Excuse me but I have a fairly silly question for post 1.0 (rambling included)

Tales of Symphonia, Grandia 2 and Chrono Trigger would disagree! ;) Although one can always think of things that could be done better in those.

You have a point though.. "modern" JRPG are total.. well, disappointments. But hey, when was the last time you actually played a character driven RPG ? Where you liked the Characters? Western or JRPG ? (For me, Only Mass Effect / Dragon Age Origins comes to mind) - and of course older PC RPG's

I mean, did you look at "The last Story" ? Apparently that is an JRPG and we have such shining choices in dialog as "Accept this Quest Yes/No" or "Be a total idiot/be nice" .. I mean seriously? Just goes to show that Square Enix couldn't produce a proper RPG even if you hit them repeatable with Final Fantasy 7. Even that game has dozens of huge game design flaws (let me not even get started on the grind nature of that game)

On the other hand, The Last Story has some nifty game elements but again complete hilariously badly written characters.

Pickles from Tidalis has more depth than the entire cast of The Last Story combined!
