i was wondering what is the most important factor for you , when u are going to buy a new jrpg?
also do u still love the genre as much as u did when u 1st started in them or do u love it even more?
for me the most important factor in buying a new jrpg is the length of the game ( anything over 50+hrs of playtime i will buy it, less than that will have to consider it alot )and who its made by. and i love the genre more now than ever before. :)

I would say the most important factor is story. I would love to see more Jrpgs innovate though, and would take that over a good story any day, but that isn't common so I will settle for story.
Not really, like I said before, the most important aspect for me is story(or new gameplay if offered), but I am a person who thinks the genre peaked with that aspect in the Snes PS era. Now most Jrpgs aren't too much close, with some exceptions. Also when I started playing almost every Jrpg had a different system of gameplay to me, and that spoiled me. Now everything is something I already have been through. I still love the genre though, and it is up there with Action-Adventure games as my favorite.
I disagree with you on length though. 50hrs+ is pretty above-average for a Jrpg imo. Most are around 30-40hrs for main story. Even then, this is much longer than most other genres, and I would much rather them conclude an RPG early rather than ruin it by dragging it out with things like fetch quests, or useless boring side stories(excluding the ones that are done right.) Having said that, there are RPGs that I spent 100hrs of hours in just because of the gameplay being filled with so much depth that in order to master it you have to play that long(thinks pokemon.)
