I finally decided to pull the trigger on a new console purchase and over the last couple of days my playstation super slim, copy of demon's souls and copy of ico/shadow of the colossus arrived. I think I'm going to order the god of war saga as well. I usually game only on PC (plus a bit on my SNES and 3DS and I used to own a 360) and haven't played many JRPG's as I usually prefer games that are more mechanically focussed, but now I own a PS3 there are lots of games of a type I've not played much available to me so I want to try one or two. Can anyone help with some recommendations for really great PS3 JRPGs? I would prefer one with interesting combat mechanics.. so not just select attack from menu.. watch attack, even if strategy is involved. What I really want is lots of interesting mechanics such as the timing based attacks in the stick of truth, etc., I also want a good story and I don't want unnecessary grinding or anything too repetitive. And I tend to get bored watching cutscenes so would prefer if they are good enough to want to watch/not too cutscene heavy. Am I asking too much? Does something like this exist?
Alternatively any non JRPG games you would consider great that I would've missed. I'm really only interested in the very best games that you would describe with words such as truly great, epic or masterpiece since I'm revisiting older games and have a beast PC and a very long list of games on steam and 3DS I own and want to play.
