Recommend me some JRPGs for PS3

You couldn't look up and down in Doom. You can now! That's innovation right there!

[toythatkills]

I'll give you that. And regenerating health. But neither have really changed the FPS genre any more than JRPGs have changed over the years and, indeed, from game to game. Every JRPG is different and if there's no innovation in one game, there could be ten different types in ten others.

[Flabio]

The fact is that anyone that claims there's been no change in JRPGs over the years doesn't play JRPGs.

Yup, I don't. Anymore.

The fact is that anyone that claims there's been no change in JRPGs over the years doesn't play JRPGs. I'd love to know what all this innovation and change in FPS games over the last ten years is meant to be because every time I try and play one I just think "oh, it's Doom again with slightly bigger enemies.

Tbh I love to know why innovation means it be a better game , more so in RPG's. To me the most important part to RPG's is the story and cast of characters, with out that a RPG is nothing to me. I really don't give a tosh about innovation in FPS or RPG's all I care about is if the game plays well and is any good or not .

[Sane]

Well to a certain extend I can agree, you don't always need innovation for a game to be good. Case in point: Lost Odyssey. However, I think the problem is more that the entire genre seems to be stuck, as if the developers have no idea what to do with it any more. I don't know, maybe the problem is simply that most JRPG's this generation aren't very good.

I think it's more with Japanese development just being so behind the west on Next Generation development , they're been plenty of amazing RPG's from Japanese developers ( I love Blue Dragon, LO, Val,) but most of the good ones are reduced to being on the Handhelds . I actually think the so called Open World RPG made inthe west are just as boring to play and not really moving on since Fable or Morrowind and lacking a story or cast of characters I care about.

That's what seems to be lacking in most RPG's a set of characters and a story that I care enough about to finish the game

Off topic, but I love your avatar, 'Press Start To Begin'.

Why thank you. It was between that and http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/FCKEdit...et-of-mana.jpg

Maybe I played those RPGs at a time when I myself was just going into the big wide world, full of adventure. Maybe that is why they seem to have more soul then any recent JRPG.

Even Tales of Vesperia didn't click with me. Amazing art, great soundtrack but unfortunatly I didn't care for the characters.

[Fader209]

I'm playing Vesperia right now and would have to say it's the best RPG on the 360 for me.
But saying that it still isn't great compared with other older RPGs I'm playing at the same time: Chrono Trigger - DS, Breath of Fire 3 - PSP and FFIX - PS1

The blocking just isn't fast enough for me in Vesperia! There is a slight delay which has always annoyed me.

What he said.

It's a crime that there's no word of the DS version getting released in the west.

WKC2 is deffo very addicting. I ran through the first game, which played and performed quite a bit better than the International version. The second game starts off even better, but if you've recently played the first its actually one big fat backtrack. WKC is after FFXIII my favourite JRPG of this gen, but its also telling about how average the genre has become. On the consoles at least.

WRPG such as DA:O and ME I enjoyed more than the current JRPG's. They usually let you manage much more, and they can make you change the behaviour of your party among other things. In DA:O I was an ass, and I screwed every woman over. I went to that brothel, WITH Leliana who was my girlfriend and I screwed a whore when she was waiting. Such things are pretty cool imo. JRPG's are always pre-baked, they can't let you do such things.

But WRPG's pay their price for such interactivity; the story is quite non-existant. Its mostly throwaway in WRPG imo. I didn't care for the stories in Oblivion, DA:O and ME2.

lose skirmish and a lot of people -> regroup and recruit new army -> go to a meeting -> go to war and win. Thats pretty much the story of DA and ME.

The funny thing is that S-E had a winner in their hands with FFXII. It seemed to be a perfect blend between east and west but they decided to listen to the minority who hated FFXII and wanted anime and separate battle screens back.
