jrpgs

[harnold]

I want to know what everyones opinion is on old school turn based jrpgs. Personally I loved them back in the 90's when I was young but nowadays I find them to be extremely tedious and just overall horrible game design. there really is no skill or intelligence required by the players for anything other than the occasional dungeon puzzle.

the grind in these games are perhaps the most mindless repetitive and unskilled game play you can possibly get. if you cannot get through an encounter you simply need to grind a few more levels and buy a few more items. I suppose there is a reason that these games faded into obscurity but to be honest most people play these games for their story lines back in the day. well the storylines seems very good at the time, the truth is the vast majority of all the storylines beside Chrono Trigger are horribly subpar.

it is a shame that I no longer get get satisfaction from these games, as these were my favorite games in the 90's but unfortunately as time goes on their weaknesses become more apparent
