Wow, lolll, I have never heard that phrase before. Xbox 360 getting people in jrpgs? Thats a first! Interesting! I think mine was the snes with games like FF and Earthbound and etc. I must say though, tales of vesperia being xbox 360 exclusive is like just zomg for tales fans like me. Like, when my friend got tales of vesperia, I was like, dw dude, it will come to the ps3 eventually but it never came T_T (to the west that is)

I know, lol! One of my first JRPGs on console I remember playing was Tales of Vesperia and I think I was in high school at the time. 2009 maybe? Was just an amazing game with probably my favorite cast of characters to date. And yeah... years later I realized the PS3 is the main 7th gen king of JRPGs, so just playing through them now!

omg you made this thread :)

The console that got me into jrpgs was the snes, games like Earthbound (my fav game of all time), FF6, and Super Mario RPG got me into the genre. I was playing jrpgs since I was 5, kind of strange compared to the children of today.

lol! :)
Damn... so if Nintendo made another Earthbound game you'd be tempted to buy a U huh :) 
And at that age I was playing a pretty much Pokemon and crappy movie games. I did play Spyro though, so that a plus.

Nah, you're not old.

If Paper Mario TTYD is a JRPG, then the GC did.

I mean, I did play Paper Mario as a kid. 64, TTYD, and Super Paper Mario, but like Pokemon, I wouldn't consider them hardcore JRPGs. 
Although I think I played Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn on the Wii before Vesperia... both were around the same time when I played them.

Xbox 360 really did have some great years for JRPGs

It was the PS1 for me though. Final Fantasy 7-9 all released in a short space of time, it was just so

It really did have some amazing games in its beginning. Wish it continued that streak throughout its life :( 
And yeah most people here got into JRPGS in the PS1 era, sucks that I missed it. I wasn't that big of a gamer really until the 7th gen. That's when I followed most of the news online, etc. That's also the gen where I had all three consoles.
