JRPGS!

Lol, fine. I'll just get it.

Well okay, what do you want to discuss?

I haven't played a JRPG in a while, but I do have a lot on my shelves. I will have to look through and find something fun to discuss about.

Can...can we get married??   FFVIII is my favourite (and IMO, the best), and was also the game that really kickstarted me in gaming. From there I went back to the older FF titles and then branched out into fantasy RPGs, the likes of Baldur's Gate, etc. It's still one of my favourite games of all time. If I ever manage to find someone to marry, Eyes on Me will be played at the wedding. 

I like all the FF titles up to XIII, which was just a travesty. And it's a damn shame, because I think Lightning herself is a good protagonist - but the story was just complete crap. I never played IX, and I gave up on X with because of the terrible voice acting.   I need to give it another chance though, I know. It's actually a good story, and Yuna is awesome. I was thoroughly impressed with FFV after so much trepidation. I parked it in favour of Andromeda (what a waste of time  ) and haven't gotten back into it yet, but I really like the dynamic. The driving is oddly fun. 

I do like Dragon Quest but I haven't played a huge amount. Sentinels of the Starry Sky was adorable, though. 

My best friend also loves VIII and wants the song at their wedding. But it's a gay dude, so we're useless to each other romantically! 

.hack//G.U is getting a remake for the ps4 I hope this makes it to Europe as the .hack//G.U trilogy didn't make it over. the first fours games did but not this series.

can I ask what consoles do you own? Type of stories you prefer as in fantasy or scfi.

well I would recommend a ps2 that is available on the ps2 but available digitaly on the ps4 store called rouge galaxy it is a fun story set in space main down side is male character only the teammates are fun.
On the more fantasy side I recommend nights of the azure which is a fantasy game which is female character based,it is dark in places but I like the art style and it has sequel with new characters coming out soon both contain yuri elements.
Also a more lighter series i would recommend is atelier there are numerous games often with different characters the main are female. The plot normally with the main character for what ever reason attempts to become a alchemist with lots of character interaction with light romance plots.

Persona 5 is a good rpg as well a fav of mine and some good difficultly options for those new to rpgs a good story fun characters but the player character is male only.
Also there are some fun digimon games as well like cyber sleuth they provide gender options and a darker story than expected for a monster catch game

Yeah I've never beat a JRPG before but I am nearing the endgame portion of Persona 5, Safe mode is also very helpful for us JRPG semi-noobs (I've been TRYING for nearly 20 years to play 'em, I just never finished one before lol). Safe mode isn't TOO easy, but it's helpful for those of us who need a bit of help. Mostly it's leveled me up faster and given me a tooooooooon of money lol...but you can't change difficulty until you do a NG+ with Safe so I suggest testing out the waters with Easy mode before committing. 

Anyway, Persona 5 is my second favorite game of all time after ME2/3 and even though you can't choose the gender/sex of your character or customize them that doesn't really stop me much tbh...the only thing it gives me pause about is the romance stuff, because you can only romance girls and I would rather romance a guy and play as a girl, but that also means you can't romance a guy and play as a guy either. But I mean, JRPGs aren't exactly known for their romance options either, you rarely get a choice if there is romance in it even.
