Did you like Xenosaga's story?  Admittedly some of the characters in Xenosaga were decent, but the main plot was kinda on the awful side (for me).

Magna Carta is a bad game with a Fantastic storyline.And that girl with amnesia has bigger secert then you think.

 

If the game's story isn't interesting enough to make a person care enough to make it to that big secret then it doesn't matter what it is, and precludes the game from having a "fantastic story" as it isn't fantastic from start to end.

 

The story does not kick off until about 15 hours in but when it did kick off i found it to be one of the best storylines I have seen in a rpg.But everything else about the game sucks hard.

 

That's a big no-no in my part. The story needs to hook me within the first few hours of the game, not halfway through. That's one of my biggest complaints for Xenosaga.

@pro, DDS and Nocturne don't have any sim-dating stuff. The combat for both DDS and Nocturne are basically turn based with a little twist. Each character has a full turn. Each action costs a full turn. When you expose the enemies' weakness, you only waste half a turn. If you miss, two turns are wasted. The games are difficult and requires you to strategize. Nocturne reminds me of Pokemon in some way.

Also I suggest Odin Sphere for the art and story. Combat is so-so.
