Eternal Sonata is slow, but it definitively warrants one walkthrough.

Never played Star Ocean, but a friend of mine who loves JRPGs said he died of boredom with it.

I played Sonata, but not much from Star Ocean. Just wanted your thoughts on the games :) Since no one else here likes to talk about them xD 

But yeah Sonata does feel preechy and it does start out slow, but I really enjoyed it once they gave you less time to work with and introduced the day/night battle system. Gave it a pretty unique feel to it. Although that final boss was top 5 most disappointing bosses. For me at least. 

I also quit Star Ocean after an hour, but like Blue Dragon, will give it a second chance!!!

Ever tried Resonance of Fate? The plot is utterly crap, but everything else is brilliant!

I have not... I always skipped that and Enchated Arms. Plot rarely kills the game for me, so how is the gameplay/ battle system? I should check some vids up...

Also... is The Last Remnant any good. I'm trying to see if I missed any JRPGs on the 360. I feel like I've played a lot of them, but I may have missed some goodies. 

I got confused for a sec and thought you were Iceland, when I saw your name instead I immediately dismissed your opinion xD jk. 

:( Even if you were kidding, it still hurts. But I still care for you :)

And after further thought, you are right. 

I can no longer be Iceland, I'm not good enough!!!!!!!

I'm playing Enchanted Arms as we speak. Bought it a month ago. So far I'm liking it; plot is very conventional and the gameplay is a bit outdated, but it is exciting to be honest! There's strategy involved and a lot of things that makes combat an interesting affair. And, if things become too redundant, you can fast-forward so that you don't get bored.

Resonance of Fate's gameplay is brilliant. It is a mix of real and time-based RPG, gunplay, acrobatics, and more weird things.

And I loved The Last Remnant. It was unconventional in every way possible, minus predictable plot twists. And it was horrible on a technical level, but installing on the HDD fixed a lot of things. In any case, I suggest PC version, as it gives you extra content and New Game +.

Got no PC, so it will have to be 360 :)

Thanks Wright, looks like i got a GameStop trip coming up xD 

Can you give me a rough estimate on time to beat those games, if you know? The ones that you've played? 

I have 13 hours on Enchanted Arms and the game tells me my progress through the main thing is 52%. So I'm guessing somewhere 20-30 hours to beat EA.

Resonance of Fate is a grindfest, so I guess you can take up to 40-60 hours there.

With The Last Remnant, it really depends. Depends if you grab a good army at the beginning, if you're good and, in some battles, if you have enough luck. I'd say 20-50 hours.

WTF was wrong with Blue Dragon? It and LO got me into JRPGs. Loved both LO more. I was more action rpg. If they announce sequels ill be so freaking happy
