am i the only one who doesnt like most rpgs?

the ones like most final fantasy's, dragon quest, and just the majority of rpgs on ds in general. the ones that have the battle style where you encounter a monster, then you have to choose "attack/magic/shield" etc. i hate those types! i've tried to like them but i just can't. i'd much rather play a game where its direct combat, like final fantasy crystal chronicles. where i'm actually fighting the monster first hand using the A button or something. does anyone else agree with me?

I don't absolutely hate traditional RPG's, but they do get old after awhile. I really enjoy Dragon Quest IX and older FF's even though they are all traditional in nearly every sense of the word. When it comes to games where I do stuff outside of entering a battle sequence (Crystal Chronicles, the newest Blue Dragon, etc.), it really depends.If it just feels like a mindless game where my sole purpose is to hit the "A" button, I probably won't like it. When the system is executed well though, I can generally enjoy the game as long as shortcomings aren't too ever present.

I'm not a big fan of RPGs, but some are good. Not FF though...I prefer adventure games and open-world/sandbox.

I love turn based rpg's, they are so fun

RPGs like Tales of Symphonia are fun

the turn based style RPG is getting old, but I still like it...

too bad they don't make very many of those for the ds. The best ones I've found are:KH: 358/2 Days
Tales of Innocence
FFCC: EoT

I hated 358/2 Days. It didn't take very long to figure out that the missions were the same ones over and over again.

I love traditional turn based RPG's but not all of them.My favorites are Chrono Trigger and Earthbound, both which have great stories and a lot of content in them. I could never get into the Final Fantasy world, I honestly tried to play it but it couldn't keep my interest.Has anyone here ever played Uncharted Waters: New Horizons? Now that was a great game! They released a version of uncharted waters on the DS in japan only and it's a horrible text and graphic RPG....there's no on screen sprites or controllable characters, everything is done within a menu based system which is not fun and uninteresting, in my opinion they should have stuck with the standard RPG style which allows you to walk around and control your character.I haven't play any final fantasy RPG after 7 which I got into a little bit until someone stole it and my memory card along with it.But yeah, if anyone's looking for some interesting and fun RPG's check these out:
Chrono Trigger
Earthbound
Uncharted Waters: New Horizons
and Super Mario RPG

Super Mario RPG is definitely one of my favorite RPG's of all time, and Bowser's Inside Story is incredibly fun due to the fact that the game play style is so similar.

I love traditional RPG's aswell!! one of my favorite game genres

No you are not the only one. I made a topic like this a while ago. TBRPGs fail at life.

That's why it's so damn popular?Seriously. The only reason people still use it is because it works, and still does.Even if I'm not into TBRPGs, I still like the system itself.

i like turned base rpg like that of phantasy star 4 or super mario rpg. i didn't and never got used to the one like in final fantasy 7 and there after. the battle system like that of tales of symphonia is excellent.

I love TBRPGs! I can do other stuff while leveling, like reading a book or watching tv xDIf you don't like it just stay clear from then. Just like I stay away from FPS because they make me feel sick after 10 minutes.

I love RPG's personally. However, I loved Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles as well (still do). I don't end up hating RPG's because I play other types of games as well like strategy, action, etc. Otherwise I'd have freaked out over attack/magic/defend choices a long time ago.

The only RPGs I've really liked have been FF VII, Crisis Core FF VII, Oblivion, and Fallout 3, oh, and Mario & Luigi. That's really about it.

I only play Turn based RPGs on a emulator with a speed up button >_>.I hate slow paced games.But it depends a lot in the plot and the RNG.
If the game has a bad plot and a battle every 3 steps than f**** it.
