I havn't played a JRPG since Zelda on the Cube. I do miss them though I don't like random fights with pointless enemies you can't see simply for being out in the open. I liked Grandia 2 style enemies which you can choose to fight by running into them. I don't mind turn based.
Is Lost Odyssey turn based with invisible enemies that come out of nowhere all the time? (ala Skies of Arcadia/Eternal Arcadia- great rpg but way too many unwanted battles)
