I hope I finish it before I get bored like I always do in JRPGs. The job system is really helping out in the "keep things interesting" department!

Um, Steel Diver Sub Wars is pretty amazing.

Civilization Revolution (360) - It was free. And I really like it. Won my first game with Culture, trying to invade people now.

South Park SoT (360) - So far, excellent on all fronts, except that I couldn't make my character a little redheaded girl. Well, not fully, anyhow.

Playing Strider now. It's wearing out it's welcome...

I just finished paying through Chrono Trigger for the first time in a while, it's still ridiculously good. Everything else now sucks in comparison.

Yeah, I did another run-through back in 2012 and was amazed by how fresh it still felt. It's been almost 20 years, and when I try to think of JRPGs that I would put on the level of Chrono Trigger (as in, games that remain as vivid in my mind), very few clear the bar.

Dragon Quest VIII, FFVII-IX, Star Ocean II... I mean, there have been a lot of solid ones, but how many can you place next to Chrono Trigger and say, "yeah, they're equally great."?

[GohanX]

Final Fantasy 6, that's about it.

[GohanX]

Hey, that would be a great game to play next.

[Andrew]

It really would. It's the best of the old FF's, and the only one Square hasn't bastardized with a horrible rema... nevermind.

For stuff that came after it, I would put Panzer Dragoon Saga up with Chrono Trigger. But yeah, there aren’t many JRPGs in its league. Squaresoft fanboys are pretty awful but I’m not going to hold that against the game.
