The last one I played and liked? Probably Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age, because I love that game. There's been more recent ones that were okay/good, but none that I've played through more than twice, whereas I've played through Golden Sun more times than I care to admit.
I like a few JRPG's, but rarely for Gameplay. Final Fantasy is a good example.
I love outlandish story lines that take place in a world which seems to have a bunch of nations almost certainly trying to stab each other in the back, which is kind of hard when your victim is trying to stab you in turn, so it becomes a game of ring a round the rosy.
I love that, and sometimes, when the character is properly developed (and preferably doesn't go on and on about the responsibility that has been placed on him and so on, yada yada) I can grow to like them. But what keeps pushing me away, for weeks, months, perhaps years at a time, is the turn based Combat. Hell, is it boring. I can see the use of attacking in such a way that allows you to finish off the opponent in a nice cinematic way, which is the RTS way. I can see the use in a gameplay mode that allows you to tear someones head off and shoot their corpse, which is the FPS/Fighting game way. But in the name of all that is slightly violet purple, why do we have a gameplay mode where we politely take turns in throwing Fireballs at each other, without the ability to dodge, run or counterattack? And we have to do this Every time we find an enemy who wants to play?
That continuous grind to get to the last boss has always had me eventually changing the game for something that I can actually blow the pent up steam off.
The storylines can be fun, the characters can be fun, the scenery can be stunning, but Turn based Games will always leave me disappointed. Thats why I like Dynasty warriors, even if it is incredibly easy and repetative: Watching the death count rise to over a 1000 while your entire side sits and watches can be amazingly fun. Its like Genocide Made Easy.
Also this is my first post, How are you?

Good question! Though ive been a big fan of the FF series, ive been steadily losing interest in Jrpgs. Maybe ive grown too old for it to apreciate a typical japanese moral filled storyline. Maybe I got tired of silver-haired villains. I dunno.
The last one I played and enjoyed would be Final Fantasy XII. I heard some people hated it but I think it was a good game.

Try Disgaea 3, in which case the PROTAGONIST is silver haired and you explore a school for demons called Evil Academy as you try to defeat your Evil Overlord father by becoming.... A HEEEEERRRROOOOO!Biek said:
Cot damn, that game is awesome. Valkyria Chronicles is also a good one.
Star Ocean: The Last Hope.
It was alright. I never liked the idea of a spacey, futuristic RPG that still somehow manages to put swords at the top of the hierarchy of weaponry.

well I replayed Golden sun the lost age recently, as for new games I quite liked Blue dragon and I'm still waiting for Tales of vesparia to come out in Europe.
Kingdom Hearts 2, The World Ends With You, both of them are awesome. I especially like the battle system of both of these games.
I recently replayed Golden Sun and Golden Sun 2 and that reminded me why they are my favorite JRPGs and RPGs.
