[QUOTE="Draylorn"]Agreed. And you know why... it's beacuse most of the jRPGs from that era were all completely different games with good if not excellent original stories and fresh new styles of play. Vagrant Story, Threads of Fate, Legend of Mana, Legend of Legaia, Legend of Dragoon... And now today you get "Oh, it's turned based, BUT, we added (X)!" Great. Thanks. Or "hey, it's also an ACTION game!" - but they fail to mention that the action is nowhere near Devil May Cry or even Dynasty warriors in terms of depth and fun. (There are of course some exceptions; I'm generalizing)
Even a remake/sequel to Vagrant Story would seem fresh at this point (and would be great, too!)
You know what Square Enix should really try their hand at? A first-person RPG, ala Oblivion or King's Field. THAT would be something!

hold on there a sec, are you saying Lost Odyssey, FFX, DQ8. Eternal Sonata, Tales of Vesperia, FF12, all sucked! and the part where they dont compare to Dynasty WARRIORS, OMG your either really ignorant about newer games or just confused He never mentioned the word "suck", read first, if im not wrong he meant that the action in the "new" JRPGs are advertised as innovative but it doesn't compare to the great action games, like DMC(been a fan of DW for quite some time but it's not that great) or Ninja Gaiden 1, agree on that.
I think all those games you mentioned are nothing compared to the old ones either, the light novels in LO for instance are great and really well done, BUT i'd take the War of the Lions story from Fial Fantasy Tactics over it any day of the year.
