>What is your favorite JRPG
Wild Arms 2

>What have you been playing
Dark Cloud but I'm 10 hours in and starting to hate it. The fishing minigame is tedious and getting the upgrade gems from chests is pure RNG and I've had shit luck. Not being able to upgrade my shit is making me lose motivation to keep playing.

I'm either going to play Tales of Destiny or Koudelka next.

>What JRPG did you hate
Front Mission 1. I love the franchise, 5 is amazing. But I can't bring myself to play FM1 because the system is really weird with ranged weapons. I understand it's an old SRPG, but having to be adjacent to an enemy just to use a gun is a terrible design especially since it means you'll always be countered with melee. Thankfull the rest of the series fixed that so having ranged weapons actually allowed you to be more strategic to avoid being countered by melee.

The Protagonist is a colossal hothead and a dumbass.

Why is Front Mission 3's hero a hotheaded dumbass?

The other Front Mission protagonists are serious and mature yet Kazuki is a hotheaded dumbass who's too overprotective for his sister Alicia.
