You can get JRPG's like Xenoblade or Tales where you're given areas to explore and combat is integrated into that (either directly or through a separate arena-based combat system). It sounds to me like this is the kind of exploration in a JRPG that you like. A first person dungeon crawler (like Etrian Odyssey) is about exploration, but it's a different kind of exploration. You'll be exploring a grid-based map step by step. It's certainly a different experience. And then a SRPG like Fire Emblem is more built around the combat; thinking laterally in battle situations and stuff. I haven't actually played FE, but certainly for things like Disgaea and Wild ARMs XF that I've played there's no world map or anything and the games focus on telling you a story and putting you in combat scenarios. |
Yeah, I've watched a little bit of the Last Story on youtube, and it seems like a better fit for me...
But I must say, I'm intruiged by the whole SRPG concept... I just wish there were a longer demo of FE on 3DS...
I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!
Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
