DQIX is an action RPG from what ive seen. Magical Starsign looks like a good traditional RPG, i'm planning on picking that one up next payday. DS also has the horrible horrible Lunar(if only they'd do remakes of the old ones).

The funny thing about Mega Man is that the series has been considered a "kids game" in Japan all along.

Loco Roco and Wipeout are supposed to be good too, plus there was a Ghouls and Ghosts game, I think, and there's always the two Grand Theft Auto games although they're of no interest to me.

If you couldn't tell that the original Megaman was aimed at kids you need to lay off the drugs.

It's Harvest Moon but with a greater focus on exploration and stuff, you can fight monsters AND grow crops!

A little piece of me just died inside. I love traditional RPG's, I love all things RPG but I like turned-based the best.

Yeah, it's like turn-based has become a dirty word (phrase, whatever).  I like action RPGs, but sometimes I want some old-fashioned menu-mashing too.

Yeah, I'm surprised that I'm not much of an action RPG fan myself. There's a certain je ne sais quoi about the abstraction of a menu-based turn-based battle system (any type, from strict "phase" turns to earthbound style to ATB style and every other variation). It's almost like a laidback, simplified, abstracted strategy aspect to the game that action-RPGs just completely discard.

Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

I liked turn based myself.  Though my true love is turn based with mini-games integrated in.

Yeah I love going to menu after menu, and relying on chance most of the time. Just hoping during your rock, paper, scissors dual that you aren't hit with a killer magic spell.

Oh, that's unfair. VP was one of the very best RPGs that very few people played. Saying DS is lacking RPGs because it doesn't have one to compare to Valkyrie Profile of all games is f-ing nuts.

Also, I wouldn't call Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth a tradtional RPG which is probably why it was so good.

Pokemon?

I kid, I kid. But there IS a certain hardcore niche-y abstract simplicity to turn based games. A sort of linear, one-dimensional strategy element. And I wouldn't mind another hit of it at all.

Hey, we don't give Sony a free pass for not having Zelda. Fair play and all that bit.

Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure is Sony's response to Zelda.
I posted about this game somewhere else, but it's a Zelda clone, and if I owned a PSP I think it would be a nice distraction until Phantom Hourglass comes out. If you watch the video review you'll see exactly how many Zelda elements make it into this game. Yet the game still manages to look entertaining.
