This generation was fine. Too many diamond in the roughs though.
Sure, 'New exciting things came out like Shin Megami Tensei and Shadow Hearts.' There were the instant-classics too. Zelda, Final Fantasy X, Dragon Quest VIII, You know what I mean.
The best ones are the ones no one gave the time of day. Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirts was beyond amazing in every aspect. Its a shame everyone was too busy with "bigger, better things", games like this went unnoticed where typically unnoticed games like Suikoden and Disgaea blew up. Disgaea and Suikoden (III, IV and V) were all though don't get me wrong.
RPGs are going more and more mainstream, I suppose that goes without saying though when games like SMT and shit are heralded as gods of games even though I didn't find it particullarly fun whatsoever. I personally hope the next generation of RPGs stick to the tried and true methods. I like them better than all this new shit that's coming out. I don't care about spinning wheels in battles and crazy comboattacks with cinematics. Make a good game, End of story.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
