I think the fact that it was relatively short played into it too. in most games you can see the story arcs playing out over dozens of hours as you grind away through more and more fights/puzzles/whatever, eventually to the point where you just want the game to end, and so the last 1/4 of the story and the climax don't really impact you. maybe it's just me

>These guys give 25-40x the xp of regular battles

How is this not an awful mechanic? I could understand if they were super rare but you farm these things in the ps2 and 3ds version of the game. It makes fighting normal battles completely pointless, especially on the 3ds version where you can just run past them.

How is this game considered to be one of the best JRPGs ever? The world is boring as fuck, whenever you explore you either find a mini medal or a "boss" which is a stronger version of a regular enemy. The side content is severely lacking and enemies are reskinned and reused like 5x per sprite. Is it because the dragon ball guy did the artwork? Could they not afford to pay the fucker to draw some more monsters?

Getting all Jet rankings, all characters and all graffiti souls in Jet Set Radio.
Such an incredibly unique game but there is nothing else like it.
At best you've got games that shallowly mimic the visual style and maybe have grinding and rollerblades but it's just not the same.
The arcade scoring system, heavy focus on momentum, timed missions, the inputs required for graffiti and carefully chosen graffiti locations are what made Jet Set Radio such a joy to play.

This probably sounds stupid but I'm gonna have to say Skyrim. I was 16 when it came out and didn't have the awareness I have now as a 23 year old when it comes to game design. I didn't know how much the series had been dumbed down. I shit you not though, coolest thing I ever played at the time.

Also Red Dead Redemption, I think I did every side mission there was and got really bored with it which sucks because I never thought I would.

I dunno, Persona 3 hit me way way harder than 4. I played 3 a year or so ago and recently played 4 so it's not like I'm letting childhood cloud my opinions or anything either. I think for me it was the fact that Persona 3 had a lot more hardship and conflict in it so it felt like a group was actually working through hard times and coming out on top compared to Japanese Scooby Doo. Don't get me wrong, I liked Persona 4, but it just wasn't the same.

Probably. Though at the same time I walked away from Persona 4 thinking "wow, absolutely nothing happened". They rescued some rascals from the tv in a pattern that never really changed and once your party was full you found the killer and saved the day. Having little plot for most of Persona 3 wasn't great either but it at least got super interesting at the end which meant it left a good last impression (which is pretty important in a JRPG, I guess).
