play nocturne, or smt4

i am assuming by this you mean that they are good game where you go kill/breed demons and kill the badguy without loving around with dating sim bullshit

is that correct? (i liked the breeding system in the one i tried)

If you ain't down with the dating sim stuff then you ain't down with the JRPG.

Oh yeah, I guess I should mention I played Phantasy Star Universe and Paper Mario and stuff, I guess I just don't consider those JRPGs because they're so action-y. I'm probably going to buy and play FF7 on steam since so many people are recommending it, thanks for all the great recommendations!

Nah there are definitely action-y jrpgs like every "Tales of" game.

Nah every JRPG has to be a grindy snooze fest where you select actions from a menu.

If you're having fun then you're not playing a JRPG my friend.

Dragon Quest games are generally fun and cool. some of the earlier ones are dated obv but anything from 4 onward is a safe bet. if you do not like dragon quest you are probably a FailTard.

Pretty sure you're the one with the extra chromosomes, my friend. You took a console with no shortage of quality JRPG titles and claimed Dragon Quest 8, a mediocre game by any measure, was the only title worth playing.

it's not. You walk through samey dungeons and press o on the same monster over and over again until they get the exact skillset you want out of them and do inane sidequests and mash X so you can get through boring s-link scenes. People like it because it's a socially acceptable VN and that's loving weak.

I want to shoot the person who came up with s-links. If I wanted to interact with these tedious retards I would! Giving incentive to do it just turns it into a chore. Not like getting s-links is in any way challenging, just time consuming.

yeah and this is the reason i hate older jrpgs. ive played enough of those. the whole mechanic is just battles battles battles which are boring as gently caress and then you sit through several hours of meaningless bullshit dialogue some autist made about their 'world'

in persona at least the first four hours of the game i get dialogue options that matter and i can choose a waifu. and battling isn't the main loving point. there's a clear goal and battles happen, but the dialogue/social system is fun too

The jrpgs I like are:
Dark Souls
Etrian Odyssey 1, 2, and 3
Final Fantasy 5
Nocturne
and Every Dragon Quest.

Some dude made a mod of ff6 that makes it harder and adds mlp refs and I like that too.
