Actually I didn't list this in my list but both Bleach games I have are Japanese. Not that that really makes a difference.
Strategy RPGs are a genre of game that intrigue me, but always seem to go wrong somewhere, somehow. Even though I liked the FFT games, they all did something wrong - they're all really slow. Pacing is a big issue in SRPGs and I often find myself getting bored of them for that reason. When I can get over that though SRPGs are great time-wasters and do always fulfill the customization requirement I have really well.
