Good point makingmusic. I guess we should keep a close eye on TGS then.

If they do remake it, it'll probably be the first JRPG I ever buy. I was always turned off by JRPGs because of the turn-based gameplay, but then, I've never really played through one so I can't be sure that I wouldn't like it. :P

Well, I played LotR: The Third Age and thought it was garbage. That's somewhat like a JRPG, right?

Actually, I own Dark Cloud. I enjoyed it for the most part, though I found it very repetitive and never finished it. Was that a good JRPG?

 Indeed.

LOTR third age=shit

No story, decent gameplay (found it repitive besides the multi hit moves), just no story. A huge and major key aspect of JRPGS is story, it really is, there are quite a few JRPGS i would not have finished if it wasnt for the story. And the great ones combine gameplay with story (ff 7). Story adds to how you want to push to find out more, or like in FF 7 when Aeris dies, and you have to face the thing that killed her, you just feel emotion, and when you perform special moves you just feel how you want to beat the shit out of the thing O.O. Also many JRPGS are steping away from the turn based, which is great, but i also like having a few remain traditional.

But the new ones such as White Knight Story use active gameplay, but also has JRPG elements.

Dark cloud i dont know anything about that one

FFVII was turn based (basically), so if you can't stand turn based you probably won't like it either. I like turn based personally. FFVII had it's problems but the combat system wasn't one of them. If you want a non turn based JRPG grab Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts 2. You could also try the steaming pile of poo that is FFXII.

Oh and Dark Cloud is decent.  Dark Cloud 2 is a lot better though IMO. 

So Aeris dies. Thanks. *rollseyes*

Nah, I'm just joking. :P Story is also very important to me. That's why I love MGS so much. The gameplay isn't all that, tbh.  I mean, yeah it's fun, but the story is what really keeps me going.

Having anygood JRPGs you'd recommend? Should I just wait for WKS or something? WKS looks awesome, visually and story-wise. The gameplay look spretty fun as well.

And I think the only reasons I don't like turn-based gameplay is because of the few experiences I've had with it (LotR:TA, for example). I actually enjoyed what little of the LEgend of Dragoon I played.

 Yeah, I had heard taht about DC2.  It looked a lot better from the vids and other stuff.

About the turn-based stuff, I don't think it's that I don't like so much so as I've just had bad experiences with it.  See my response to Lost tears for more on that. :P 

*slowly, but surely claps*

Congratulations. Your justification for another OMFG FNAL FANTXYY SEVEN REEEEMAKE thread is a blatant and obvious reference at the end of Crisis Core that it's a prequel to a 10 year old game where its story is "continued."

Well if you think you'll enjoy a good turn based game, pick up Dragon Quest VIII. My favorite JRPG of the last generation. You should also check out Dark Cloud 2, Baten Kaitos, Golden Sun (GBA games), Chrono Trigger (best RPG of all time), FFVI (my favorite FF game of all time), FFIX (my second favorite FF game of all time, and my favorite 3D FF), Tales of Symphonia, er... I should probably stop now because I could list good JRPGs forever lol. There are hundreds of them, and I love them all haha.

Edit: Dark Cloud 2 isn't turn based.  I through it in there with a bunch of turn based haha.  Sorry if that confused you. 

That's a lot of games...

I'll definitely look into DQ8, and I'll try to finish DC one of these days and pick up DC2.
