It's still easiest for points because all the achievements are story based so you can't miss them except for one right near the end. It's probably the second easiest rpg in that list for difficulty after eternal sonata too.

Although that one's irritating for points as it needs two playthroughs.

I've still not finished Enchanted Arms because the end boss is so much harder than anything else before it - game ruiningly so imo (not that it was particularly special anyway). It felt I just couldn't finish it without throwing several hours levelling or gambling, and it shouldn't be like that having actually got to the end of the game.

Enchanted Arms is the easiest for points, but also the worst of the lot (although I still liked it). Eternal Sonata and Infinite Undiscovery have had mixed reviews, but Lost Odyssey is regarded as brilliant by all.
I like them all but I would really

Yea, I thought as much. I'm really enjoying Blue Dragon which is a good thing, not normally a big fan of JRPG's, but this one's got me hooked at the moment.

are there any jrpgs which aren't turn based?

FF XII springs to mind if you've got a PS2

RPGs with multiple characters more often than not have some sort of turn based gameplay to them as ultimately its the only way to let you have a say in each characters attack. There are some which blur the line pretty well, Eternal Sonata didn't feel turn based at all, though technically it was.

leowyatt · 25-09-2008, 11:10

ok cool, we do indeed have a PS2

I'd love to do get into rpgs more but don't have the patience for the turn based stuff

My favourite RPG system is still probably Parasite Eve on the PSone. If any game should get a remake, it's that. It was stunning on the Playstation, possibly the best looking game ever made for it, chilling music and a very good story too.

Haly · 25-09-2008, 11:56

Infinite Undiscovery has entirely real time combat, none of it is turn based. Otherwise Eternal Sonata is a good bet too

NokkonWud · 25-09-2008, 12:04

Just talking to Abooie/Steven and he's just completed it this morning (Infinite Undiscovery). He's such an RPG whore.

He's also interested in posting here, so that's cool

.
See... doing my part.

He would

My problem is I always get really near the end of RPGs then inexplicably stop

Have to try to wrap it up and Lost Odyssey before Fable 2 comes out.
