I liked resonance of fate. But it was repetitive. The battles were fairly samey. And they way the made them different was gimp you. But you got to dress up your characters and fling them around and it looked cool.
I've loved a couple JRPG's on DS as much as older JRPG's from the best of generations past. But my favorite home console one was FFXIII. I liked it a lot, not as much as my favorite FF or other JRPGs on the past 2 home consoles.

And elder scrolls series is an RPG.... I don't understand pulluspardus's statement. O_o



I already have the Personas and i am waiting on baited breathe for P5

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

i bought my console for rpgs (just like my consoles before ps3) and i was skeptical about buying some of the rpgs released also because of the reviews, but started grabbing a few and the reviews just dont do justice.

nier got pretty low reviews and it has become one of my favorite games, its not a traditional turn based rpg, but i still loved it

im playing through resonance of fate right now and i think its great so far

star ocean is also pretty good, i would give them all a try

lots of rpgs have been coming out and we have a few left this year that havnt come out yet, im finally starting to use my console now :P



do yourself a favor and get DS and PSp, KHs, the world ends with you, Mario & Luigi are simply crapping on the console Rpgs and its a damn shame too

Anything from the Atelier series (particularly rorona, iris or totori) its the next best JRPG series after FF Imo

Otherwise try Nier, Kingdom Hearts birth by sleep or Dragon Quest IX, all are excellent. Folklore is also very cool

If you are looking old school, then go the suikodens, lufias or grandia if you havent already

As a caveat, I loved FFXIII so my tastes may be completely opposite to yours, but I recommend all of the above



PLAYSTATION NATION LADY OF JRPGS

Favourite Games of 2013 1.Tomb Raider(PS3) 2.Atelier Ayesha(PS3) 3.Virtues Last Reward (Vita)

Reviews are rarely trustworthy... Maybe borrow the games and then buy them if you like?

I also can't agree with this enough

DS and PSP are the JRPG platforms this gen




What are everyones thoughts on Vagrant Story and Xenogears? I downloaded both off of PSN and I was wondering which one I should start first

^^ i can only speak for Xenogears that game is great, i heard great things about Vagrant Story as well, just aobut all of my friends perfer Xenogears, i heard VS was hard as hell. IMHO any RPG on PSN (US anyway) is gold. id say any of those classic PS1 games are just as good if not better than any of the current gen console JRPGs
