Nocturne was way too tough for my tastes. I don't mind difficult games, but that one was just frustrating. Digital Devil Saga is like baby's first Atlus RPG. Not bad but nothing special. Persona 3 and 4 are the greatest JRPGs ever made. In my humble opinion of course.

Why Persona 3 by any chance? i mean i get persona 4 and love the hell out of it too (wouldn't put it at my top JRPGS but definitely amazing), but why persona 3? I mean climbing the tower is boring as hell, the levels look the same, the music is the same throughout, the fusions are crap/random, luck plays way too big of a role when you face something with mudo. What makes you like persona 3 that much?

The game was paced perfectly for an RPG. I didn't find myself stuck on one part for hours on end like I did with Nocturne, or bogged down in boring sequences like with DDS. The game was constantly moving. I felt like there was something to do every day, people to talk to, quests to complete, relationships to build. It never slowed down for me. Plus I enjoyed climbing the Tartarus. It was a bit repitive but that didn't bother me too much because of how much I enjoyed the battle system. The music was also very catchy. I agree with you about the fusions though, those could have been handled better.
