Great/Classic JRPG this Gen?!

[MeachTheMonster]

Which is for the best. Can play it anywhere. The game will consume you.

160 hours and I still wanna replay my + game.

Also, the first version is still on the PS2 and PC emulators. Granted, Vita got the definitive version in Golden.

Don't know why some of ya'll fools hate on the vita. The pristine screen alone is and that ya'll can't see the forest from the trees within that.

Have not owned a handheld since the game gear.

Even though I love studio gibli I sti can't get over the fact Ni no Kuni looks so childish.. It's not even that's its anime style. The game looks like a Japanese version of teletubbies

I thought that too but the themes in the game are a lot more mature than it gets credit for. I think it's the RPG I have played on this gen.

Also check for:

Nier (slept on)
Resonance of Fate
Lost Odyssey
Tales of Vesperia
Star Ocean 3

What's the difference between a SJRPG and a regular ol JRPG I've heard great things about Valkyria Chronicles

Stratedgy based RPG. Games like Final Fantasy Tactics, Disgaea, Fire Emblem

There aren't any classic JRPGs this generation. That said, the top 5 games in my opinion are:

1. Xenoblade (Wii)
2. Tales of Vesperia (PS3 version/Japanese)
3. Tales of Graces F (PS3)
4. Lost Odyssey (360)
5. Final Fantasy XIII (PS3/360)

i would consider the first two JRPGs on your list classics. Vesperia is probably the best Tales game ever made in terms of story and cast and Xenoblade is definitely a classic.

the plot is weird but once you get that battle system and the part where you build paths on the over world map that shyt is money. the battle system isn't that hard all you have to do is play it long enough to get the whole tutorial

Tales of Vesperia, none of the others even come close

..although I just started Xenoblade on my PC, we'll see how it goes
