Hello Escapists, as the thread titles says; I want people to recommend me a JRPG to get; but when it comes to titles I barely know one or two.
For starters, I got Valkyria Chronicles, and Resonance of fate, and I have to say, that I really enjoyed both of them, for different reasons, I don't regret buying them at all. I'm really fan of the SNES era JRPGs, Breath of Fire, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy 6 or 3 however you want to call it. I also enjoyed most JRPGs on PSX pre FF VII like Wild Arms and Breath of Fire 3 (Though I don't recall if the late is pre or post, but you catch my drift).
I'm really looking for something that got a little of that old school JRPGs, great characters, a story that fitted them and a combat system that doesn't requires to read a bible-like book to learn.
I got to say, in my country there are practically no titles, I went to a game store, and they shrugged when I asked the same I'm asking to you. They're all up to get imports if I name titles, so that's why I'm asking, to get a little feedback of what's cooking for JRPGs on PS3, and also, why not having a discussion about it? I'm attached to the titles mentioned above, and I kinda reject anything FF like, after the seventh, mostly because everyone tried to imitate it so much it had no substance whatsoever, but I know these games sold quite well, then at least something good about them can be said, so if you're into them, feel free to discuss about it.
I hated that Valkyria continued on the PSP, and Resonance while entertaining, the combat system was either too easy, or too hard, I timed how long can a battle last, and it wasn't much, some people might say it's dynamic, but it was most a race against time, if a battle lasted longer than it should, the one in troubles would always be the player, with that scramble thinga-majigger, and one hit cheap kills. Still, it was fun, frustrations aside.
So, what is there to look for and why would you say "check this one out"?
PS: English is not my native language, so I might be expressing myself wrongly, have my apologies beforehand. =)
