    A rpg for xbox 360 with decent hot-keying

    Its gonna be some time till i get a pc that can actually play games and was thinking of buying a rpg for the xbox 360 but it seems like all the good ones have terrible hot-keying. I was pretty excited about Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning because it was so huge, had a nice gear system and cool class creation. Then, i find out you only get 4 hot keys....wtf? I don't want to be pausing the game constantly. I like the way hot keys work on skyrim even less. I'm wondering if there is any good rpg games that have a good hot-keying system. Something like having the direction pad but also being able to use RB/LB to switch between 2-3 different hot key sheets. Is there any rpg games out there that have more advanced hot-keying for the xbox 360 that will give me at least 8 hot keys? I'm also looking for it to be a fantasy rpg like your normal wizard, warrior, rogue, archer classes. If one exists xD

    Erm, why the hell would you need more than 4 in KoA? Dude, you have serious issues for games that don't need them >.>

    You want an RPG with an absolutely absurd amount of hotkeys? Get FFXI.

    Seems like you need to find a different type of RPG. May I suggest Dark Souls?

    I'm pretty sure Tales of Vesperia has the ability for many different hot keys, or shortcuts, or whatever you want to call them. Tales of Vesperia's main character, uses a sword, and has a very fluid attack and combo animations.

    Rita is the spunky mage girl, Estelle is the cleric/combat healer. Raven is the archer type, Karol is the slow, heavy 2 hand weapon user, Repede is a dog that deals quick combos with his dagger, and Judith can deal complex combos with her spear.

    There is also a skill system you can use to further customize your character, and these skills range from improving your combat abilities, to helping you become an invincible God, basically. I'll link a video showcasing Yuri, the main character, since most people think he's the most broken Tales character ever made.



    Note: He's using a skill to set his damage to one.

    Just from the finesse talents alone i can count several abilites...and thats being a pure, I dont even want to think about playing a hybrid with only 4 hotkeys. and 8 hotkeys is absolutely absurd? However, i only plan to play a pure finesse class so if there's a way to make it worth id be happy for it to work id gladly have you prove me wrong.

    The game looks really good except for the combat system which seems very boring. From the few videos ive watched it appears you only have a basic melee attack, block and roll. The other combat roles look very basic aswell.

    ehh the doa games are a tad too small for me. Does anyone here have KoA for the xbox 360? Ive just read that you can hot key a b y x 3 times depending on how long you hold it down? Can anyone confirm or explain how it actually works to me?

    While combat may look very basic it has one thing most other RPG's do not, weight. Each weapon, spell and ability is different in how it feels and reacts. Short sword for tight spaces good, 2h claymore? Not so much. I've yet to play Dark Souls (waiting on PC version) but demons souls was so good I bought the CE of Dark Souls for my xbox to support the dev and get all the goodies.
