Still playing Tales of Vesperia... after 3 months.
I've gotten really bad at finishing games. Oh well, at least it's an amazing game.

Pretty dope.

I just started Tactics Ogre, with a replay of Pokemon Alpha Sapphire on the side.
SMT IV - finally in
. Game is more fun now that I my party is more varied and missions are less linear.
Persona 3 Portable - Probably should have played this before 4G. Everything feels like a rough draft, P4G without the style. The music hasn't caught me yet either, and I loved all of the music in P4G save a song or two.

Still chugging through Xenoblade, almost at the end of my second playthrough. My goal now is to get Asura armor for every party member before starting playthrough #3 and then doing all of the sidequests so I can
. Sigh. It's tedious, but it's tedium I appreciate.
get everyone's hidden skill trees
I had to learn to give up on the sidequests in order to finish the game. Colony 6/portable gem crafter are the only side missions I really actively tried for.
Is it a grind fest? I want to check it out but I've never played a game in that series before.

Currently SAO: HF(vita) and Lost Dimension(vita) and just bought Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross thanks to the Square-Enix Sale

a bit, their should be a demo on eshop
not a series for everyone
I liked the demo. My thing is that I have a bunch of JRPGs in my backlog and I don't want to take on another game that takes 60 hours easily to play through the story.
I do have a dream of finishing my backlog in this lifetime.

I'm catching up on some old PS2 and Wii gems due emulation. At the moment I'm near the end of Final Fantasy XII and I'm loving it.
Can't decide if I play DQ VIII or Xenoblade Chronicles next. But they all have one thing in commin: they look absolutely stellar with emulation, especially Xenoblade Chronicles with all texture upgrades.

I've been sitting on Xenogears the past couple of months. I got to Shevat and just kinda stopped. I should probably get back to it. Birth By Sleep is another one sitting in my backlog. I think I'm on the Ventus play through after beating it with Terra.
Just beat Final Fantasy IV (PSP) and Dragon Quest V (DS) back to back. Gonna be pretty difficult to top this for a while. 
I've already posted my thoughts on DQ V at the other thread, so regarding FF IV: it's pretty good, probably one of the better FF titles overall (my ranking would be something like: VI = IX > VII = X > IV > XII > VIII > XIII). Very nice pacing (and fast, too! I was really surprised at how little filler there is in this game), cool setpieces, great soundtrack, nice difficulty (something sorely lacking in the series for quite a while imo) and just an overall solid experience. The "true" villain was boring though. I was also a bit disappointed you never got to have a (harder) rematch against Golbez considering he was my favorite boss fight storywise.
I'll probably go back to Devil Survivor Overclocked now. I had started it a couple months ago and was enjoying it before I stopped for some reason.
I'm also planning on starting Dragon Quest II and maybe Final Fantasy I sooner or later.
Though those will have to wait for a while since I gotta start and beat MGS: Peace Walker in order to prepare myself for Phantom Pain next month.

At around chapter 30 of Last Story. Might end up being one of my favorite JRPGs to come out of last gen. Makes me happy they are still introducing new combat techniques. Story is damn thrilling with almost no padding. So glad I have this one another try.
EO's maingame is never a grindfest unless you're really undecisive and choose to respec your skills often

almost done with dragon quest V, might start up the 4th one on my phone or play final fantasy 3 next
Suikoden V isn't sticking so I'm thinking of changing things up a bit. Someone compared Dragon Quest IX's equipment collection to Diablo 3's loot grind, how true is this? Would love a JRPG where you can power up by grinding/searching for new loot too and not just by leveling up. Don't even care about the story, just want a fun turn-based JRPG to play for later.

Made it to the prehistory era in chrono trigger, this is usually where I tune out in my previous attempts. Trying to stick with it!

Just finished trails in the sky and moved onto this. I bought lunar 2 awhile back but figured I should play through the first one. SSH seemed like a streamlined way to do it. Enjoying it, but I also just bought Strange Journey, so that's calling to me as well.
I just bought Persona 4 and Nocturne for PS2. I'm still currently playing Suikoden 2.
Previously I was playing Lost Odyssey. I don't know why but the game started out awesome for me but I lost interest by the end. The battles were really slow and took a long time. They were never challenging, just took too long. It reminds me of FF9 in that. It also turned into a more traditional standard JRPG story than I was expecting from the beginning. Some of these boss battles on the 4th disc are incredibly annoying. The kids irritate me. I also thought there would have been more characterization than there has been. I feel pretty much the same way about the characters on the 4th disc as I felt about them on the 1st disc. I kind of want to finish the game now just so I can cross it off the list.
Last month I said I was impressed with LO and was telling people to check it out. I don't know if I would recommend it now. That's disappointing.

Picked SMT4 back up after putting it down a while ago.
Battle system is a ton of fun, even though I wish I could do less random encounters.
Just witnessed the execution of the Black Samurai and I'm super interested in seeing where the story goes from here.
Eh? The game has no random encounters.

Picked up EO: Fafnir Knight. It's my first of the series and I'm really liking it so far.

I'm about 30 hours into Suikoden 2. I beat it when it came out but it's been so long ago I've forgotten the story so it's all new again. I'm using a FAQ to get all 108 because I didn't the first time I played through. Next up is gonna be Tales of Symphonia Chronicles.
No, not really. You can very much just run away from the spawning enemies unless they spawn in awkward positions.

Awkward positions, getting cornered, and you can't really avoid them if you need to go somewhere most of the time. I realize now I have the wrong word choice, but I'm failing to think of a term other than non-boss battle.

Man great pick. Very different game than xenoblade, which I finished right before this, but I enjoyed it just as much.
Xenoblade and The Last Story is the best one - two punch on a Nintendo home console since SNES.
I went crazy and pre-ordered the following games:
The Legend of Legacy
Dragon Quest Heroes
Trails of Cold Steel
Persona 5
Digimon Cyber Sleuth
Fire Emblem Fates
I have a crap ton of games in my backlog, with these ones adding to the pile.
I already have Tales of Zestiria pre-ordered from before and Yakuza 5 will be bought day one.
Still to pre-order:
Exist Archive
Star Ocean 5
NieR 2
Dragon Quest XI
Bravely Second
FFXV (maybe)
Then I am waiting on word for DQH2, DQ 3DS, SaGa 2015, Berseria, Trails in the Sky: SC and Trails of Cold Steel: 2C.
My wallet is bleeding and these are only the games I can remember right now.
I have missed this (on consoles).

I've been playing Tales of Xilla and I am surprised at how much fun it is.
I am stuck on Xenoblade at the moment. Everytime I go do
I am stuck on Xenoblade at the moment. Everytime I go do
the sidequest for "Save the workers". The enemies do an arte seal on my characters. Is there anyway to prevent that from happening?

Planning on starting Lunar tonight (PSX). Just picked it up last week.
Romancing Saga (SFC/SNES). Never played a saga game before...love this game. Had to put Dragon Quest III and Ace Attorney Trilogy on hold for this.
Getting towards the end of the game. Think I screwed up the elder dragon quest somehow.
