Oh man, Secret of Mana and Secret of Mana 2 (Seiken Denseblaaaaa 3) were so rock awesome.

I liked turning into a werewolf rawr.

I was always the knight.

In like 2 of the 3 playthroughs.

And each time we played and then just stopped.

Are we just listing favorite rpgs?

Ain't hijacking wonderful?

Also, Paper Mario. Thousand Year Door was also amazing.

the first one was better

I have to disagree, purely because TYD had everything that made the first one awesome, but added a ton more content, and the chapters were amazing.

Me Too!

All of the GTA games are RPGs

if we are using the absolute literal sense that it is a game where you take on the role of someone, then yes, they are all rpgs

Do you like long and pretentious art rock solos

But seriously, Terranigma was by far the best singleplayer RPG on the SNES and it was no JRPG because they are always turnbased and awful.

Kusuguttai

whats wrong with turn based
the answer is nothing

PotU

Pokemon is great and therefore not a JRPG.

I bought It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia Seasons 1 & 2 at Target the other day, as well as Veronica Mars Season 3. Both were on sale, so I figured why not?

I also got The Jason Bourne Collection from Amazon, which was cool because with the free shipping it arrived today. The thing is pretty swank looking.

Always Sunny is fucking amazing.

Have you seen this?

EDIT: Super NSFW, by the way. We are talking Always Sunny, here

Bioshock was kind of an RPG

I haven't seen it, but I've heard it's hilarious from multitudes of people, which is why I bought it.

I powered through most of Terranigma, then realized I was incredibly bored. So I stopped.

Watch that clip.

It's unrelated to the series proper, so you won't be spoiling anything.

What feature is that from?

Oh man, Its Always Sunny. There are too many awesome moments in the series, but I think my favorite was Charlie's performance of Nighman and Dayman. This past season was all sorts of uneven though, you'd have an episode that was just ok, still good compared to most crap on tv, then the next episode would be one amazing string of funny.

SIL 4 CLOUD SLASHFIC

OFFICIAL READ ALL ABAHT IT

When I went to see the Golden Compass I saw a preview for a movie where the 2 main characters had the ability to make anything they read come to life.

My first thought was Harry Potter Slashfics.

saying JRPGs are pretty crap is like saying that American FPS games are pretty terrible

STATE OF THE ART ROBOT

Every time I see someone hate a final Fantasy title, I wonder if they hate it just because it is the cool thing to do.

Centipede Damascus

MAN THIS STUFF IS TERRIBLE

REAL PEOPLE'S HAIR DOESN'T STICK UP LIKE THAT WHAT

No, I just hate FF because the fighting system is crap and the story and characters are just stupid.

you do realize that since 7 all the battle systems have been different correct
because thinking they are all the same means you haven't played a final fantasy since 6

PotU

And what exactly is so different?

candanavian

I would agree with anyone who said that the characters in FF games are all pants-on-head retarded and the writing sounds like it went back and forth through altavista several times, but I still like them. I guess it's the concept behind them, and plot turns that make you go HELL GOD DAMN (in theory)

Why would he play sequels to games he didn't like?
