g-value said: @ loves2splooge The console jrpg games have you played this gen? SO4 is probably the worst of the pile of lackluster jrpgs this gen. |
From recent to least recent: SO4, ToV, Infinite Undiscovery, Eternal Sonata, Enchanted Arms, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey
Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon are good but even those required me to force myself to finish after getting on the last disc. ToV is highly-rated but I didn't really care much for it (and I played until the credits since I really wanted to like it but I didn't)
I actually didn't mind Enchanted Arms but that's probably because it has Auto Battle + Fast Forward. lol. Takes out the tedium of random encounters.
I also had fun with Shining Force from the Ultimate Genesis Collection but that's a SRPG and obviously not this gen, lol. And Muramasa on Wii, which I've tried a bit, is fun but that's pretty much a beat-em-up with levels so you can't put it in the traditional jrpg camp.
And it's not just the current gen. I don't have the motivation to play through the ones on PS2 either (FF12, DQ8, Persona 4, etc.)
So yeah, I just seem to prefer playing them on handhelds for some reason. Maybe it could be an old-school nostalgia thing.
