Poll: Do you hate JRPG's?

[Onyx Oblivion]

The only thing I don't like about JRPGs is Final Fantasy. People play a few of those games, and then tend not to ever try other, better JRPGs if they don't like those. Final Fantasy needs to go, to give the genre room to grow.

The Grandia series is an excellent starting point for JRPG newbies, with its blend of humor and faster paced turn based combat.

I like JRPGs, it's just that a lot of them have HORRIBLE dialogues.

Valkyria Chronicles, for example, is an awesome game, it's just that half of those cutscenes could be used to torture people just because some character suddenly starts to talk in an know-it-all-tone about what strategy they're using while the other attempts to propel his eyes out if their sockets.

So turn based is always best for a rpg, that way the CPU mobs get one damn attack before I make my one, not 12.[/quote]

This. This a million times over. I hate cheating CPU, and I generally avoid getting games that do so. If you won't follow your own rules, why make them at all?[/quote]

I know they don't like to many offsite links but...

It touches on many old fav games flat out being unfair. As in Civ games, yes the computer IS given crap for free, has cities that do not produces ect. Even in turn based RPG's spells like blind and silence work AGINST us all the time, against the bad guy 50% chance is more a .50% chance.

And PS 3 was a great game with the breeding of the generations of heros. I just disliked the spell system. (Phantasy Star 3 of course)

I love them! But I rather hate when male characters dress like they are about to engage in male on male intercourse...
