion control usage. Though I do wish they had put a bit more effort into the way they told the story. You'd think motion comic panels would be tired out by that generation.

One of the very few RPGs I just could not stomach and finish, Blue Dragon, and Infinite Undiscovery (or something like that name) were the others. I've pretty much played most JRPGs since DQ1 and FF1 days as it was a good long distraction on the night shift. What I did not like especially about White Knight Chronicles was the use of space, it felt off and too spacious for too little substance. I liked the enemies and the battles were alright, but something about the MMO look really bothered me and I felt like I was really wasting my time when I could play a different game that would make me forget I was wasting my time. A middle of the road JRGP is much worse that a middle of the road FPS or diablo clone. JRPGs demand stellar story telling and mechanics and interesting side quests with discovery elements and secrets behind waterfalls. Some may like the game and that is fine, I don't hate it either, just odd that it was one of three games out of more than one hundred that lost me.

Wrong. Axe was king of DPS. Like really king. All other classes were subservient to axe. Mage had to supply healing and immunity for the axe user. Bow had to supply MP for the axe user. Spear had to do something as well, but I forgot what it was. If you brought something that didn't benefit axe like for example offensive mage or longsword chances are you'd get outright kicked from the group.
Shit got hilarious when players realized that bow could solo high level content and all the axe babbies collectively cried out in pain.

I would argue the lack of a Diva Room is one, although being the arcade game I can see why they wouldn't include it. X also had a lackluster one compared to the F games so they may be wanting to get away from that feature anyway. The difficulty spike around 8 star extreme also feels way too high.

Some of the absolute craziest boss fights in a third person shooter. This game also had some really fun level design despite the fact that most of them are flat and open there was a legitimate sense of creativity to how the enemies were placed inside of them at the time. The game would populate the levels organically with dropships and stealth was a legitimate tactic. This whole game was basically a one man guerilla war against an entire army of deceptions and it was fun creating new loadouts and trying to beat the levels in creative ways. This game was also hard as fuck.

Underappreciated doesn't mean great, so I don't have a problem with putting Tokyo Mirage Sessions forward. A lot of people, fans of SMT and fans of FE, are rightfully so thoroughly disappointed in the wasted potential of this game that they didn't even give it a chance or try to appreciate it for what it is rather than despise it for what it isn't. I agree, it's retarded that they got these two franchises together and they decided to make a Persona-lite idol RPG with a Fire Emblem coat of paint. But, for what it is, it's actually a pretty fun, albeit more casual version of Persona. The visuals are some of the best on the Wii U, most of the characters are shallowly likable, and the concept of an RPG focused around the entertainment industry is wholly unique (and as belabored as the performa shit is, you can see why). You could do worse if you want to play a modern turn-based RPG.
