Lost Odysseys is about as good as FFX, which is okay. Nothing spectacular.
Stickball, however, has zero experience with the genre before this gen and outside of the Xbox 360. Something he mentioned numerous times back in 2007 to defend his point that the 360 would bring in new JRPG owners. Oddly, this year he seems to claim to have played nearly every JRPG for the last 2 decades. Apparently the man has gone through tens of thousands of hours of JRPGs in under a year. Must be some sort of miracle.

Woah. When did I say that I had no experience with the RPG genre in 2007? PLEASE tell me where I said I hadn't played a JRPG before this generation.
I'll gladly admit my experience last generation was very tepid, at best, with the JRPG genre. I only played the Kingdom Hearts series, FFX-2, FFXII, DQVIII and Tales of Legendia (that I can remember). But before that, I was heavily into JRPGs in the NES and SNES generation. Of course, the N64 killed off my JRPG gaming habits since it was the most atrocious system ever made (Thanks Nintendo Power for those FFIV shots on the '64!).
I own literal copies of every game I've mentioned in my profile. Most of which, I still have the boxes and pack-ins. My total collection of the oldies is probably valued in the thousands of dollars, since I was one of the few kids that supported Square and Enix back in the SNES glory days in the 'states. I was an avid Nintendo Power collector in the 90's as well - still have every issue numbered, and in order, from around Issue #24 (Final Fantasy II) to well in the low 100's (mid way through the N64 era).
Again, please show me where I stated that I was inexperienced with the genre before 07. I was removed somewhat, yes, due to owning an N64/Xbox, but that doesn't mean that I didn't play nearly every SNES JRPG released in the USA in the 90's, because I did.

No, it looks like that's my mistake. I know I remember this claim from someone, but it does seem you always claimed to have played some, but only a few. Right here you seem to have only played a few, ever.
Oddly, in this post, only a couple weeks ago, the number of JRPGs you've played seems to have risen quite quickly. You seem to have bought every JRPG ever suddenly. Even been a long time collector.
You've gone from a modest "well I haven't played that many but it's good compared to what I've played" JRPG player to "I've played much more than everyone else and thus my opinion is better" JRPG player. I can't say I appreciate the change.
