[quote name="Lizard_King"]Because it sounds like you're going to try to do all of the hunts or something absurd like that. Strange Journey and, to a lesser extent, Infinite Space are two recent DS jrpgs that are good enough that I still play them while being at home (which is usually not the case). SMT:Strange Journey takes all of the things the SMT people learned from the last few portable outings and puts them in a great first person rpg package. There is, for instance, limited progression but it's based more around your ability to get to new areas with new monsters to seduce/capture than any hard cap. IS actually tries to enter the forbidden zone of sci fi jrpgs, by which I mean it creates mechanics for space combat that are thematically linked to space stuff rather than just having the setting stapled on to the same jrpg boolshit. And Yakuza 3. When I'm not hunting down blind hitmen who know kung fu, Kazuma is participating in a rigged Mexican pro-wrestling match for the benefit of the orphans he takes care of. Etc. [/quote]
