turn-based jrpgs

[Omegajak]

one thing i've noticed in particular is how when they are made, its generally for handhelds; all the ff remakes, golden sun dark dawn, nostalgia, newer pokemon games, etc

I think the last big one for a mainstream home console was Lost Odyssey, which I don't think sold very well (in North America, anyway).

You know why one DID?

Persona 3 and 4 baby, YEAH. Oh wait....


Honestly, Glukom, people are just growing up and growing pains suck. You thought you had your shit together with games you thought you knew what good was, and once upon time there was NO argument to FF7. None. before anyone wants to jump in and say they didn't like FF7 from onset, you are/were a minority.

No one remembers, or wants to remember 2001 cause it seems childish, "Dude did you play FF7?!" "Hellz yeah boiiii!" It use to be cool, like Squaresoft/Enix use to be a good thing. Now everyone has either convinced themselves they have better taste or that they had none 10 years ago. Look at Sonic, look at Donkey Kong.

I vaguely remember a turn based JRPG that people LOVED and wanted all up in and couldn't wait (I'm actually still waiting) for the next iteration of: Breath of Fire. Seriously, Dragons? Princess's? Monkey's? Dogs? Tigers? That shit use to make people creme. Now people need more in the battle systems they need shit to be so complicated yet simple. It's a tall order to make a RPG in todays' markets (Must be why Square refuses to do new IP's)but I feel all the hate is a trend and will pass and then the glorious days will be back again. Hopefully we won't be too old to enjoy it by then.


BTW I want to finish Nostalgia so bad honestly that game is Skies of Arcadia 2. Maybe I'm a overhype guy, but I'd like to think the way I felt about a good solid game when I was 10 is the exact way I'd feel and react to it now.
