just got my Skell in Xenoblade X, but in order to do that i had to play it for 40 hours, so i figured a milestone like that was a good time to take a break, so thats shelved for now, plus i dont usually play open world games, so the fatigue was hitting me pretty hard after playing for hours and hours and hours
SMT: Nocturne is also shelved since i found myself at a brick wall where id continue to lose and hour of progress daily
my brother bought me Shadow Hearts: Covenant for christmas, so i'll be starting to get into that soon, so im gonna go ahead and say that

About to pick up Xenogears up on PSN for 4 bucks, any tips before I start?
A shame for Nocturne. Where were you blocked at?
Slowly making progress on Trails in the Sky FC. I think I'm at the point where the story picks up, which is great as I was already liking it before. Only thing annoying me is no fast travels (were I'm at at least), as I'm constantly finding myself backtracking for side quests.

Swinging back and forth between Tales of Vesperia ps3 and Tales of Graces f, trying to figure out which I want to stick with to the end before moving on to the other.
That Gattuso battle is every bit as awful as people say it is, I can't believe Namco decided to use that as a demo fight.

Just beat FF7 for the first time. I can see why it must've been awesome to play this when it came out. I enjoyed it but I couldn't be bothered to do all the optional things. Mainly played it to experience the story. I'm now ready for the remake 
Mario & Luigi Paper Jam will be my next JRPG, if you can call it that. I'm already 60% into the game though. Besides that, I don't know. There are no more rpgs in my backlog. I'm kinda waiting on all the 2016 jrpgs to start releasing. Maybe I should play some other genres now I still can
Wait, that's a lie. I still have cartridges of Fire Emblem and Breath of Fire 1 for the GBA laying around. Never got far I'm both of them. I could play those I guess. Fire Emblem should be good. Those sprites.

the 7th saga on snes. the game is old school grind fest. bosses can kill you with 2-3 hits and it takes a bit of luck to win most battles in this game.

Taking a break from Xenoblade X to continue Lunar on my PS Vita.
Currently playing The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel and I'm loving it! Started a bit slow but I like the world and the development of the characters and story.
I started the Trails series in November and I feel like I can't stop now. I'm already looking forward to Cold Steel II!

Wow, from where did you buy that grip for your Vita? What is it called?

Still getting used to it, but it seems decent.

Breath of Fire IV for the first time on my Vita. Makes a nice compliment to Alien: Isolation which I'm also playing. lol.
BoFIV is a really nice and charming game, my only experience with the series was with Dragon Quarter, which is one of my favourite PS2 games. Even though it's rather generic turn-based combat it's still a really fun game to play with nice characters which I see myself actually finishing unlike some other JRPGs I've started and never finished.

Ar Nosurge Plus- I am about 17 hours into it. Really loving the game so far. Big fan of the Ar Tonelico trilogy.
The game does get harder towards the end and give you more room to explore the depth of its systems. Be sure not to ignore the teachers that you come across.

Been putting it off for a long time, but replaying Persona 4 Golden on a new game + file to try for the platinum. I don't usually bother with trophies and whatnot, but this game is a special case.
How far have you gotten, and how's it going? This is something I've wanted to attempt for a while, but I really wouldn't want to burn myself out on the game that I have such overwhelmingly positive memories of.

Take your sweet time if it's something you want to do. I took like a year to do it.
(well mostly because I fucked up the Rise trophy in my second playthrough and didn't have it in me to start a third one right after).
The nice bonus a midst some of the tedium is that you get to experience the all Social Links Max ending(if you haven't already) which is like a little extra cherry.

ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Enjoy Breath of Fire! The BoF stories can get a bit dark and interesting, especially with IV.
Hell yeah! Everyone should play BoF 4, one of my favorite games of all time! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
I myself continue to play Trails in the Sky, just finished the prologue. I am enjoying it, but it's not amazing yet (except for the music, which is superb!)

Decided to stick with Vesperia for now. These boss fights can be a total pain.

Replaying BOF3. Just finished momo's tower. All mygas's skills were put on Teepo who I managed to keep level one up till he appears, so I never have to bother with mygas again.
Manged to keep Ryu at level one till the end of mcneil's mansion so he's apprenticed with Bunyan form lvl 1.
Managed to keep Nina at initial level till the end of the catacombs so she quickly learned Durandal's skills before I leave Wyndia.
Did the same with Momo who is now apprenticed to D'lonzo, so I should have Steal before the next boss.
First time I'm trying this kind of "optimal" strategy, and it's surprisingly easy, apart from the extra fishing needed to get silver knives before mcneil mansion. In particular, Ryu is a beast having been with bunyan since lvl1.

Just finishing up Xenoblade Chronicles, im just over 80hrs in and i think im in the last area. I haven't looked anything up, but theres been a couple times wheres i thought "this is gotta be the last area?" And it wasnt lol.
I cant believe i waited so long to play this game, it definitely one of my favorite RPGs of all time. Looking forward to starting XCX.

I just started it last night. About two hours in. It got dark fast, wasn't really expecting that.
Persona 3 FES.
Had it paused for about five months... Need to get back in there and finish it. Was at about December I think. Was just getting really good, the combat was getting harder.
FYI - first JRPG I have played in over 15 years. And I have never completed a JRPG before. I actually really dislike the genre - or used to. I decided to give it a fair shake, and P3 FES was my weapon of choice.
Sure enough, it's bloody great.

Over the holiday break I played about 15 hours of Xenoblade Chronicles on Dolphin. I was having an OK time, I climbed up some giant wall and zoned into a new area called Bionis Interior, and on some guides that's barely 1/4 through the game or less. I don't know if I have the patience to continue it, as I already feel like I saw most of what the game has to offer in terms of combat. I was really hoping I'd enjoy it more since I was looking for an excuse to buy X on Wii U, but I just can't justify it yet. Is the story of Xenoblade good enough to keep pushing through?
Maybe I'll try to pick up where I left off in SMT4 instead, although it's been over a year since I picked it up and will probably be painful to figure out again.

Does Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon count as a JRPG?
If so, that's the one I'm currently playing : )

Plot completely shits the bed in the last arc. I felt so wronged by how bad it was.
Character development was never great to begin with, and it never gets better.
The combat is the combat. If you're sick of it now, nothing is changing. Maybe you'll get a character whom you prefer to control. Maybe newer artes will appeal to you. Aside from that, the combat is the "same."
Quests are all standard fare. Go get that. Go kill that.
I was starting to get bored with Xenoblade at about 10 hours. I played until 30 hours waiting for it to get better. It didn't. I recommend playing something better.
Frankly, there aren't enough hours in a day/life. I don't know how many I can manage until I die!
But I'm excited
You only need to play the absolute best of the best, though.Frankly, there aren't enough hours in a day/life. I don't know how many I can manage until I die!
