Blue Dragon was really good but yeah, it was easy. I don't want to talk about how much time I spent leveling and stuff in that game for cheevos.

Lost Odyssey is the best JRPG of this generation.

Are there any RPGs out now that are like the old school Final Fantasy? Honestly, two of the best RPGs I've played in the last few years are Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon (ignoring the voice acting). I'm a fan of turnbased RPGs and micromanaging skills.

I got halfway through your post and I was about to suggest Lost Odyssey

Then I finished reading your post

And uh, I got nothing

Actually, I misspoke here. I meant to say it's the best JRPG on the Xbox 360. I have a tendency to forget about handhelds and such.

Tales of Vesperia.

Thanks for trying.

Lost Odyssey undoubtedly had a better narrative. But gameplay flow was absolute shit.

I liked Lost Odyssey slightly better only because I'd been looking for something that played more like an old school JRPG and Lost Odyssey fit that bill perfectly.

Both of them are amazing games and I wish they would release more like them. Gonna have to get Tales of Graces for PS3 when it comes out.

Baroque And Roll

Yes Steve yes!

Tales of Graces f. I want.

Inkyblots

Can someone explain to me the appeal of last story.

Dichotomy

I was about to say that tales of vesperia was on reflection a pretty bad game, but you did say best JRPG, so I suppose it could still be a technically accurate assessment

Baroque And Roll

Dickotomy.

Bedigunz

I could never get into Tales of Vesperia. I think it was the storyline that killed it for me. Also, the fighting was fine but your teammate AI was atrocious.

SCREECH OF THE FARG

xenoblade is hands down the best jrpg this generation, assuming you do count it as a jrpg

The storyline was pretty ho hum but at least Yuri is a straight balla for most of it


Also I started playing Xenoblade this evening and wheee doggy the combat is fun (though I wish I could turn down the volume on the in combat voice acting, good lord)

the voice acting in Blue Dragon was like some serious torture

If you want old school jrpgs and own a ds, check out one of the Dragon Quest games.

Filling in these maps to 100% in FFXIII-2 is an exercise in PAIN.

2 left but it seems to be the 2 worst.

Raijin Quickfoot

1000/1000 gamerscore on FXIII-2.

I did most of them myself but there were a few that were ridiculous and I didn't even want to try.

Soooo...who here is getting Tales of Graces next week? I should be getting it day one and it has COOOOOOOP

Chapter 8 of resonance of fate:

Whoa totally didn't expect that to happen

Superbrothers: Sword and Sorcery EP is the best non-Mass Effect RPG in the last five years

Radiant Historia just got reprinted.

captaink

I've been playing that! It's pretty good, I like the grid combat. And the time travel stuff is pretty cool and kind of mind bending at times.

This is an excellent game and I will recommend it to everyone who loves RPGs.

Someone tell me if I should start playing Radiant Historia

It came in the mail yesterday but I am conflicted

captaink

Why wouldn't you?

I like that it's easy to go back and pick up sidequests because of the time travel aspect. I don't think anything is 'missable' like in so many JRPGs.

Satanic Jesus

Taking another break from Xenoblade because of sidequest overload and I'm now playing Yakuza 2, doing missions instead of the story.

Satanic Jesus

I'm thinking of picking up a Ys game for the PSP, which should I get?

The mystery project Capcom, Sega, and Namco Bandai were rumored to be working on has finally been revealed. Website Andriasang, citing advance copies of Famitsu, says the collaboration is called Project X Zone.

Project X Zone is a strategy RPG for the 3DS. Characters from different franchises like Street Fighter and Virtua Fighter will team up in pairs for fighting scenes initiated during combat. Based on the information from Hachima blog (via Sgcafe), the characters showed off and announced for the Capcom side so far are Ryu and Ken, X and Zero from the Mega Man series, Demitri and Dante (Darkstalkers and Devil May Cry respectively), and Chris and Jill from the Resident Evil series.

The party members from the Sega side are Shinguji Sakura and Ogami Ichiro from Sakura Wars, Ulala and Touma from Space Channel 5 and Shining Force respectively, Kurt and Reila from the Valkyria Chronicles series, and Pai and Akira from the Virtua Fighter franchise.

From Namco Bandai's stable, players will get to use Sanger Somvold from Super Robot Wars, Jin and Xiaoyu from the Tekken franchise, Kos-Mos and T-elos from Xenosaga, Yurie and Estelle from Tales of Vesperia, and Black Rose and Kaito from the .hack franchise. A trailer for the game will be up this month.

Shorty

the tales games aren't bad because of the characters

they're bad because the system sucks

and that right there is a game where I get to play Zero sooooooo

sounds pretty rad
