Amazing graphics...considering its on Wii...

but the last 30 seconds of the trailer made me remember why I don't like JRPGs much.

cheesy songs/humming sequences are one of the reasons. Its awkward to play in front of other people when things like that happen.

Do you play games to show off your manlyhood or something?

Uh....no...

I'm just saying that things like that are pretty awkward to play through when another person walks by the TV...not just RPGs.

Examples - 

Recently playing God of War 1 when Calliope screams "DADDY!" since when did Ancient greek people call their father "daddy" ?

MGS4 - Pretty much every scene that includes Akiba

And many more....JRPGs have more of those moments...

Well what other reasons don't you play RPGs?

The style of gameplay doesn't interest me much in most JRPGs....thats right, I do play WRPGs....actually no....that was a lie too...the only RPG series I like is Fable.

The stories include a lot of awkward moments like that in the trailer in most and would have been so much better without them.

I don't like repeatedly fighting a certain type of enemy to level up.

FF X-2

But I really want to try them more. Are there any PS3 JRPGs that don't have awkward moments and is a good place to start for JRPG noobs ?
