Just completed my first rpg for the 360 in Lost Odyssey. Really a great traditional turn-based rpg with a good story. I had fun customizing the characters skills and had them invisible for the final battles (ailment resistance and elemental resistance.). I'm unsure where to go from here as far as 360 rpgs go though.

I'd recommend Blue Dragon. It's also very traditional and has a lot of character customization with the job system.

Personally Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia, and The Witcher 2 are the only 360 exclusive RPG's that I know of which I find any good. So if you haven't tried those last two yet, I'd highly recommend them.

Blue Dragon is also good, but not really my style. And Magna Carta 2 can be fun if you're willing to play a more sub par level game.
I feel old when talking to anyone my age yet too inexperienced to effectively talk to anyone older. Life is grand that way.

Well, I eventually winded up going with Dark Souls and really enjoying the game a lot. I have heard good things about Vesperia and The Witcher 2. Those will be next on the list.

Oh yes, Dark Souls is amazing. But not exclusive, and I assumed you only wanted to hear about exclusives. lol

Today I beat Omniscient at the Fork Tower in FFV.

The only easy way I could find for my all physical party of Thief, Berserker, Geomancer and Dragoon was to equip one guy with a reflect ring and bone mail (nullifying every single one of Omniscient's attacks) and wait out his MP until he couldn't cast reset and start the battle over (which he does any time you hit him physically). He has 30000 MP.

It took me about 8 and a half hours.

Thankfully, as I described, my set up made me completely impervious to him, so I left the game running on its own all day instead. Now I've gone through the deep sea trench too. Only 3 areas left before the final dungeon, and they're all optional. I think my team is gonna need the exp though.
