Instead of trying to hook onto the genre of RPGs, what five games do you feel would deter a modern gamer trying to break into the genre?
Scarring them for life also works I guess...

True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Final Fantasy XIII
I don't need to list four more.
FFXIII has surprisingly attracted a lot of people.
Here are games I love but I know would scare away newcomers
BOF: Dragon Quarter
SMT: Strange Journey
Digital Devil Saga
Front Mission because it's so fan difficult
And I actually kinda hate Persona 1 so that
SMT: Nocturne (Seriously, NO SMT title would break a newb faster then Nocturne)
Final Fantasy X-2: NOt so much for the combat, but the super sugary coating
Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen: So many complexities the game doesn't explain.
Time and Eternity: This is for being an ugly, terrible piece of trout.
Final Fantasy XIII because its trout
Lufia Series would break a newbie
Final Fantasy Tactics
You're going to need this:Originally Posted by FFNut
Then again, maybe people wouldn't disagree because of how the game would feel to a newbie, but I'd take that just to be safe.
Yeah, Tactics is for no rookie
I'd say some of the garbage on Steam and the like that were inspired by Dragon Age and TES: Oblivion. Like Gothic 4, or Risen 3, or Two Worlds, or Blackgaurds, or Confrontation
SMT: Nocturne.
Etrian Odyssey: Any of them played above easy mode.
Dark Souls, especially Online Mode.
SMT: Devil Survivor broke a few friends of mine... though that may have been the strategy game element.
BoF: Dragon Quarter. Like everything else listed here I enjoyed Dragon Quarter, but I admit certain mechanics are a kick in the teeth for newbies.
Quest 64
I imagine diving into even a line up of the top tier NES JRPGs would be quite an ...experience for someone used to modern games.
>>Am willing to change opinions based on data<<
A lot of people have talked about gameplay. Let's talk about setting. I have never felt more vomit rise up in my throat at a video game than this scene from Infinite Undiscovery.
You don't get trout like this in other genres.
Final Fantasy: All The Bravest
I don't know any others that are only famous for being crap.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Wizardry IV. That game is brutal. Makes Nocturne look like a cakewalk. This game can scar vets for life, let alone newbies.
"Repent your sins through death!" - Ramirez - Skies of Arcadia
*spews out drink* Really? I thought it was pretty good!
Well, I guess there are quite a few difficulty spikes...
