About DQ and CT...
I do agree that DQ has deep RPG elements, but it was just the feel of it seemed off. I'm not too sure how to put it, but it didn't feel like all the other DQ's that I have played before.
As for Chrono Trigger, that is one of the best RPGs that I've ever played. I do appreciate the art work solely because of Akira Toriyama (big fan!). True that he did work on DQ 8, but it wasn't the art that put me off. Going back to CT, the themes, characters, and game play were outstanding for SNES game. Actually, more JRPGs should follow or take example of what CT did.
I thought LO had a good story, but the main character seemed static to me. When you go through the dreams and what he did in the past, you makes you wonder how he got so cold and silent in the setting that you were in.
A great example of a RPG that had all the necessary elements is Wizardry: Tales of the Forsaken Land (PS2). Great story, outstanding detail in character backgrounds, deep and calculating strategies in battles, and the music score was terrific. What a prime example of a classic RPG. If anyone should pick this up, please do so.
Anywho... I appreciate everyone's comments =D
