Board 8 > Looking for a sprawling jRPG with lots of exploration/quests.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Story/character development aren't really important, and 2D is a must. Are there any games that fit this description? Any recommendations would be very appreciated!

DQ8 fits this sooo perfectly aside from not being 2D.
Honestly you should just play it, if you haven't.

You can even get the first two in 2D if you insist

2D huh?

Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky for the PSP (godawful quest time window though. Like, really really short)
Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey for the DS (Oldschool dungeon crawling)

Xenoblade.

Seriously.

Thing is, I sold my Wii a while back (because lol Wii), but I'm starting to regret that decision only for Xenoblade. Such a shame that a classic game was released so late on the system's life!

Anyway, if there aren't any 2D games that match the description *specifically*, then let's go with games more along the lines of Seiken Densetsu 3 and Terranigma: huge games with great 2D-RPG gameplay and lots to do.

I don't understand people who sell systems before the next generation is out.

Anyway, I assume you've played Star Ocean 2 if you've played 3. If not, do so.
