[quote name='dental_regurgitation']The pure RPGs this generation have been lackluster, that's why the reviews have been low.
Barely any new RPGs are half as fun as Chrono Cross or Breath of Fire IV.
I might get this when it drops in price, the first is decent, if not repetitive.[/quote]
while ill admit quality is down this gen, its not reflective of the scores...the only games that rank well are either extremely mainstream (kingdom hearts) or extrealmy obscure (disgeia)
great games like arc the lad, suiko4, front mission 4, legaia 2, Tsugunai, and Unlimited Saga all got blasted in the reviews, despite being very good and fun games, imo.
when i said quality is down, i did not mean game quality, i ment quantity of quality. on ps1 there were a TON of great rpgs, there are still great rpgs on ps2, just not in such large numbers
