Yeah, I like animu much more than orcs and elves and hobbits and shit, or Star Wars.

Well, it's not our fault you have such bad taste.  UGUUU

Demon's Souls is a fantastic JRPG, but it doesn't fit the mold.

It's more of an action-RPG anyway, right?  I'd like to try it sometime

Yep, action-JRPG but totally awesome.

You should play Fallout 3 then. Or Vampire the Masquerade. Or Jade Empire.

I've played and beaten Fallout 3 and Jade Empire already - loved Fallout, hated Jade Empire. Vampire the Masquerade sounded interesting (as did the Arcanum game from the same company), but I heard both games were an absolute mess of bugs.

Vampired the Masquerade is mostly fixed thanks to fan patches. I played through it over a year ago and worked just fine.

Stop playing animu RPGs, man. Life's too short.

I'm pretty sure that FF 13 is gonna be the last big budget, cg heavy animu wankfest jrpg ever.  Which is awesome, I haven't liked a game like that in two gens.  Moar Fire Emblem type stuff, plzkaythnx.

Wait are we hating on weeaboos now?

Then you gotta hate me cause I love me some jRPGs like Baten Kaitos, FFX-2, Tales of series!

Bring it on, BioWare biatches :punch :gun :punch

We're willing to except Baten Kaitos because it's awesome, FFX-2 we'll except because it comes across as a parody of animu RPGs, and Vepseria is the best JRPG this generation so we'll except that too.

wtf, abyss was superior to symphonia in every important aspect. (gameplay, story, less cringe inducing weeabootastic characters)

the only area that symphonia beats abyss in is load times, that's it.

Valkyria (and Demon's Souls) is vastly different from your typical animu JRPG, so it's in a weird place in this battle between the Red Blooded Murrican RPGers and The Weeaboo ex-pats. It looks all weeabooie, but doesn't really play like one.

Those are "exceptions" to the JRPG lockdown.

Yeah, it was clear that Troika had no idea how to do realtime combat. Writing, quests, voice acting, setting, and atmosphere were all some of the best of any RPG though.

Presea and ESPECIALLY Collette were way worse than Anise.

I don't get hooked to JRPGs anymore, except ones that I've already played and enjoyed.  like FF6 and 7.  I get hooked like shit to wrpgs.

Those games aren't the JRPGs everyone is hating on.  It's the traditional turn-based stuff that's getting the hate.  Not strategy/RPG and action/RPGs.

it seems to me that there are more "different" JRPGs than "standard" ones recently (where by "recently" I mean "the last 9 years")  I don't really get where the complaints of stagnation or whatever are coming from, at least in terms of game mechanics.  but whatever.

Turn-based JRPGs appear to be flatlining.

If by "different" you mean "shades of creepiness" then yeah, but then again you're the only person who has said with a straight face and complete lack of appropriate shame that you intend to get this, so yeah.

FWIW, I've never played any Ar Tonelico game.  I've listened to the soundtracks though.  I'm not much for the loli stuff either, but Gust's sound team are some of the best composers in the industry today, and their lead music composer is also the director/lead writer/lead game designer for the AT series, so I dunno.  I sort of suspect Advanced Theory applies here.
