Hm I probably wouldn't go saying it the best genre, but the lineup for JRPG for this year, and next year is still very strong. Out of that list, I can't wait for both KH games, The World Ends With You, and maybe Tales Of Symphonia 2. I also need to get Crisis Core, and there is also FFIV DS(I hope it coming to the states).

I think Dragon Quest IX is also turn based.

i dont really like the art style for some of the games but i like the real time ones (the tales series, didnt like the star ocean game i played). I hate most of their voices though, they are terrible as a whole... not that many other genres have that much better voice acting.

i dont play any jrpg's turned base unless you wanted to count pokemon which i havent touched for a year or so since i cant get a ds. i only like turnedbase strategy games. IMO, strategy> jrpgs. unless we're talking tales of symphonia :) then they are equal.

That Cry On art is as old as the hills, I believe Mistwalker have new art up on their website. Atleast, that's what most people (Including me) think. The pictures at the bottom of the Mistwalker sit are for Away, the DS RPG in development.

JRPGs are like watching animes. And fans of both seem to be identical.

That being said, I found Diablo, The Elder Scrolls, Knights of the Old Republic, Fable and generally any WRPG to be better. They are just more involving and in many cases much larger (except Fable, it's pretty short.)

Fighters and JRPGS are my two favorite genres but the JRPGS genre has seen better days and no they are not the best genre on all systems. Hell WRPG's are doing better right now and I don't even like WRPGs.

JRPG: trying to remove the male genitalia of gaming.

On a more serious note, I kind of wish they'd do so something innovate or maybe make a nonlinear game, or I don't know...something different.

Yeah we need more jrpg's! I'm really looking forward to the day when developers/publishers will be comfortable developing/publishing on this gen's platforms(I'm looking at you Atlus!) so that we might see some neat games like we had on psx/ps2!

Personally i do not consider JRPG to be real RPG's, more like a linear story driven movie based gamestyle, with some tedious battles thrown in to make it more addicitve

Only WPRG's are real RPG's for me, and the only genre that is above any other, and of course above the linear movie based JRPG's

So, can we officially add "Played a JRPG" to the list of things saolin has never done? That list is getting HUUUUGGGEEE!!

If you beleive "all" or "most" jprgs are linear, you need to actually pick up a few and play them :D

There is no best genre, only peference. I personally take RTS myself.

Each genre has something to bring to the table thats makes its great.

saolin323

Both are RPGs, each are varied roleplaying experiences. One is more opened based, free to experience a personality and classifaction to their desire, the other allow you experience a premade character, play out that hero or so. You are playing out a character being self made or provided. Its like being in rpg forum, some decide to play actual canon characters, while others their own creation.

It's not really tho there are very few chances to actually control what the character does in a jrpg, i dont mean control the character but the actual actions of the character particularlly where it pertains to npc's and the story/quests. There isn't very much actual role playing in the traditional sense in Jrpgs, not to say that all wrpgs have role playing but generally those are marketed as action rpgs (D2 for example) but there are more "standard" wrpgs that fail on the role playing aswell (Oblivion).

I 'm not as big a fan of jrpgs as i was back in the 90s but i still find them enjoyable especiallly for the unique worlds they are often set, wrpgs have suffered from overexposure in the tolkien/dnd setting recently imo however there are a few space and PA titles coming up to break that up a bit.

You can never say that one genre is better than another really. But that's a very nice list of JRPGs to be sure. I hadn't seen the screens of 358/2 before.

It would be cheaper to buy a B grade fantasy DVD and flick through the DVD menus every 10mins with your remote, it's basically the same as playing a JRPG.

You misunderstood me, i LOVE JRPG's, it is better than watching a movie of course, and they are epic, not many movies are so amazing anyway, BUT when it comes to what i like BEST, that is the real RPG gameplay in WPRG's like Gothic, Fable, Witcher, Baldure Gate, Fallout etc, there is no contest for me, as RPG games WRPG's is the only choice, JRPG's are fun and all, but i am not playing them for RPG joy, but for pop-corn movie watching like joy

I'm not friends with them...

I don't like RPG's all that much, I'm going to buy Crisis Core when it comes out with Europe to see if I can get into it, I didn't really like Kingdom Hearts much or Monster Hunter and they were both action RPG's.

No. Maybe to Anime fanboys (I'm not saying thats a bad thing) maybe .... but tehg ameplay is stagnant, the stories are constantly rehashed.

Its like the sports games of role playing ... add a soppy love story or samurai like story, have boring gameplay, sell millions.

JRPGs where better when they where turn-based and didn't focused on making their overpowered characters look "cool", IMO. I'm playing Suikoden 2 now and I'm loving it, much more than any FF since VII.

Honestly, JRPGs just do....not....appeal to me. WRPGs blow the doors off of them any day, and are where its at for me. But hey, if thats what you like, then its great for you. Just remember that just because you or I feel this way, it doesnt make it a set in stone fact for either side. Its just our opinions. ;)
