luigi13579 11/03/19 5:24:24 PM #11:	I still enjoy it tbqh. The combat is basic (but serviceable), but I like the puzzles (which many of the modern games have scaled back), world (particularly the many towns/cities), sidequests, music, etc. And yes, there's a bit of nostalgia. To make the combat a little more interesting, I like to use some of the other characters occasionally (mostly Regal, Kratos/Zelos or Presea, in that order). <cite>luigi13579 posted [p:929618715] in I can't im...

luigi13579 11/04/19 1:29:57 PM #38:	Garioshi posted... What truly turn-based games besides Chrono Cross and some Pokemon games should I enjoy? To add to what's been mentioned: Suikoden series, Grandia series. For SRPGs, I enjoy the Super Robot Wars and Shining Force series. I hesitantly recommend Skies of Arcadia Legends (as much as I love the game). The battle system is different enough to be interesting, but the battles are quite slow and the encounter rate high (albeit reduced in Legends). To other JRPG fans: I beat Shadow Hearts just there and wasn't that impressed. Is the second game better and if so, how much? <cite>luigi13579 posted [p:929655687] in I can't im...
