The Average Gamer dosent care for JRPG's?

My gripe about RPGs (although I have only played JRPGs so far) is the battle system. For some reason, it's the most boring part of all the JRPGs so far for me. Usually, I find myself being able to win through using just certain skills, and not worrying at all about the rest, or simply use the rest very little.

That said though, I don't consider myself knowing how to play JRPGs at all, and I should probably have to see a JRPG fan playing the games to understand the fun of the genre.

Currently, I'm playing Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES. Everything has been fantastic except for... the battle, which is considerably better than other JRPGs' I have played.

Unless I somehow change, probably the only JRPG I will be able to get into is action-based. I have only played two of that kind. Children of Mana on NDS and Kingdom Heart 2 on the PS2. The latter is a lot better than the former, although both got repetitive after a while. Furthermore, the stories in both are pretty average (the former's story sucks, and in Kingdom Heart 2, I didn't find Disney stories particularly interesting). That said, though, Kingdom Heart 2 was pretty fun. But, if I have to sum up, no JRPGs have left a big impression on me yet.

Mana games have never had particulary interesting stories.  Kingdom Hearts II has a great story IMO.
