I never get tired of playing JRPGs and I probably never will. Not all of them, there are a lot I can't stand, but tons I like. I just finished Mother 3. I remember playing it when the translation first released but I was kind of drifting in a psychiatrist-prescribed drug haze so didn't remember most of it. Fun game, but some seriously wild shifts in tone. I liked how the battles keep you involved with the rhythm matching. I don't know if there's anything missable or any secrets or anything, but it felt pretty complete. I will say the final 2 bosses were huge letdowns. Real final boss was definitely Miracle Fassad. Next up I think I'll play Dragon Quest 3 (SNES version). Kind of feel like I need to play the other ones I've never played as well, 4 thru 7. I don't think I finished 8 either, but I got to the end dungeon. Feel like I need to wrap up FFX HD and Persona 4 Golden, but I feel more connection to older games. Maybe it's because of my ancient decrepitude.

You should play Legend of Dragoon. It keeps you involved in battle and if you can't land Lavitz' gust of wind dance you're a huge scrub baby.

dragon quest owns, mate. i'm in the opposite situation from you: i've played 4-6 (ds versions, as well as SNES V), some of 7, and beat 8. gambling-rpgs are cool.

Doing a crappy QTE for every combat action is NOT cool or 'involving'.

Legend of Legaia is awesome except for the slow rear end over world movement speed. Pretty impressive coming off of making Wild Arms.

What exactly happened to JRPG's? They seem shittier now. Am I just using nostalgia goggles or are they actually way shittier?

Budget inflation and relaxing hardware restrictions killed JRPGs.

i played ff9 for a while and i agree it seemed good. somewhere along the line i stopped playing it though. i don't remember why. i also fondly remember parasite eve because it was just so bananas. i played and beat xenogears, but i'm not sure i actually enjoyed it. by the time the ps2 rolled out i had transitioned to pc gaming though and that's basically when me and jrpgs had a divorce

Legend of Dragoon translation is so loving bad I don't know how I didn't notice it the first time I played it, aside from the obvious instance of "Save your breath, you'll be okay" or whatever -> "Shut up, talking makes you die."

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team was pretty cool, but I dont know any other recent JRPG's. Also FF9 is loving great, real fans know thats the best one.
