Board 8 > What are some good JRPG's this gen?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm running out of older JRPG's I want to play, and I discovered I don't really know much about RPG selection in this generation. I dont have a 3DS, PSP, or PS3, so cannot play any games exclusive to those consoles.

Any suggestions?

JRPGs I have already played from this gen:
Tales of Vesperia
Persona 4 (i believe it's considered current gen even though its on the PS2)
Eternal Sonata
Lost Odyssey (20 minutes)
FFXIII
Various Pokemon Games

Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant.

Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey for the DS is an old school Dungeon Crawling JRPG.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

resonance of fate is good, but too long

like

it was awesome when i started

and then i got bored all of a sudden because every battle is exactly the same

and i'm not even sure if i made it 3/4 into the game

Xenosaga III if that still counts as "this gen" (It doesn't, IMO, but if it does!)

Well, you listed a good deal of what I'd have said, and with no PSP that takes out BBS...

Just play Persona 4 again, or something older.

If you have a Wii, Xenoblade and Arc Rise Fantasia are good.

Keep in mind though, Arc Rise Fantasia has A TON of problems. Sometimes it makes you fight two or three bosses in a row with no save points and it has terrible voice acting. Buuuuut the voice acting is so bad it's hilarious at times and the gameplay system is Skies of Arcadia level in terms of how easy to break it is.

I'm pretty sure nobody actually thinks Arc Rise Fantasia is a "good" game. It seems like people grasping at straws to me.

It's terrible in absolutely everything. But I still had a ton of fun playing it, partially because of how bad it was.

I generally consider a game good or not based on whether I enjoyed it or not. But eh, guess I should have clarified it.

Persona 3 FES? I don't see it listed. Also potentially The World Ends With You?

Been a surprisingly weak gen for JRPGs for me anyway. On home consoles anyway, plenty of ports and stuff on DS, etc.

Not today

Radiant Historia is one the best of the gen imo you should definitely play it if you haven't (anybody who hasn't, not just tc!)

Have to disagree with this. XS2 is not only worth playing, but I'd go so far to say that it's the only one I don't regret playing. (The series' abrupt and awful conclusion kinda destroys the credibility of its entire storyline; XS2 at least has interesting gameplay which is worth giving a spin. 1 is marred by slooow animations and 3 is just mediocre.)

Otherwise, aside from what you've already played, have to second Radiant Historia for a current-gen RPG. Suikoden Tierkreis is also pretty good. Haven't played much on the home consoles that you don't yet have.
