Tactics isn't too bad, I mean, I haven't beaten it, but I like what I've played so far. Xenogears - same story.

I didn't care for FF XIII battle system, so I haven't played it much. Star Ocean: The Second Story, I have about 50 or so hours on. But SO3, again, the battle system wasn't for me. How is The Last Hope's battle system?

I really would like to play this game.. maybe after I'm done with Skyrim.

Oh god, I can't even remember. I know it's similar to The Second Story but I can't really recall the details. Control one player while the other two follow various preset AI. I just know I'm very picky when it comes to newer RPGs, always prefer the JRPG format, and that game more than kept me busy.
