The Last Remnant in my experience was actually quite a poorly contrived game. The underlying mechanics might be truly awesome, but they are quite inaccessible. I concede to being none the wiser as to what I was doing after going at it for eight hours then I was after playing for fifteen minutes. I am not a idiot I am quite adept at learning complex systems, but all I found myself doing was trial and error runs. Once that happens it stops being stimulating, and just devolves into a chore. I think I got to about hour ten before I accepted that I wasn't going to have any fun with this game. If you want to play this game firstly you should probably find a online primer.

I think the safest bets are Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, and Infinite Undiscovery. There aren't many major issues to be had with any of those titles. At least as far as playability goes. Your not going to have any problems grasping how to play. The stories are also decent there isn't a lot of convoluted story telling, or dropping into metaphysics in these games. Perhaps I am jaded, but a good story really matters in this genre.

Great post. Thanks for all the info, bro.

Tales of Vesperia, it's one of the best games for the 360. It got a good battle system plus it's 4 player co-op.



Nier. It's among one of the best games made in the last six years and it's a JRPG, you should play it.

I know you don't have a PS3 but Yakuza 3 is probably the best JRPG you could possibly buy.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

FFXIII, duh.

Meh, I heard it lacked the fundamental aspects of a JRPG and was all graphics and battle system and little else.

So far, Lost Odyssey is the game that I'm aiming to lose my HD JRPG virginity with. Just watched some gameplay videos of it on YouTube and it looks great. The reviews are also saying it's a SNES/PS1 era JRPG in HD.

Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia and if you get a PS3 Valkyria Chronicles



Black Women Are The Most Beautiful Women On The Planet.

"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.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

I'm giving it to Tales of Vesperia, though some people call it an "incomplete game" it was a pretty damn good one.

If you are to base yourself on reviews why don't you go with FFXIII? It's the best rated JRPG on consoles.

But my second choice is indeed Lost Odyssey so I don't think you can go wrong with it.

That's exactly what I said!

The director of NES/SNES Final Fantasy's, and the creator of Final Fantasy directed this game, and damn, does it feel good.
