Well I won't give them all the credit for DQVIII, because they don't deserve it. Plus I don't like DQ so this means nothing to me.

Rogue Galaxy, like pretty much all thier rpgs is style over any substance. It's a terrible game with great graphics. Really ho-hum and lame story with pretty bad gameplay that goes on far too long. It may have it's fans, but I doubt it has ever been considered a jrpg classic and for good reason.

Outside of that they have made the terribly frogetable White Knight Chronicles that did'nt even have decent graphics to make up for how medicore everything else was. Not a notable character in sight and the most boring timing based mmo like combat ever.

And Ni No Kuni is hardly anything either. Ounce you look past the great graphics you have something very vapid. Something trying to mimic a ghibli movie, but couldn't if it really tried. And jesus again the gameplay might as well not exsist thanks to how shallow and easy it is.

Lets not talk about what they did to Gundam.

I'm not the target group of IE, nor do I care about the subject material, so I've never played them. Layton is a puzzle game, so I don't care.

As an jrpg developer I find them incredibly overrated and pretty terrible. I would'nt miss them at all.

No, but they have tricked me into playing their terrible jrpgs and somehow made the world believe they were hot crap. But hey these past two years have been pretty terrible for them so hopefully people start seeing them in a new light. Only other jrpg developer I hate more is Gust for peddling everything I hate about Japan, but I get that I'm just not that audience.

It's pretty crazy they basically made a Ghibli game and it somehow bombed twice.

Suing Level 5 is such a wrong move consider new game makers are doing better than they are. Like everyone else pointed out is as stupid as Apple suing Samsung, and pay back is a bitch. Umm..No. They aren't just making games. And they are worth $20 billion.

Sega died eons ago; at least its game console did, But the Sega games never caught up with Play Station when Dream Cast faded out of the market. It's still making money from its grave, and so it decided to sue for more. Patent copyright can last for so long,

So, instead of killing your dog, they made games everybody liked but you... and Gust made games not for you. I think that sums it all up.

The newest development in this case is Level-5's statement that the first Inazuma Eleven game came out in 2008, but Sega's first patent was granted in 2009, and so they do not believe there is any violation. In addition, such a use has gained widespread use throughout the industry and so the lawsuit could restrict game developers. That's why Level-5 intends to fight it out in court.

It'll get settled out of court.
