well, i finished Lightning returns a while ago, and right now im playing FFX hd. That doesnt mean nothing except that i like both games but thats irrelevant with my point. BTW, Xcom is one of those exceptions that i talked about in my earlier post in this thread, i mean, is turn based by election not by limitation.

I'll take a turn based RPG any day of the week over all these recent hack n' slash RPGs that have come out these last couple of years.

sometimes you just want to sit back and relax and step by step think on what comands you gonna make in you own time. perfect for that lazy sunday when you suffer from a hangover.

BTW Xenogears have one of the most fun battle system of all RPG's I've ever played

I'm sure they'll port even more old games....

Here's the deal with battles. It's one of the few areas devs can be creative and mess around. Most of us JRPG fans are pretty open about it as long as it doesn't impede story progression early on while still offering exploits for advanced players to abuse.

By all means dick around with the combat system all you want, I ENJOY exploring new battle mechanics.

But that's not the problem with today's JRPGs. The problem is that the battle system IS the entire game all by itself. You can't just make the awesomest battle system in the world, throw in some QTEs and FMVs with a billy bad ass persona swooshing their hair at the camera with a stuck up snarky attitude, and then call it a JRPG.

Story and characters come first . If I finish the game and I'm not sad at the end that the characters aren't real, youre doing it wrong.

WTB having a beer with Cecil and coddling the hell out of Palom and Porom.

OK with me if they start with FFXII

But I don't see what Final Fantasy gains by relying on my reactions as well as my brains. To me it just makes it a different game to what I want (though I do love Kingdom Hearts)

Cosigning with this gif.

Is it that shocking though? FFX was considered a masterpiece anyways so a Remaster was guaranteed a million at least I think.

Good. I'm just getting to the part where I play Blitzball for the first time. Been dreading that since I hated it so much back in 2001 but I'm gonna actually learn to play this time. Glad to see a new generation (or is it just guys from the old generation?) enjoying this classic. It's a bit more linear than I remember but I'm still enjoying it very much.

Makes me wonder if my limited edition with the artbook is actually.. Limited..
