Has there been a jrpg in the last 9 years that was not completely annoying?

[josetaco]

I'm just asking because when I was a kid the only rpgs out their were from japan, but it just seems that lately they have been getting lamer and more annoying. I'm not trying to start a fight just give me an example of a newer on that is fun and has a good story.

I'm not trying to start a fight

Well it's probably going to end up like that.

 

[the_pleasure_is_mine]

I havent seen a good one since Final fantasy 10. look forward to 13 next year
EDIT: Actually lost oddysey was sweet.

Has Tales of Symphonia came out in the last 9 years?

If it did, I strongly suggest that one, extremely fun, and a good combat system

 

[Grayjack]

Ever played any game from the SMT series? Those games are great.

FINAL FANTASY VII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(jaja)

no, really?? i think there is none out there, or at least that i have heard of, al FF are the samey, and lately JRPGS are suffering because the vast worlds Western RPG´s have brought with them

 

[quack35]

The DS remake of Chrono Trigger is pretty damn good, although that might not count as the original came out in 1995.

I thought FF12 was ok.

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

Final Fantasy 12 was alright characters aren't too great best ones are Balthier Basc and Gabranth others seem very lack luster and bog standard.

While I agree about the combat being fun, if you want a JRPG that is not annoying then avoid Tales of Symphonia like the fucking plague.

I'd say Mother 3 is a good JRPG. To bad you have to torrent it.

Well this is a waste of a thread. If you do not like the genre then nothing we say can change your mind.
JRPGs have a set formula. Just because you do not like that does not mean they are not fun or have a bad story. So why waste our breath changing someones mind who just hates JRPGs in general?

Yeah, ok, Avy got there first and said it ten times better than I did.

 

[Logic 0]

Does the Final fantasy tatics remake for the PSP count?

 

[Kotaro]

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
And 4. And 3 FES.
Great games.

*chuckles* I suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree. I didn't find it annoying in the slightest...Wait, unless you're counting the half text and half voiced over parts. I hated that!

It's only my opinion but I liked Lost Odyssey, and even Last Remnant a bit. They might not be as great as the heady heights of FFIX (My personal favourite) But Lost Odyssey is still everything I love about them, so no complaints.

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

This is opinion based anyway, so there will be people that say:

"Annoying? What on earth is this fellow talking about?"

Personally, I hate JRPG's, and have done for a good nine years.

 

[Weaver]

It depends on what annoying means. I found the last remnant to have quite tolerable, even likeable in some cases, characters. Most JRPGs have me laughing at the inherent idiocy and cliche character archetypes every character ascribes to.

Also, if you mean in terms of gameplay, I don't really know what to tell you as I don't particularly find the gameplay to be annoying. It sure can frustrate at points, but I don't think I've had a JRPG annoy me.

 

[ZombieGenesis]

Devil Survivor for DS. Far from your usual JRPG, but still awesome.
The World Ends With You- best JRPG story since a number of Final Fantasy that has become infamous despite being the best.
Golden Sun, never completed but still fresh.
Or if you just fancy a giggle: 30 Second Hero.

I agree with this guy Lost Odyssey was pretty sweet, though I couldn't get into Last Remmant, I tryed but the combat system was a massive pile of deal breakage for me.
