I'm trying to come up with a list of five JRPGs that came out in 2009.

I can think of three.

[Eusis]

Wait, I just noticed this was limited to JRPGs. What the fuck, just make it RPGs so we can fill a slot with Dragon Age.

[Lord Scottish]

I can only think of four RPGs I bought this year:

Rune Factory Frontier
Atelier Annie
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky

I liked all of them, to varying degrees, with RFF being my favorite of the bunch (and being neck and neck with Rhythm Heaven for my overall GOTY).

[ValendianKnight]

Yeah, this list would only have one game for me, Demon's Souls, and I'm not sure I can even call that a JRPG. You open this up to all RPGs and I can think of a lot more.

[Hoshino_Kid]

I haven't played anything recently that really belongs this year.

I've only played this year that are RPGs:

Persona 4
Valkyria Chronicles
Tales of the Abyss
Xenosaga II and III
FFVII, FFVIII, Wild Arms 2 (PSN)
Crimson Gem Saga (not finished, but i believe this came out this year)
Star Ocean PSP

Sorry no JRPGS this year had evolution

[Kevadu]

Let's see...Ar Tonelico II, Crimson Gem Saga (OK, it's Korean but definitely in the JRPG style) and...uh...can we count remakes?

[Wild Armor]

Hrm, can't think of five, so instead of 5 Favorite jrpgs 2009, I'll list the 5 best rappers of all time.

This year was definitely laking in JRPGs.  Too many had extremely slow localization which has pushed them to early 2010.  I can only think of Fire Emblem SD and Muramasa if that counts, probably not.  Poor 2009, but 2010 will be nice.

[ShadowLaguna]

At the moment, I pass.

[Noobien]

I only played 5 JRPG's this year so this should be quite simple

• Suikoden: Tierkries
• Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor
• Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier
• Phantasy Star Zero
• Knights in the Nightmare

SMT would probably be my favourite (it's also my first SMT game).

I really liked Half Minute Hero.

That's about it really. I do intend to play Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story before the end of the year. Otherwise, this would be a lot easier if it was open to all RPGs.
