Which was a shitty console port.
I wonder what Japanese have against computers...

Yeah, I knew about Last Remnant already, and that I probably don't want to play it. I haven't played a JRPG in a very long time. Well, no good ones at least. My brother was kind enough to pre-order FF XIII for me with the expectation that (1) I would pay him back and (2) getting to play as well, all while forgetting that I don't buy full priced games.
FF XIII isn't what I would call a good JRPG or even a good game... just pretty and shiny.

I meant more in the direction of why Japanese people seem to reject PC as a gaming platform, when in contrast their neighbours S.Korea have adopted Starcraft which is a PC game almost as a national sport.

I wonder if its some kind of national loyalty. When computers and gaming systems came out TVs and gaming systems were made in Japan where as the PC and its stuff was American. As a result they wanted to buy Japanese goods for both nationalistic and economic reasons. (thats whats I've assumed all these years at least.)

Oddly enough, I just found this while organizing stuff a few days ago.

There are three problems with FF VII and VIII.
1) I've gotten too use to not switching out disks.
2) I don't like the price tag that comes with those games.
3) a 640x480 image on a 1920x1200 monitor = fail
[edit] I can play Planescape on my monitor, but it was cheap, I don't have to switch out disks, and the resolution, even without mods, is higher. Also Morte is a far better character than the entire cast of those two games put together, and he isn't even a whole character (not to mention there are others)!
