My favorite genre is JRPG's (or RPG in general for that matter) and love pretty much everything about them, ESPECIALLY random encounters, BUT i do agree with two of your points

No1: I absolutely hate that, something that derives a little from that is that there are some instances when you have to go through lots of dialogue/choices and, specifically for me one time power went out almost at the end of one, it was a long time ago and it has never happened to me again but i've hated those long periods of dialogue ever since, not anything against them per se though. Now, it also happens when there are instances where you have multiple hard/story battles in sucesion w/o the ability to save in between them and if you for some random reason loose the last one (or well, whichever) is back to square one.

No8: I HATE THIS, there are games where they give you subtle hints that you might need to do something (STILL NOT ENOUGH!) but then there are other where you basically have to guess or stumble upon such events by mere luck, i hate that, specially if its something important story or (characters)back-story related.

Now i would like to add something to that list: ONE HIT KO attacks, the person who decided it was a good idea to put OHKO attacks on RPG's (that mmm for some reason always seem to be paiered with the problem No1 to your delight [NO] ) should be put in the gillotine (doesn't matter if it's already dead) along with those who consintently keep making the games w/o getting rid of this, or worse, adding it to their games. OHKO's are something that's 1 - Unnecesary: obviously, 2 - Time wasting: (Oh no! it's actually great when you can get rid of enemies and grind really quick :D) When the enemy goes first, targets you and one shot's you and all the two hours you went on leveling w/o saving are lost and you want to break the disc in half! (Digital is the future :O) - BTW thats totally not based on personal experiences, and totally not referring to Hamaon, but yeah, that's about it.

I love JRPG's but besides what i said and the cliche ''Perfect Girl'' and ''Useless girl who everyone for some reason wants to protect'' characters (sometimes one and the same, some unusual times more than one of each), i wouldn't change anything about them.
