Vandal Hearts +1000
Legend of Legaia
Wild Arms - Great pick - possibly the worst battle graphics in a game ever.
You can call it a gun if you want. I call it a hose.
Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device. not a gun.
Looks much better. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is the in-battle quick time events. Have never liked them.
The article makes some very good points, but Dark/Semons Souls are definitely JRPG. The distinction between the 2 is only an origin descriptor. If it is anything more than that it is wrong, as there are obvious exceptions to "western" and "japanese" styles everywhere and there always has been.
This is Final FANTASY not Final REALITY.
Ahhh The Dig. great game.

The author seems to have his genres mixed up. While I have no problem with games like tomb raider and uncharted being labelled as adenture games, they certainly don't fit into a list with games like full throttle and grim fandango, and vice versa.
There has still been a good number of great JRPG's released, and it doesn't take a lot of digging to find them. The problem in my opinion, is that they haven't occurred in any big name or hyped titles (final fantasy and some of the earlier titles in the generation). This has caused the greater general gaming populace to miss out on the better examples of the genre, instead playing some average ones (ffxiii, infinite undiscovery etc) and ultimately no new fans are being added to th...
Zelda is an action-adventure. Allthough the systems are similar in RPG's and action-adventures, there are differences which are fairly evident only if you play them.
In my opinion, a lot of what people think are RPG elements being added into modern games (the writer mentioned Batman) can be equally attributed to action-adventure. Things such as leveling, upgrades and the like aren't exclusively linked with RPG's.
What about Dark Souls and Nier?
The picture shows about how much my backlog grows each week.
You do know that ATLUS had nothing to do with Dark Souls?
Wild Arms intro is my pick for the best.
Xbox = (0 degrees)
Xbox 360 = 360
Xbox ??? = 720
At this point in time, with no real project codename or words from Microsoft, 720 is the most logical progression. Whether you like it or not is up to you, but saying it doesn't make sense is ridiculous.
Roc is used as an enemy in Final Fantasy aswell.
Online? Pass.
And Jeanne D'Arc
I am a huge fan of Tactical/Strategy RPG's. Disgaea has, in my opinion, a horrible battle system. Definitely not a good game for beginners of the genre.
Examples of good systems are Valkyria Chronicles, Vandal Hearts (not number 2, it sucks) Jeanne D'Arc, Stella Deus.
Americans. Please stop calling Final Fantasy VI by the wrong name (Final Fantasy III). They made a weird decision releasing it as that, no need to continue it.
7 is my favourite, but I could pick 8 on the right day.
