EASY THERE. We're all entitled to our opinions, but some of the stuff you listed doesn't make sense. For example, the whole 'game over if you die' thing? Um...that's what happens in ALL RPGs, dude.

I'll admit battling in Tartarus can be a chore, but the battles and music are pretty fun, and I had NO problem with how my teammates acted independently. Hell, it made it EASIER for me to focus on the task at hand.

Finally, the whole social system...yeah, it can get tedious, but the rewards are personally well worth it.

tl;dr: Persona 3 obviously isn't for everyone, but it's really not that bad if you give it chance.

When I first saw Sonic RPG, the first thing I thought was "Sonic Battle all over again". I never had high hopes anyways.

Well Battle was actually very good, so that should be a good thing...right?

Anyways, despite IGN's pessimism, I'm looking forward to this. It's about time Sonic started going into some more new territory, if you ask me.

Some of the people in this topic said that Dark Cloud 2 is amazing. I have to say the gameplay was very good, but the story was god awful.Chrono66

Huh. I personally found DC2's story pretty good, better then the paper-thin plot of DC1, at least (then again, Dark Cloud 2 is a VAST improvement over the original).

Anyways, some more RPGs that have yet to be mentioned:

-Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner

-Atelier Iris

-Digimon World 4(really more of an action/hack n slash rpg, but still decent).

-Shining Force NEO (the voice acting could be a bit better though.
