If you only play one of them, I'd say go with the first one since it has a more focused progression and does more interesting things with setting and characters. The battle system is similar to FF12, but the characters have more unique abilities to keep it interesting (plus no gambits for the player character).Capsulejayhttps://twitter.com/capsulejaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362493828562728346.post-45989465141466872282016-07-26T10:38:00.812-05:002016-07-26T10:38:00.812-05:00Thanks for the info. I remember seeing Shadows He...Thanks for the info. I remember seeing Shadows Hearts but never looked into it. I probably should now! And yeah, I had no idea where to start with Star Ocean, so thanks for the tip.<br /><br />As far as new JRPGs... all of the ones I've played in the past few years have been on handheld. But, Persona 5 and FFXV are both coming out soon on PS4 and I'm grabbing both of them for sure. I'm super excited for them!Voidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14547474651935176402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362493828562728346.post-75787458888243993762016-07-26T10:06:13.496-05:002016-07-26T10:06:13.496-05:00I enjoyed this episode. I feel like I'm fairly...I enjoyed this episode. I feel like I'm fairly well-versed in the JRPGs, but there are so many I haven't played. The 16-bit/SNES ones in particular I completely missed.<br /><br />If you're looking for more JRPGs, check out the Shadow Hearts series. The 2nd game specifically is my favourite JRPG of all time. Also, as far as Star Ocean goes, Second Story is really the only entry worth checking out. The later ones were big disappointments with bland characters and locations.<br /><br />Do you have any recommendations for newer (non-handheld) JRPGs? The last one I enjoyed was Lost Odyssey which was almost 10 years ago.Pamhttp://www.cannotbetamed.comnoreply@blogger.com
