Forums - Gaming - I need JRPG recommendations (only played 2...FF13 & FF12)

I will say Lost Odyssey, FFX and Tales of Vesperia.

Today i will probably buy Demon Souls, it looks like a great game like the others you need to give a chance.

Lost Odyssey.

It's much more traditional and (in some ways) restrictive than most JRPGs released this gen, but the writing and characters make up for it. I recommend it without hesitation. Get past the first hour and the game opens up like like you wouldn't believe.



Trust me on this one: Persona 4.



Final Fantasy X



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

Let's see:

Lost Odessey
StarOcean 3 & 4
Final Fantasy X (similar in some respects to XIII)
FFVII-IX on PSN for a bit of history
Vagrant Story on PSN
The Grandia games were good, I think 2-3 were on PS2, 1 on PS1.

If you ever get a DS or have a PC with a SNES emulator then play Chrono Trigger. It's just plain fantastic. Same for FFVI.

All Mistwalker games
