Last Remnant is on of my favorite RPG's ever.  The Xbox version is kind of broken, but the PC version???  Forget about it!!!!

have u played Lost Odyssey?

The Xbox version of Last Remnant is riddled with slowdown (thankfully it's not an action game), has longer loading times and is more punishing than the PC version, but I think a lot of that greatness still shines through. But yeah, the PC version is the way to go.

Yes, I have played Lost Odyssey. I fondly remember putting a lot of hours into that in my first year of college.

I'm really wanting to play a good console RPG right now. I've played alot of action games, but I want some RPG goodness soon. 

If nothing on this blog suits your taste, give Blue Dragon or Lost Odyssey a try if you want a cheap RPG (that is assuming your 360 isn't crashing frequently, of course).

I played Blue Dragon but didn't quite finish it. I left the game right before the final boss area. It's good that it's backwards compatible with XBO now. Maybe I'll go finish it. 

I have Lost Odyssey around here somewhere. I've been playing handhelds at home, but I could set up my 360 and do some RPGs. That's a very tempting thought. 

I'd like to get Diablo III for XBO. I have Dragon Age Inquisiton and Wasteland 2 already sitting on my shelf. Just a matter of time and priorities. I hope Dragon Quest XI comes to the U.S. next year. It'll be out in Japan next Spring, last I heard. Also Etrian Odyssey V.  

Lost Odyssey is also backwards compatible, so if you can find it, it looks like you won't be needing to set up your Xbox 360.

I also hope Dragon Quest XI comes here next year and on that note, Dragon Quest X. The latter is probably unlikely to make it here though.

You need to play Lost Odyssey! Probably my favorite RPG for the 360.

Agreed

I'm interested. Now just to find a slot in my schedule. . .  hum. . .

I've had The Last Remnant recommended to me by a couple of people. I think I may have to go on the hunt for it, because it looks like my plans for an end-of-the-year purchase of a PS4 are not to be.

It can be bought on Steam for I believe $9.99. The 360 version you could probably find for a pretty cheap. I got it for about $6 Canadian.

My laptop doesn't have the juice to play real games, so it'll be a copy for the 360.

Cool, I hope the Xbox 360 problems I mentioned in my reply to Matt aren't likely to bother you.

I've played some of Last Remnant on PC and enjoyed it. I rented Infinite Undiscovery back in the day and did not like it at all. Took it back the first day.

I have Resonance for 360 and PS3 but couldn't quite get into the battle system.

Shame you didn't like Infinite Undiscovery, but I can see why it has a lot of other problems I forgot about such as almost no apparent direction and limited combat. I still liked it.

Resonance of Fate, as said below is very strange, and I can see a lot of people just not getting into it.

Resonance of Fate! Oh my gosh is that game strange and fun as fuck. I loved all the fashions too! They also worked on Lightning Returns which I also really enjoyed. Last Remnant is one I've been meaning to get to.

Resonance of Fate is just crazy fun. Man, I wish I hadn't gotten a busted copy.

I also played Lightning Returns not too long ago and while I enjoyed it, I didn't make it too far because I didn't want to start all over with the 13 day time limit.

That time limit was there with Valkyrie Profile, which is another tri-ace game, Majoras Mask, Dead Rising and LR. I mostly enjoyed games with this mechanic. I was able to  beat LR with enough time. It's understandable though.

Tri-Ace is has been hit-and-miss for me. I enjoyed Infinite Undiscovery and Resonance of Fate, but couldn't get into the first Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile. I will give Star Ocean IV a try though in my quest to play every 360 JRPG.

I played Infinite Undiscovery a few years back.  I enjoyed it.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. I like the game, but I can't personally level high praise at it other than the fact that I enjoyed it regardless.

Resonance of Fate was probably Tri-Ace's best game since Valkyrie Profile.

Valkryrie Profile was so weird for me, it was cool that you got access to the whole world map (I think) right from the get go, but I didn't like that they gave you no direction on where to go. Didn't make it that far into it, unfortunately.

I never play JRPGs but I do like how good the games look. 

That's fine, it's my favorite type of game so I couldn't go without them.

I have last remnant installed on my pc, but got final fantasy 15 so i havent gotten around to it. It has somewhat of a rough start from what i played of it.

Ive been super into jrpgs lately after playing trails in the sky, which is simply a wonderful game.

Yeah, both The Last Remnant and Final Fantasy XV have rough starts, unfortunately.

Trails in the Sky is a great game. Have many fond memories playing that on my PSP.

You ought to look into Trails of Cold Steel if you like Trails in the Sky. I've been playing Falcom games since Faxanadu back in 1989.

FFXV is on Xbox One? What a strange world we live in. 

Well, FFXIII was on Xbox 360, so I don't find it too strange that FFXV made it to Xbox One.
