I gotta join Shion with Xillia. Not only was it a recent, and lengthy (not to mention supremely enjoyable) JRPG that I actually managed to finish, I got to enjoy it with my girlfriend, and it had the profound effect or revitalizing my love of not only Tales games and JRPGs, but just more games in general. It rekindled something inside of me, and now I'm playing older Tales games, and Ys games, and all sorts of stuff again
