Those games would be amongst the most relaxing, were it not for the crazy scheduling you have to keep to meet everyone's requirements. It's presented as being a really open system, but it's surprisingly unintuitive.
I see someone is enjoying Totori.
It's a pleasant game that doesn't explain itself very well. I like it. Cordelia is cool.
Yeah, I would suspect this is a big part of why all the games are available on PSP/Vita at this point; they're relatively easy to get there and their design schemes benefit.
Now, they could radically change P5's structure, of course. Who knows!
Yes, this is what I meant. Apologies for mincing words.
Sigh....me too.
Dude, I watched 2012 again the other night and good lord he absolutely killed it.
That's what made me stop playing
I never got very far. lol, couldn't remember exactly who that was in your avartar so I googled it and found a GAF thread and this. Times a' changing!
That's what made me stop playing
I got the true ending, and having watched that, I can't believe that they didn't make that more accessible. It pretty much changes the entire dynamic.
Wow! A whole year ago, too!
That was before I got into Persona. P4G basically revitalized my interest in JRPGs. FFXIII did a number on my attitude towards the genre. I've definitely made a concerted effort to try more things outside my comfort zone though. It's been a rewarding year.
Sounds interesting. I'll go back to it after I finish SMT IV for the podcast, Persona 2 because that got it's claws in hard, and then P3 again because I want to play it again after all this talk, and then Project Diva is too soon and oh god too many games.
Yup, Persona did the same to me too. Played it last summer, and it's the thing I hold responsible for falling in love with both JRPGs and Anime all over again.
HURRY. UP.
Use this as motivation, or something.
P3 got me back into JRPGs for whatever reason, though mostly Atlus JRPGs.
I can understand that. I'm still picky, even in being willing to try more things. Like, I'm fairly certain the buck stops at Atelier as far as me and NISA games are concerned.
Only NIS game I can tolerate is Disgaea, but even then, I only go through the story. I don't have the time to grind for all the super secret stuff.
NISA are stellar writers when it comes to a certain series that I know you prudes are afraid to play so I won't mention.
They can be funny fuckers when they want to be.
That just makes me want to play P3 more!

Tales is getting there for me. The art is a big sticking point for me, but Xillia 2 seems to finally rectify that and if I'm saying I like Atelier, I probably won't be able to get away without playing that one.
I got into RPG's with Paper Mario and pokemon. Once I realized the former ship had sailed and since pokemon takes so much time time between generations I started looking for other games to get my fix.
One day I heard about this weird series. There were regular people in a modern day setting with a major character I could relate to that the rest of gaming had yet to touch with a 50 yard pole. And there were monsters to collect and customize.

It was Atlus who got me back into JRPGS with Persona 3 and Demon Souls. I'm still not that interested in the genre as a whole though.
Yeah, that's where the themes originated from. Although one can argue that Persona 4 may or may not have handled it with more style.
Ahh yes, the Harem Queen. What a name.
You'll find P1 to give you major vibes from more than just P4. When you finish be sure to get buddha going on his theories. Absolutely fascinating.
I started JRPGs with Lufia and the Breath of Fire games.
Before that, I was doing RPGs forever, from Bard's Tale and Ultima 1 to the Gold Box AD&D games.
Ha. I'm not quite old enough to have experienced Ultima 1... That said I got to experience Eye of the Beholder on the Sega CD, so it's still a favorite of mine.
Due to hand me downs from cousins, I also had copies of Wizardy VI and Wizardy VII on the PC.
I never stopped playing JRPGs. There was a period of time there where I was disappointed at what JRPGs were not available on the HD consoles however.
So many series just died during the jump
Same for me. Dungeon crawling bores me to tears so P3/4 and the Tales games are the only JRPGs I've been able to enjoy, excluding Pokemon. Kingdom Hearts too I guess. I'll eventually retry to get into the SMT games though. Also P2 (P1 is currently boring me to tears).
Wild Arms

Wild Arms is something I always felt would translate to HD very well. Imagine a steampunk setting with the visual landscape of Red Dead Reption and the cel-shading of Valkyria Chronicles. For added points, play The Ecstasy of Gold while you imagine it.
Actually, it's kinda how I picture Persona 5. Basically a fully realized Tatsumi Port Island/Sumaru City with battles taking place in the environment, but turn based.

Funnily enough, the map theme for Wild Arms Alter Code F (which is wonderful, by the way) actually IS L'Estasi d'ell Oro!
That song's amazing though. Definitely one of Morricone's best.
Yes I know, hence why I suggested it. It's also the map theme in the original Wild Arms; Alter Code F is a remake. Michiko Naruke is a very talented composer.
If I recall correctly, she got permission from Morricone himself to do the homage.
Wild Arms could also really benefit from the advancement in third-person exploration technology. The puzzle rooms were always fun in the game.

I wish they'd just give us one last proper sequel. Tie up all the mysteries and give me closure.
A miserable pile of anime tropes.

My 1st JRPG was Chrono Trigger
EDIT: Hah funny you all brought up WildARMS, I have the first two WildARMS on my vita. I should really get to playing them soon
Original OP is boss
The DS version when it first came out, I'm sad I started soooooooooooo late with JRPG's

Nice. They had Yukkio and Chie giving out bags at 2012. You can see them in one of the behind the scenes cuts.

You dissapoint me greatly.
There's... There's a Scooby-Doo reference in there though... right? Doesn't someone say "zoinks" at one point or something?
Edit: Also, about that Rise: Mui did it better.
