ok one silly question.... what is so special about JRPGs apart from obvious anime influences? big mistake jrpgs are not based on anime,some games are but those are very few. jrpg's are more story oriented than your regular ones,the character development is deep,the story is engrossing(not original) and the battle system is not press "attack,block,attack,attack". another reason why jrpg's are popular because the games are much more linear than rpg's like oblivion or neverwinter nights.

KC dude, the people at GS are beginning to frustrate me. They gave FF I : AE 7.5!! I know its a remake but 7.5??
I'll buy those games regardless of any score they get.

^^ LOL. Yeah they have changed for the worse over time. It was awesome when Greg Kasavin was at helm. But I still like GS for old times sake.
Tell me man, what JRPG are you playing now?

I am getting FF I and II as soon as they arrive here. If they don't, I guess I'll have to order from Play-Asia.
am playing DQ VIII as of now. Such an old school game man. But its a bit harder than most FFs. Very unforgiving. Just got the ship and doing a bit of wandering around.

^^ Dude, I have been following gamespot for what 8-9 years now and I understand their rating system but nowadays they are going downhill. They give some of the silliest reasons for not rating a game high enough eg. the game is too difficult. FF XI huh? Never played MMORPGs man. But yeah JRPGs are awesome

GS has gotten from bad to worse dude,some of their reasoning is pathetic.their review system is flawed in the first place. IGN,1UP are best for US releases CVG and Eurogamer.net for pal titles.

^ I can understand if you don't like the story BUT the gameplay is amazing in FF XII. The best gameplay in any FF game IMHO. Thats the good part of FF XII, of course the GFX's good too! The problem with the story is that it breaks away from the usual FF mould and turns into a political drama. But it ain't all that bad.

story is ok,not your typical square saga.i didnt like the battle system much ,i mean for gods sake they could have put an option to change the default inverted cam that u use with the right stick.also the battle system is not refined ,i mean it SHD be ATB or realtime ,this is a cross between both.kingdoms hearts batlle system is much better IMO another reason is that i got 360 the same day i got this ,so thisbaby never got the love it deserved.
