I dont like this type of JRPG. (first person, only 4 directions to go to) I actually dont like turn based RPGs at all but there is some few games I still buy (all Dragon Quest games)
My ideal JRPG would be Secret of Mana/Terranigma/Illusion of Gaia(Time) /Xenoblade.
2nd place would be stuff like Tales of blahblah (I dont like the fact that the game goes into a "battle stage" why not battle where your characters actually are? But other than that the games are cool)
3. comes turn based (which is a relic from back in the day when CPUs couldnt handle so much "AI")
4. First person turn based dungeon crawlers. I like to see my characters and want to have actual models with battle animations etc.
I wil buy Etrian Odyssey IV when it falls below 20€.
P.S. I do like turn based strategy games like Advance Wars/Fire Emblem/Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Shadow wars etc... because there it feels like one has to use some brain.
