I think it's time they release a Jrpg and no I'm not talking about that strategy rpg crap but a real Jrpg like a Tales of game, Suikoden, Star Ocean, a Shin Megami Tensei game, Dragon Quest and many more potential Jrpgs and new ips.

Im going to go with "maybe".

FFXIII
FFvs.XIII
White Knight Cronicles
Eternal Sonata
etc. are some good upcoming JRPG's...
Ohh and Dark Cloud 3 is rumoured to a PS3 game.

We also have:

Valkyira Chronicles
Disgea 3

for SRPG's ... but yea this whole gen is lacking in good JRPG's... and the few we are getting are 360 exclusives (LO, BD, SO4)

I think there is still hope here...but im a bit dissapointed, jrpgs were the reason i choose PS3 over xbox360, I dont like and dont play shooters, so based on last generation i assumed that PS3 would end up having the kind of games i like but it turns backwards...360 have blue dragon and lost odisey...two great jrpg...

but i think that next year sony would end up being even in this, just have to wait...hope so, if not i would have made a very bad choice.

Tha closest thing to and rpg I played was folklore (obviously im just counting exclusive games)...but FFXIII VS and white knight if they remain exclusive will change things

It's only a matter of time before Microsoft gives up on the Japanese market and stops paying Namco Bandai not to release games on the Playstation 3. Face the facts; there's a deficit of JRPG's on both consoles but one that's going to be filled rapidly come the end of the year and 2009. JRPG's don't have the mass appeal unless they begin with Final and end with an absurdly large number so it's hard for them to accrue the kind of budgets necessary for next-gen programming. Be patient, and stop pretending this is a victory for the 360. It's still performing very poorly in Japan, which is where JRPG's really matter.

That's only one game and it's not big enough game to change the flow.

I have to be honest, 360 is looking stronger with JRPGs at the moment. That includes games that has been released so far and games that's been announced for the systems.

by now, I hoped to see many JRPGs announced for PS3. It's been 2 years already and only handful JRPGs has been announced for the system

Not a promising sign I'd say.

On the other hand, there is disgustingly large number of FPS been released and announced for the system.

DISGUSTING.

Your poll only has options that agree with your opinion. Thats not much of a poll. But no I don't think the PS3 will always suck at Jrpgs. Just give it some time.

Give it a rest. We all know about PS3's RPG problem. The 360's collection of JRPG's isn't so hot either as of right now. The 3 games that 360 has aren't that great. They are not that bad, but it isn't worth being jealous over. Sure they have Tales, Infinite Undiscovery, and Star Ocean 4, but if you ask me SO4 and IU seem almost the exact same. I would still like to play Valkyria Chronicles than any of those other games. None of those games seem horrible but they don't bring anything to the table we haven't seen. They are just standard installments.

none of the next gen consoles have a good rpg library. Tales of vesperia and star ocean 4 is probably gonna make its way over to the ps3 and last remnant is coming later for the ps3. But bottom line is, no console has a good library of jrpgs. I couldn't care for wrpgs.

Look at this poll. Every option is bashing the ps3. wow TC is a troll. End thread plz.

Jrpgs attract a certain crowd of gamers, ones that especially like all those japenese animes

I personally like final fantasy only, wild arms was a good one but failed to impress in later games

The fact of the matter is that MS has been sneaking money under the table and letting 360 get all the rpgs like Last Remnant and some other one i have heard about.

Jus gotta be patient with da PS3.

First of all, the poll choices suck last time I checked Maybe/Probably and Definitely/Most Certainly mean the same thing. Second, regardless of what console you own whether it be a PS3, 360, or Wii, neither of them have must have JRPGs right now. So far this generation is an embarrassment to last gen in terms of JRPGs.

It's a good thing the 360 has them in quantity AND quality then.

Multiple systems ftw.

Quantity over quality is a poor mans excuse for crap support. It's how Nintendo used to explain the no mans land that was N64 software, that Sony uses it now says a lot.

Nintendo often had highest quality games for their system thanks to their excellent first party support, but lacked quantity.

Sony from PS1 to PS2, didn't have highest quality system, and it can be argued which games had super high quality games between Nintendo and Sony. Zelda for N64 got perfect score from just about everywhere and often considered best game of that generation.

But Sony's game library was unmatched by anyone. They simply had waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more games than any other system.

You just don't know what people will like, but everyone likes choices.

Hell I still don't understand why I love these poorly made games like Beat Down: Fist of Vengence, and why it is more fun to me than games like Halo and God of War. I can write 10 page essay about why Beat Down is one of the worst made games ever, but that doesn't mean I won't enjoy it.

Tenchu games aren't the best of gaming world, but I still love em and I want more sequel. Way of Samurai didn't show much polish like other games, but it had unique charm to it and was worthy on it's own.

I'd rather have quantity and choose games for myself instead of getting "quality" games like Halo and get nothing else to play with.

'im just holding ot till TGS for some PS3 jrpg action, if we don't get any new announcements there i will continue with the PS3 jrpg bashing/ranting/complaining:D

WKC, FF13, FFXvs13, TLR all look good, not eally into disgaea, just because of the art style, but i'll definately give valkyria chronicles a go.

Actually Triangle, the PS1 beat the N64 in both quantity and quality, because back then Sony had a philosphy of not needing to make a choice between them, when you can have both.

Well Final Fantasy VII really did it back then, so I can't really deny the quality of PS1, but the flood of games after that is what really put PS1 over the top.

Many of lesser known games and not as well praise games were just gems. Like Valkyrie Profile.

Back then, Sony just did great job taking in as many game titles as possible.

To simply put, if you have many games then some of them are bound to be great.

More is better.

First off: Don't put up polls if you don't want an opinion

Secondly: The PS1 beat the N64 to hell and back on all terms. Maybe if you put the amount of games in relation with the amount of high quality games, the N64 would be rather close to the PS1.

On JRPGs: Yes, we PS3 owners still lack what we came for. No, this will probably NOT change in the near future, even when those quoted titles will be released. But when they appear the PS3 will actually be up front in the JRPG-race again.

I just think that JRPGs are a dying breed as is and most game series will be discontinued soon enough.
FFXII was an omen towards that, as is the whole FF franchise by now. FFXII was, at least for me, the worst FF-part ever to be released. While graphically superior the game had more liking of an MMORPG than of a standard jrpg.
Should this trend continue I may shed some tears for my most beloved genre, but we have to be realistic
