I’d say Blue Dragon would be the best ‘starter’ RPG on current gen consoles I’d say, its a very easy RPG compared to others.

@ Sheriff Wyatt

I haven’t actually play Star Ocean:TLH myself (yet), but I have had a great experience with Lost Odyssey.

Actually I think Tales of Vesperia may be a good place to start, it is a little less ‘full on’ for someone with no experience with the genre. Real-time battles are also a plus if you aren’t into the turn-based combat found in Lost Odyssey.

Let us know how you go with that, I’m always interested in seeing others ‘get into’ this wonderful genre.

Cheers

I have never played a JRPG before, but have been keen for a while now to give one a go.

I was thinking of getting the upcoming Tales of Vesperia as I have read a lot of positive things about it, but after reading this great review I am thinking that maybe this might be a good place to start.

Any suggestions for someone with zero XP in this genre ?

Well we are always open to the possibility of “Guest Contributors” – so long as they meet the Editors standards, then there’s a high likelihood that ppl can get their work published. But it does have to meet the standard, and there are some requirements of the contributor to help that article get seen.

I love the variety of reviews, and the articles we are getting lately.

Game wise, hmmm, just not that caught up in JRPG’s – sorry Sutton . .don’t shoot me .. now give me a decent and enjoyable FPS or even a good TPS and a solid race game and flight sim (semi0sim is fine also) then you won’t see me for dust. ALthough, I must say, Red Dead: Redemption is looking %$#*@ing fantastic lately, but that’s another story.

Agreed.

It would’ve been a great review even for a regular. And whilst I’m a bit iffy on the score he justifies his stance well… Well enough in fact that I’ll be checking this title out now.

Great review from Endgamez, an OXCGN guest contributor. I’m going to get stuck into this soon, can’t wait.
