Out of that list, Star Ocean 4 and White Knight Chronicles seem the most interesting.

White Knight Chronicles isn't even out yet is it?

Anyways, I vote for KOTOR since Chrono Trigger was a square game.

I'm confident that WKS and VC will be better than any SE game (other than their ports)

They look far better than FFX-2,FFXI,FFXII, DoC,CC, etc.

The title should specify this as a "JRPG" thread since it obviously doesn't deal with non-linear WRPG's.

As for an answer...

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner

One of those four. And personally, they are far better than most S-E offerings, including FF. The only ones that come close to comparing are Chrono Trigger/Cross, Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve 1&2.

From that list id definitely say WKS. A lot of people like Star Ocean tho, but personally i never liked the series all that much.

IMO that isn't saying much FFXII was the only decent FF title to come since FFIX besides there FF: Tactics PSP port and FFIV remake.

[spoiler] I'm talking more in terms of story. SO3 quickly devolved into this "LAWL UR IN A COMPUTER" game that lacked a lot of the original elements of the older games [/spoiler] This game seems to return to the spirit of the original titles.

Warhammer online aint doing too chipper. They had to remove 50 or so % of the overall content.

I don't understand where all the hype for WKC comes from, the game looks crap and generic. Or maybe it's just the rabid cow fanboys desparate for a good RPG. I pick Star Ocean out of that list.

You should have used developers.(This is the order that Im exited about)

Level 5 has a very promising game with a great track record behind them.

Atlus also has a great contender with Persona 4

Namco has 2 new Tales games, but the Tales series have been on an stale lately so Im not expecting higher than 8.5 which is still good.

Sega is bringing Valkyria Chronicles which scored a 34 in Famitsu and looks really promising too.

Funny how you post White knight Chronicles when it is not even out.

There are loads of great RPG's out there. You should have named the title JRPG and not just RPG.

That's my point actually, I'm not going to say it'll beat the crap out of Dark Cloud 2 or DQVIII :P

I'm not confident about that, FFT was a masterpiece to begin with so the port would be one as well hence why I say it'll be better than anything from them other than ports. Squaresoft knew how to make games, Square-Enix know how to release average experiences that get high scores. I think FFX was much better than FFXII though even though it was as linear as hell.

50%? No, just 4 cities and 4 classes. The actual content within the race areas is still intact according to Jacobs. Not to mention he went on to say that they have doubled the content in Altdorf and Inevitable.

Four cities and four classes is a crap load of content. -_-

um, isnt tri-ace one of SE's CORE development teams? I mean They made Valkyrie Profile 1,2 Star Ocean 2,3, now 4, and Radiata Stories. All published by SE.

With that out of the way, the tales system has a pretty decent battle system(though boring at times) and a pretty decent story, so i'll go with that.

Yes but in relation there are still two cities now twice as large and a remaining twenty classes. I'm not saying it wasn't a hit or disappointing.
