In case my avatar isn't enough to tip you off...
From the magic system, the way attacks worked, the way Limit Breaks were changed from a super attack to something inherent in equipment (extra dimension to strategy), the excellent puzzles, the amazing music, and, most importantly, a truly epic story finished with the best ending Ive ever seen in a videogame. It remains the one game that managed to pull of a plot twist (that wasn't just an ass-pull) that I didn't see coming.

The SMT series takes itself and its audience seriously, which is rather refreshing.
Golden Sun series. Here's hoping that the third game is great.
Tales of the Abyss is also a great game, especially in the Tales series. It deals deeply with the subject of personal identity and one's place in the world. It actually works out very well. Some parts seem a bit emo, but it works in this game.

Yes, FFT = S/TRPG or Strategy Role Playing Game or Tactics Role Playing Game.Eldarion said:Wait it isn't? So is final fantasy tactics a jrpg? Whats a SRPG/TRPG? Are you making this up?:Otanis1lionheart said:Disgaea really isn't a 'JRPG', it's a SRPG or TRPG.
It has to do with how you play the game, the way the battle system is made really.
The defining trait is the battle system? Not the fact that they are Japanese role playing games? Doesn't that sound a little backwards?tanis1lionheart said:Yes, FFT = S/TRPG or Strategy Role Playing Game or Tactics Role Playing Game.Eldarion said:Wait it isn't?
