JRPG gameplay can get repetetive so it's nice to change it up from time to time Good idea but they're almost always bad Nah it's better when they keep it varied with puzzles and and instead A good JRPG has enough variety in enemies that minigames aren't needed Other (specify) No opinion View Results Think the motorcycle chase, snowboarding and submarine chase from FF7. --- http://backloggery.com/devsbro/sig.gif http://i.imgur.com/kU5vu5N.png Never pepper popcorn <cite>DevsBro posted [p:896000842] in Mandatory ...
