I think the last JRPG I played until completion was ChronoCross, which I only played because I was stuck in a hotel room for a month during a sales trip (not that it was a bad game, I just wasn't really playing console games at the time). At home I had been playing Counter-Strike a lot. After CS and a string of other PC games, I didn't play console games for a while. When I started again, I just couldn't get into JRPGs anymore. The combat is so bland to me now that I just get bored. Even though I played and loved FF7, I don't think I could play it again. I think the final nail in the coffin was when I stopped being fascinated with Japanese anime style stories. So much repetition of the same story that I can't even really play for the story anymore. What I wouldn't mind seeing is a JRPG setting done in an WRPG style. I think that would be fun to play.
I give this thread a 9.6.
Thank god for the disable signatures option.
