Not that I disliked, actually I loved these three but were bad at those. On my second playthrough or at the end used a guide or understand the basics and loved even more:

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
Fire Emblem Awakening
Shin Megami Tensei IV



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

FF CC and secret of mana
hated secret of mana alone, but the coop is fantastic

Played the first SMT game and I wasn't able to get into it. I really liked the atmosphere and everything but I sucked at it.

I decided to play more modern SMT games and when I came back to it I was able to make progress and enjoyed it a lot. I admit I had to use a guide, specially by the end of the game, but using one doesn't ruin my enjoyment of a game.

Yah I played a bit of SMT1 and SMT2 but didn't really get into it as much as I did with Nocturne. Maybe, I'll go back to them one day with a guide.

Nope.. I'll always dislike Final Fantasy 13..

Agreed! And I gave that game two playthroughs, I actually think I disliked the game even more.

I don't get the question really.
Why would you play through a game AGAIN if you disliked it the first time? Are you a masochist?
If I don't like a game I don't play it. No, this has never happened to me.


Sorry, I should've clarified and asked it differently. Really it's more of a question whether your opinion towards an RPG was better on a repeat playthrough.

Still never played Crystal Chronicles, maybe I'll try it one day. Also, even though I consider myself an SMT fan, I actually did not like SMTIV. I think I'm going to have to go back to it and really give it some time tho.

Shenmue

For RPGs, I thought Mass Effect was a good game, but definitely enjoyed my second playthrough more.

For other games... No More Heroes I thought was going to be a poor to average game based on the first 10 minutes, I warmed to it a little after the first boss fight, thought it was ok after the 2nd boss fight. It continued to grow on me through to the end to the point that I immediately started a second playthrough.

I can't think of any other games I have enjoyed significantly more second time around.

I hate to restart Chrono Cross 2-3 times before playing it to the end (the first times I lost interest). In the end, it's a decent game but still not a worthy Chrono Trigger successor.



Signature goes here!

Dragon Warrior. I was a punk kid who didn't know what was going on the first time I played it. A few years later and I had it figured out. It was a great game.
