Yeah when you go into games trying to force yourself to like it, it's just aggravating.It might just not be your kind of game. I don't think trying to force it no matter how good others claim they are is a good idea.I was hoping this thread would actually help me figure out why I can't get into 5 and 6. Not become an argument about why 10-2 and 13 are horrible with people using "my friends dont like it" as their "examples". I mean, people should at least use examples from the actual games as to why they are good/bad.
5 and 6 are traditional turn-based RPGs of the old days. 5 in particular has little to no story to speak of (the three-worlds thing is cool, but nothing else stands out) and is mainly liked for the exploration and job system. 6 is heavy on the story and character interactions, but they're both still old RPGs in a genre lots of people just don't go for.
