I would say, the last remnant actually is a very interesting RPG. forget of the technicle flaws, its a superb experience in the gameplay.

perhaps its just me, i enjoy to read through the voiceless dialougues, as i can take my time to read through it, understanding it.
wRPG sometime its just too fastpace for an old folk like me

about the always pretty boy faces in jRPG, well, it is their style and I enjoyed it. if too realisticsits another kind of feeling already.
