MODERATORS
ETA: Whether I find this acceptable probably depends on which ones you tried that formed this opinion for you? You should be aware though that the genre has told some pretty amazing stories and combat styles also vary. Not all are turned based as I discuss elsewhere, for example.
Like honestly if you think Chrono Trigger is a bad game you're just wrong.
Uh, FF7 and various Pokémon games are the main JRPGs I remember playing while young. I've never played Chrono Trigger.
Tbh I greatly prefer turn based combat in RPGs, but I break that down into two kinds. There are isometric tactical turn based rpgs, which I love. And there are non-tactical menu-based combat rpgs, which I don't care for. And it is these that I think of as being a distinctive feature if JRPGS
Isn't fire emblem famous for isometric turn based strategy? I've never played them but they seem popular.
I think so. But aren't they all for Nintendo consoles? I guess I could emulate them sometime. IMO the greatest rpg games are by Spiderweb software, but they aren't too well known
