what jrpg are you playing right now ?
- Thread starter isual
- Start date
It's true for World 1, where enemies drop plenty of grass, but if you're going through other worlds, you're forced either spend souls on it or go back to World 1 and farm it as you can't get any decent amount otherwise. Either way, it's tedious, some of the worst parts of Demon's Souls for me.
I'd like to note that I don't think * Souls games belong in the "what jrpg are you playing right now ?" thread, but I'm not really interested in starting a genre discussion either.

I just started Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell of ar ciel, and I have a question for anyone who is familiar with the game (I didn't want to bump an old thread). What is the meaning of the green bar gauge at the bottom right of the main screen as you travel around? I can't find any reference to it in the manual:

Think of it as your 'random battle' bar. Once its empty, you won't get into any more battles in that area until you exit to the world map and return.

Thank you!
Finding it Impossible to find a Thread about Namcos Tales series. I figure if you enjoy JRPGs you probably enjoy the Tales Series. My First and only tales game was "Tales of Symphonia for the GameCube. I played through the entire game multiple times.

Not sure if Kingdom Hearts is considered a JRPG but I've been playing that on PS2. I also have a copy of Final Fantasy X-2 which I've barely put any time into. same goes with Final fantasy IX.
May of the JRPGs I have I have been unable to Beat. Final Fantasy 7, 8, 10, Blue Dragon, Enchanted Arms
I never owned a PS1 or a PS2 so there are any JRPGs I bought off Ebay for PS1 and 2. Most of them Factory Sealed
In 2010 I was able to go on Ebay and find Brand new FF8 and FF9 and FF10 and FFX-2 and Dragon Quest 8. Final Fantasy 7 was only available used

last remnant, it is better than FF13
Tried playing Ni No Kuni, but after 8 hours of play I don't feel particularly motivated to continue. I just received my first party member and the entire battle system broke down because of the inane AI.
EDIT: also, although the art style and visuals are very impressive, the texture work is pretty lackluster in terms of complexity and detail. This severely drags down the character designs, imo

Just started Laxius Force on OnLive. It's an indie developed classic RPG. It's been surprisingly good so far and captures the classic feel great!

Still playing FE Awakening to fill dat support log. Other than that I'm about to start this game. With any luck it will be good. It's my first game in this series so we'll see.
I'm playing the original Persona, the PSP version which I download for my Vita. It's alright. The persona system in this is just annoying as hell and kinda tedious. Every time I get a bunch of spell cards to fuse personas, either level 50/60 personas come up which I can't fuse, or personas I already have come up, so I'm finding it difficult even getting some. Then the whole affinity thing is annoying, separate character and persona levels, levelling the personas up, not to mentioning getting spell cards in the first place is annoying as hell. I don't mind the battle system or the dungeon crawling, but I'm really not digging the persona and character development system (exp varies depending on character involvement, which is not helpful at all). I wanna try and finish it at least, but I'm not doing the Snow Queen route.

Slowly playing through Persona 4 Golden and really enjoying it. I'm about 31 hours in.
Also playing Demon's Souls, but I might take a break from it for awhile. I think I'm getting somewhat close to the end, but I'm pretty board with it at this point.

Finally started Persona 4 (PS2) a couple months ago and about to return to it. I'm probably 75% through. I bought the game in November 2008 according to my Amazon account, so yeah...I took my time getting around to it lol.
Persona 3: FES - Highest priority. Found the Disc which I lost shortly after release. Replaying it all the way through since someone stole my PS2 Memory card
Final Fantasy XII - Second Highest. I know this may sound like a shitty excuse, but I cannot stand how blurry the game is. It's great, but the blurriness gets on my damn nerves.
.Hack//Infection - Eh...I want to play it, but I don't feel like grinding. Whenever I turn it on I just relax to the beautiful soundtrack
Kings Field IV - I honestly do not know what to do.
My PC broke down and my friend friend my DS Lite's motherboard so I'm stuck with a PS2. I still need to finish Ys 1 ;__;

This thread is neato.
I'm kind of in the middle of several at the moment. I took a break from the genre for a few months and decided to come back to it after marathoning platformers (read: Mega Man).
Zero no Kiseki: I put this on hold so I can finish Ni no Kuni and get some stuff in FF5 done. So far, I like Sora no Kiseki: The 3rd better than this one, but now I can definitely see why Xillia 2 got compared to it so much. I'm getting used to the cast, and it's pretty awesome to be able to explore bits and pieces of Crossbell because it's so styled in terms of the 50s, a far cry from Liberl's setting. And again, I enjoy the callbacks and cameos from the Sora games a lot. Completely worth having played them prior to this.
Shin Megami Tensei: Soul Hackers: I just played up to Warehouse District portion. I'd originally played it on the Sega Saturn, and it was such a great game with a great setting and script (and the degree of customization that the game afforded to you was very interesting for me at the time). The attack animations are better in this version, but I wish the sprites looked a little cleaner. Auto-Battle is a nice addition for easier battles and getting through them faster. And I've always liked Soul Hackers' music. You get jazz, ambience, techno, etc. Tons of variance on the soundtrack.
Final Fantasy V: Rolling a Black Mage/Berserker/Beastmaster so far this year, and it's going better than expected. Freelancers help out a lot, and Black Mages are excellent for the beginning of the game.
Ni no Kuni: I was supposed to finish this off last weekend and then my PS3 bricked (with the disc still stuck inside!). Picked it up on Tuesday, and had to redo a ton of stuff from when you got a mode of flight up until the final dungeon. Right now I'm halfway through that, so I'm on pace to get the game done. And I want it done. I don't like it very much, to be honest with you. I felt that way about it when I'd first started playing it back when it released. For now, this game gets priority.
Treasure of the Rudras: This game's always good. And I got a repro cart for this game as a late birthday present recently, so being able to play the excellent English translation on a SNES feels like a complete boon for me.
Additionally, I'm at the end of the first Mega Man Star Force (and have been since... March, maybe?), but for some reason I can't muster up the enthusiasm to finish it off. One day, though, because I want to get to the other ones. It's not too bad, but it's not MMBN.

Ah, good luck. I hope you like it. I've stopped recommending it as a starter game for the series because the second one improves on every aspect so much (ie: many people tell me that they don't really enjoy it). But with that said, it's the only one that is readily available in English, and it's a great game in its own right.

Xenoblade. I'm not doing any of the sidequests, 85 hours into it, and it. just. won't. end. I'm honestly kinda over it.
Planning to start FE Awakening soon myself. Can't wait. And Suikoden is awesome. A charming, sprite-based RPG with a sweet Headquarter system.
This sounds lovely. Don't have a Vita myself, but from what I've seen, dat screen seems perfect for PS1 RPGs.

It really is. Final Fantasy VIII, Tactics, IX and Vagrant Story all look amazing on it. FF VII is pretty much required to have it or PSP anymore because of how ugly it is.

It took me a while to adjust, but when you realize you'll be doing most of your fighting with them anyway, it makes things simpler to understand.

Went back to EO4 to finish it up. My 3DS backlog is already gaining traction (Fire Emblem Awakening, Soul Hackers, Denpa Men 2, VC stuff) so I gotta clear it out for the coming summer/fall stuff. Animal Crossing and MH3U are eating up a lot of time I usually dedicate to the genre.

The battle system in incredible once you get used to it.
I've moved on from P4G after sinking lots of hours into it and I'm playing Trails in the Sky. Simple RGP but very good.

I'm on disc 2 of Final Fantasy IX. Years ago when it was first release I got near to the end and never finished it. Trying to fix that now.
Playing on my Vita.

Currently playing XIII and loving it, but I have also flirted with picking up The Last Remnant a few times over the years. I always thought it looked pretty damn good, so I need to go ahead and check it out at some point. I have been out of JRPGs for far too long. They actually seem fresh to me again.

Still....NI NO KUNI. This game never ends.
