The JRPG Discussion Thread

Disclaimer* This is not a ****ty ass WesternRPG thread. get that **** out of here. If you want to talk about crap i.e oblivion, Fallout and what have you. Just go away.

I think I had a really great childhood growing up. Through grade school I was able to live in a neighborhood where if it were a sunny day out. We would all go outside and do something. Whether it was playing soccer,whiffleball, building forts, nerf gun battles, or whatever else a bunch of kids would do in a nice day out.

And then during the winters it would be pretty boring. and I remember one day for xmas getting a ps1 and the game that came with it.

Saga Frontier II

it was my first console JRPG(pokemon for handheld..) and I loved it as a kid. For those of you who played you can understand why one would embrace that game. My second JRPG ever was Lunar II Eternal Blue complete

Then my neighbor let me play FF8 and after needing to return it after a Day I knew someone older than I that had pretty much every ps1 RPG available to the US market. The first game I boroughd as Final Fantasy 7 and from then on I pretty much was able to play every ps1 title out there.

let's cut to the thread.

Wat is a JRPG?

Well if you need the answer to that question then you probably shouldn't be in this topic. Just note if you played Pokemon or FF1 or any Final Fantasy for that matter then you have played a JRPG.

I want this topic dedicated to those users who have played or are currently playing any Jrpg. to post what they are playing and to discuss what's left of the genre out there. Final Fantasy XIII was prolly the last mainstream rpg to come out, although I am unsure about Dragon quest IX. I don;t get much time playing JRPGs anymore becuase I simply don't have the time to do so. Every summer I try to play 1 JRPG and last year it was FFXIII. Hopefully this year I can find time to play Eternal Sonata and maybe Suikoden III if I can get my hands on it.

Although the NBA playoffs are upon is. I will try to finish off where I left off in Xenogears. SO it should be fun picking up where I left off in that great game.

And now I would like to hear some of you who are actually true Jrpg fans ( there has got to be maybe a couple of you out there) Who are eithe rplaying for a game or maybe waiting for one ot come out. if you are waiting for Suikoden VI to come out, might as well put it on your tomb in writing that if once the game comes out you, to have it buried next to you. and if you are awaiting Xenoblade. well, tell me how it is because I sure as hell don;t have a wii and it looks like an abortion of an idea.
