Am I the only one who's really bored with old style RPG's?

You know like Dragon Quest 8,Nostalgia,Dragon Quest 9,Blue Dragon Awakened Shadow,Phantasy Star Zero,All of the Tales Series etc.....

You know the typical main protagonist using a plain ole sword that lives in some little house in a made up land that dates back in Mid evil Times?

I am.I've been getting bored with these types of RPG's honestly.There's a few exceptions The Classic Final Fantasy series for one since I grew up with them.....

But as time went on I've been itching to play RPG's with a different atmosphere like Kingdom Hearts,Shin Megami Tensei,Disgaea,Xenosaga,Super Robot Taisen,Golden Sun(Special Exception),Chrono Trigger(Special Exception)Guardian Heroes(Special Exception)Pokemon & Star Ocean Till The End Of Time....

For short I'm bored with the whole mid evil times thing,The incredibly simple turn based gameplay mechanics and the short hours where it's less than 20...

I still love RPG's since their my favorite Genre of Games but lately I've been ignoring alot of the stuff that's been coming onto DS as well as a few other systems like the PS2 and other systems that contain these um boring RPG's....

I hope I'm making sense XD Aside from that I hope your getting what I'm trying to say and I hope no one's pissed off with me for not loving their favorite games XD

But I'm Merely Asking is anyone else feeling the boredom of these oh so typical games?

P.S.I'm totally not into Western RPG's Either just to let you know XD!

 

If you like steampunk crap like what Final Fantasy 7 presented then I guess we won't get along as I don't like steam punk

And yes I absolutely love medieval times with its knights & warlocks lore.

And oh, Super Robot Wars/Raisen is not an RPG, they're mostly Turn Based Strategy Games.

 

Yeah Steampunk THAT'S Perfect.Thnks so much that's the word I was looking for along with Urban backgrounds as well or suburban like with Persona,Devil Survivor and the rest of the Shin Megami Tensei series.

I was also talking about Super Robot Taisen Og Saga Endless Frontier lol but I still get what your saying though aside from that you helped out thnks XD!

 

Steampunk is way over the top for me, but using the present day as a setting just like in Earthbound is something I do like.

And speaking of Earthbound... ever seen this?

FTW BABY!

 

WTH?WTF LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Seriously? Guardian Heroes is more of a Beat 'em Up than RPG, I'd hardly classify it as an old style RPG.

 

Play some western RPGs?

 

Hey cool, you just realised you're allowed to have an opinion just like everyone else!

Also I still love old style RPGs.

 

By western do you mean Cowboys n' Injuns (yeah I mis-spelled that intentionally ) themed RPGs?

Only RPG Series I know off that fits that description is the Wild Arms series & oh yeah in Live A-live! there is a section of it that's set in ye olde west.

 

Don't see how anyone can be tired of the Tales series's... I EFFING LOVE THEM!!!!!!

 

He's talking stuff like Fallout 3 which was made in America.

 

Then he has his game genres mixed up LOL!

 

Well yes.
The typical grind levels, equip better weapons, beat bosses for better weapons has lost it's appeal to me.
That's why the game needs an awesome story line. Which in essence is the core of an RPG.
I love it when they mix things up though. Like comparing DQ9 to Final Fantasy 7.
Final Fantasy 7 was awesome (the firts RPG game I ever played and my favourite to date.) However DQ9 had more "variety" in choosing classes ect. DQ9 also had a lot of humor which I love.
But FF7 had a better storyline imo.

 

did you try The World Ends With You?

 

That's why I always look for Level up to max, have max money & if possible Stop random battle encounters from ever happening codes so I can focus on the games' story & not deal with boring grind fests all day. It's not about being a cheating loser, it's about enjoying the story more in my case

 

I prefer the old style RPG's.
Theres just something more appealing then newer games such as ffXIII, infinite undiscovery, fallout 3 etc
Give me a good old explore, grind, random battles, buy better weapons etc anyday.
Its no surprise DQ9 is getting super high ratings even though its just a 250mb DS game with outdated 90's style graphics. This is how RPG's should be.
Im not fussy what environment its set in, medieval, future, today or even weapons - swords, guns etc its all good as long as its a good game.
I do like fallout 3 its one of my favourite games but I dont class it as an RPG, its more of a shooter.
The snes era was the best for me, those are the style of RPG's I love.

 

Indeed the SNES era was the renaissance era of console gaming history
