I can't really consider myself a "modern" gamer. Try as I do, the concept of killing my friends online doesn't interest me because I already know i'm better, nor does the concept of being killed by uber skilled asians on the other side of the owrld because I already know they're better. Mainstream online games like CoD / Halo / Starcraft/ WoW etc aren't for me.
I do love games though. Action adventure is my 2nd favorite genre.... But what's my favorite? JRPGs! Those silly little games where there's still random encounters, of course! Who here's a fan of games like Xenogears, FFVI/VII/VIII/IX/X/XIII, Chrono Trigger, Tales of the Abyss(best game ever minus the load times/glitchyness), Legend of Zelda, Disgaea, Shadow Hearts, Persona, Kingdom Hearts, Tales of Symhonia, Eternal Sonata, Tales of Vesperia, Phantom Brave, Valkyria Chronicles, Valkyrie Profile, Shin Megami Tensai, Ar Tonelico... matter of fact it's the epic orchestral soundtracks in some of those games that got me into hi fi in the first place. More importantly, I'm so prone to getting drawn into the silly little quests and wanting to find out the 2 hours of text backstories of all the characters and having the best equipment. I love JRPGs. The "Granteed" part of my name is from a jSRPG called SRW:J btw.
Anyone else into this (dying) genre over here?
