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?

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...
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
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.

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.
