Does anyone else here like JRPGS?

[Ed.]

im not really a major JRPG fan but i still like some of them

Skies of Arcadia being a favourite I know the magic is horribly broken but the game is great despite that

 

[Rewold]

I just hope the japanese never stop selling their games in the west too..And add those japanese voices there too!

 

[SovietSecrets]

I do! Whats not to like? After you mute the characters the game does become fun.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

I don't hate JRPG's, though I usually like other games better...

 

[Hollywood Knights]

I'm a big fan, although I do need to expand my horizons beyond games made by Square Enix more often.

Incidentally, recent research has suggested that a gaming diet heavy in JRPGs promotes good looks, flawless skin, charisma, charm and minty-fresh breath. Similarly, a deficiency in these games is thought to cause weight gain, dandruff, flatulence, an obsession with the 'superior' storytelling techniques of Valve, and hives. I can't back any of this up, I'm afraid, but it's true. Honest.

I'm not an over huge fan of the JRPGs, never really got onto the FF bandwagon and while I've played at least a bit of all the KH games, 358/2 is the only one I've gotten super into so far and I might eventually like KH2 but it hasn't sold me. I'm a pokefan, but that's nostalgia gripping me by the balls so I love it always, and overall, JRPG doesn't stand as tall and firm in my hand as the Western RPGs do, or even a fantastic 3PS

The Final Fantasy series is my favorite but i really like Chrono Trigger too.

 

[^=ash=^]

Woooo JRPGs .. i think thats all the input i need to use, but just to be safe

last played: Magna Carta II
soon to get: Final Fantasy XIII

I'm a massive JRPG fan, especially Persona and Suikoden, and the old SO (The last hope was horrible, kaaaaaaaaaaaaay?).

 

[RipperSU]

I like certain JRPGs but for the most part my experience is ruined by the token cute or kooky character. Lost Odyssey was the last JRPG I played and I loved it right up until the two kids came in and overly-lightened the tone.

I Love me some Mother.
That should tell you everything.

That could weeeeeeeeeeeeel be taken out of context...

 

[Stormz]

Yes, yes I do. I find most of them lacking a good story and decent characters but every once in a while I find a good one. I mostly play older ones on the ps2 because it has a ton of good ones.

The only problem I have with them in the fact that they MAKE you have to grind for several hours to fight one boss. I've yet to see a Jrpg that doesn't do that except for my beloved Lost odyssey.

 

[Sethzard]

I don't like JRPGS, but I also don't hate them. I do love pokemon, but that probably has a bit to do with nostalgia.

Been playing the Final Fantasy series since FF I on the NES. Have enjoyed Disgaea (and the other Atlus/Nippon Ichi games), the original Pokemon (bought red for the second incarnation of the Game Boy, the slim one), Grandia II (which I thought was really good despite how bad the other ones were), Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Shadow Hearts, Romancing Saga: The Minstrel Song, Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2, XenoGears and XenoSaga (just the first one), Dragon Warrior/Quest (just the ones on the NES), Fire Emblem (the one for the gamecube)...

Anyways, yeah I play JRPGs and like them a lot. If anyone has any suggestions for any other games I should try, I am always willing to give one a go and see if I like it.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

I'm getting a bit tired of this sites hatred for jrpgs. Are there any jrpg fan here including Final fantasy?

Spoiler: Let me answer your question.

Hell yes , My favorite is Dragon quest 8 and my Favorite FF is 6

 

[Iron Gix]

have to be in the mood for one, usually mixed it. after i play a jrpg i go and play a western rpg

 

[scorptatious]

*looks at avatar*

Nope. Absolutely hate JRPG's. Almost nothing of value in them. Mmm-mmm.

...

Wait. It's another necro'd thread. Yay...

 

[Saladfork]

Well, the only JRPGs I ever played and thought was better than just 'okay' were the pokemon, Disgaea and Fire Emblem series.

For point of comparison, some of my favourite RPGs are Planescape: Torment, Fallout (the whole series minus 3), Neverwinter Nights 2 (mostly Mask of the Betrayer), Mass Effect and Alpha Protocol.

Edit: Also KOTOR 2.

I love JRPG's. I don't have too much experience with them as others as I've only started to play them a year or two ago. I may even go as far as to say they're probably one of my favorite genres and I'd love to see them make a comeback in today's market!

 

[thesilentman]

I like me some turn based JRPGs. I just blame my laziness in looking for some good ones. The last JRPG I touched was Chrono Trigger, so let that say something. And Dark Souls, but the JRPG always appears as a good turn based affair for me.
