I love Shin Megami Tensei, and, if it counts, Nippon Ichi games. I like Earthbound a lot and a few other SNES era JRPGs (namely Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger.) That is the extent of JRPGs I like.
Does anyone else here like JRPGS?

Generally yes, at least since I love Chrono Trigger and Tales of Symphonia, and am getting into Persona 3.
<color=purple>Oh my god. Win. Just cause Tales is an awesoem series and Symphonia is the best one.MellowFellow said:
The Tales series is one of the biggest JRPG franchises so it definitely counts.Daemascus said:
The Final Fantasy series is a good series overall, but there are many other games that beat it out in almost every area. In particular, the Final Fantasy has a very bad habit of using some very flat characters. If you want a very character driven game, play something like Persona 3/4 or Tales of the Abyss (which goes down on my list of best character development in a main character).
In TOA the protagonist starts off as a spoiled prick until he screws up so bad that the entire party essentially tells him to go fuck himself, including the love interest. By the end of the games he actually becomes likable after completely changing his attitude and being forced to win back the trust of his allies. Well worth playing if you liked Symphonia and can get your hands on a copy. (Plus, they refined the battle and skill system from Symphonia so it's much more fluid and fun to use)
Yeah; love 'em.
Finished almost every FF (Not 8 and still busy with 9), finished Star Ocean 3 (horrible cutscenes though), finished Shadow Hearts Covenant (loved the three homosexual characters, funny as hell), almost through with Persona 3 (After that it's on to number 4, which is superior in my honest opinion), played and replayed Dark Chronicle (does that count?) and I am now busy playing Rogue Galaxy (and I am counting it, your weapons level and you have tons of options in making those weapons, much more than in Dark Chronicle).
The Atelier Iris series didn't do much for me though.
I like all RPG's really, but there is just something about the JRPG.

I am quite the Dragon Quest fan.
Most JRPGs I just stay away from. But every now and then, the occasional Baten Kaitos Origins, Golden Sun, or Dragon Quest V will come along to brighten my day.
I like all my games to be lighthearted. No angsty heavy blah blah Final Fantasy crudskies. I like the JRPGs that make you feel like the story was written for the player, instead of the other way around. Case in point, my favorite Final Fantasies are III and IV.

Yes there are JRPG fans out here. I am surprised you haven?t found them? have you looked under the rocks where you normally fined the RTS players? Before you all start raging yes my rock is very nice this time of year!
moving on you must see where the mass are coming form on a lot of points. For starters a game not starting for the first 6 or 7 hours isn?t passing that?s just fucking about. And the creepy thing that things like Persona games have got going on where you play a normal life of young children flirting with young girls? especially when older people will be playing the game? well it a bit creepy to say the least Oo
also JRPGs have a habits of almost putting game play in as an rafter thought as if they are only there to brake up what is extensively a very very long Movie.
Although I do love JRPGs I am a bit embarrass of it because I see why there is all the hate?

favourite genre since I discovered FF8... I played FF8 and at the time (I was 11) I saw the game as godly... then I discovered that there's many games like it all in the same genre, each with their own unique style but keeping all the stuff I loved in each one... 10 years later it's still my favourite genre... I'm just getting a bit fed up of how things like random battles and turn based systems are degrading though
No need to paint all escapist forum goes with the same brush. Though that dose bring up the question, you have an account here so do you hate JRPGs?Mr.Lucifer said:
If you prefer your JRPGs with some humor in them, try Shadow Hearts: Covenant. It has so much humor in it that the only way to take it seriously is as a parody of JRPGs. The combat system is original and the plot is so hilariously overdone it's like nothing you have ever seen(one of your party members is a gay vampire professional wrestler who talks like a he got rejected from a super hero audition and another member is Anastasia Romanov... yes, that one).Songbird-O said:
Essentially it's what you would get if you took a history book, combined it with a JRPG plot and added in the Lovecraft mythos (Lovecraft is even a minor character in the third installment of the series) and a massive amount of references and homages to classic horror and literature.
I love me some JRPGS. I usually hate on WRPGS ( But Fallout and now Bioware has gotten me intrigued.)
As mentioned like 50 billion times, my favorite RPG series of all time is Shadow Hearts.
