Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Okay.  I am going to say it, even though I know it'll start some serious warring.  

KH1 annoyed me, although it had its moments.   KH2 was good.

 

None of the games I mentioned are anything like KH, I imagine.

 



 

Ever played Star Ocean Till the End of Time?



Try Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2 and SMT III: Nocturne.
Don't waste your time playing Magna Carta.



Are DDS and Nocturne significantly different from Persona 3/4? I haven't actually tried P4, but P3 was not my thing.

Yep, I like the SO series.  I have it listed in the OP already. =)



 

DDS and Nocturne have absolultely none of the dating sim-like stuff you mention disliking in Persona 3.  I personally like the Persona series more, but those games are still good in their own right.

DDS had a great story but the gameplay was not the best.There are a crap load of random encounters and the combat system was kinda boring.Transforming into a demon was cool as hell though.



You didn't like Xenosaga?....


Damn I love that series... well Xenosaga I and III, II had a awfull battle system.

I replay those once in a while, finished first one 3 weeks ago.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

The only thing I really disliked about Xenosaga was the plot -- the characters were good, the fighting system was decent I guess...  Plot is big for me, though -- more important than characters, etc.  I like JRPGs, but I have a significant lean over to the WRPG style of storytelling, and western thinking when it comes to plotlines.  I can't help it.. my inner RPG child was raised on Wizardry, Ultima, The Bard's Tale, D&D Gold Box, etc.

This is embarrassing to admit, as a huge RPG fan... but I didn't know what Final Fantasy even was until VII came out.  Even then I waited for the PC version (FF7 was my first JRPG).  I played exclusively PC RPGs until the late-90s -- I played them all, it seems, but I avoided console RPGs like the plague, until FF7 hit.

Now I've gone back and played huge numbers of 16-bit through PS2-era console RPGs, and I found that I was really missin out.
