The Last Remnant has been released today in all countries, a first for a Square-Enix RPG. Like many others I didn't expect much from this game, so it's a surprise for me to have enjoyed the first hour so much. And even technically, especially for a UE3 game from a Japanese developer, the game isn't too bad with so far a quite good framerate during the exploration parts. It sure slows down during fights, but since it's not realtime it's not such an issue. More videos tonight and tomorrow!
Update 3: Part 4 in now available. I'm done for the moment, but maybe some more videos showing more of the game will follow over the week-end.

Exactly. I hate JRPG convention of getting you to the end of the story, but wait! You need to grind now for 4-6 hours to be able to defeat the final boss! If the combat was at least interesting it would be somewhat ok, but it tends just to be too repeatative. And given that JSRPGs exist, you think there would be a decent marriage between the two by now. I mean Fallout has existed for 10 years now. You'd think someone would take the idea and run with it.

I have to agree with you on the KH comment though.
Running away from every random battle is not the way to play a JRPG :P

Which would in turn make them a different genre.
Why do dev's have to change a game to suit your taste when they're trying to cater to the people who have bought their games in the past, who understand and like the kind of games they make.

edit: I know you hate this fact, but complete stagnation in JRPGs is a reason why almost all the games from the genre other than FF or DQ bombed in the last several years.

Well many PS2 fans would disagree with you on that.
It doesn't matter if JRPG's are stagnated, because the people who buy the genre are happy to play them.
Blue Dragon may feel like a SNES game but its without a doubt the most emmersive experience i have had on the 360 so far (and i didn't even understand the language)
Fact of the matter is that most people who like JPRG's play them for the story line, no other genre can compete with them in terms of story telling IMO.
IF FF and DQ are the only top selling JRPG's, I guess there is no need for Tales of Series, Grandia, Wild Arms, Shin Megami Tensei and many others.
Many JRPG's sell well, maybe its just that the only sucessful ones are FF and DQ series outside of Japan.
Like I said though it seems you don't like JRPG's so why you even come in here is anybodies guess.
Besides FPS are able to evolve due to what the game is, a turn based game is just that, not much can be done in terms of innovation.

That one of those horrible PC click and point PRG's isn't it ?
And the answer would be no.

I'm not saying there is nothing wrong with JRPG's.
Take FF12 for instance SE tried to change it and it kind of bite them in the ass, many people were disappointed by this, it still sold well but it goes to prove that evolution just isn't suited to some types of genres. (especially when fans are expecting something similar to the last game)

I think Jolly is unintentionally wrong while being essentially right.
The jRPG genre, looking at the latest ones, without a doubt has evolved just as "little" or "much" as FPS have since Doom, but while Jolli seems hopelessly lost in the FPS genre, the same seems true of szaromir in regards to jRPG.
Opinion is at play here. Preference and opinion. A game should never aspire to be what the single person wants. It should proudly represent what it is, and let gamers that are interested gravitate towards it. That is true of any genre, and if you think football would be better off played by hand you should really just check out handball.

Yes, I know it was a different genre(2D to 3D), but you get what I'm saying. Just plain wrong..
Anyway, Don't mind me, carry on.

Blue Dragon allows you to go up and attack what you choose on the battle field, enemies are viewable on screen, no random battles.
It has a charge and wait system, where you position your characters attack on a turn bar for better strategy.
Here is one example, you can't expect ever game to innovate.
Shin Megami Tensei allows you to change form during battle, creating new spells and abilities.
I also mentioned FF12, that was real time movement and turn based attack's.
I don't know why you have Kingdom Hearts in the same genre as Final Fantasy x as one is realtime and one is turn based.

Fair enough, but if you want to see something different, go play Valkerie Profile 2.
That is still turn based but very different from your average JRPG in terms of gameplay.
Trusty Bell seems to offer different methods of fighting and combat also, so I don't think JRPG's are as stagnated as you claim they are.

In theory Shadow Hearts is also innovative (I played this game too, but forgot about it;p). But in practice the system is shallow and unbalanced and despite very interesting setting the gameplay bored me very quickly. That's why I don't like JRPGs - they should spend more time designing these combat systems but also testing and balancing.
