Sony should just go back to building their consoles around JRPGs.

amirite? I know I spend more time playing old Ps1 & 2 jRPGs than I do with any of this new-school video-movie rubbish that they're trying to convince me is a game that's worth money. I'm sorry, but just: No. Sony is like the little kid in elementary school that is always trying to act like they're interested in what you're interested in but they just aren't and when you finally take them under your wing and teach them about the really cool things they run off and act like they don't know you and that they discovered all this **** on their own. Sony is just riding coat-tails and occasionally tripping on them. Microsoft? They suck too. I want to play new games. I don't want Gears of War clones and Call of Halo: Medal of Modern Warfare over and over again... and just stop with the Kinect. It's rubbish. It's nonsense. I don't want to play a "game" that has Stormtroopers running into my lightsaber, thanks. I CAN'T EVEN MOVE. THEY JUST KEEP RUNNING UP TO ME AND KILLING THEMSELVES. My whole life is on rails already, I don't need you guys trying to take away my fantasy worlds and replacing them with suicidal rail shooters. Nintendo? ^$%# them. They think they're hip and cool but they haven't released a decent NEW game since Pikmin and that game arguably sucks. And $%^& people for buying all the shovelware that Nintendo keeps releasing. THEY AREN'T GOING TO MAKE REAL GAMES UNTIL YOU STOP BUYING THEIR GARBAGE.

You do realize Ninty doesn't release those shovelware you mentioned right? It's by other publishers.

JRPGs are getting more and more niche nowadays. FPS are what's in now, hence why the 360 is more popular than the PS3.

While I do like JRPGs, no console manufacturer should center their console around one genre. Sony's got a good balance, where as Microsoft loves their shooters and Nintendo their platformers.

I do love me a good JRPG. Even one full to the brim with cliche upon cliche.

As long as it's quality that is. I think JRPG's can learn a thing or two from WPRG's and vice versa

Good for you. I like them and you saying that will have no effect on my enjoyment of them.

I love RPG's too, my favourite genre. But why should they build a whole console around one genre? That's the stupidest thing I ever heard.

tbh JRPG's have always been fairly neiche.

Altho the droves and droves of WRPG bandwagoners who think all JRPG's are the devil doesnt help much either, cause strangely both are good :P

I don't know if I could ever be friends with someone who flat out just "hated" RPGs. I don't know how that happens. There's something off there.

um ok.... i like jrpgs too, but the ps1 and ps2 had all kinds of games, not just jrpgs. the ps3 will get alot too when it really his old age because it will be so cheap to make games for it. do you only play jrpgs? if so, i suggest you play other games.

With Square Enix in such bad shape? No thanks... The last thing i want is a bunch of RPGs that look almost identical to what we already get these days, plus RPGs cost a lot of money to make and if it backfires it can kill a developer, so only the really popular RPGs are worth taking the risk such as FF as we can see from the fact there's like 20 of them shows they just aren't willing to risk a new IP when you can just milk one to death first.

Yeah, most of them. It's not the JRPG, so much as the anime themed, turn-based RPGs that are horrible.

I mean, Demon's Souls is a JRPG, so there's nothing wrong with the genre.

Interesting how people claim Microsoft's Xbox 360 is highly FPS centralized. People seem to forget that two to three years ago, the console had quite a few exclusive JRPGS released when the PS3 barely had any. If anything, Microsoft's library is much more balanced than Sony's if at least equal.

  • Blue Dragon
  • Lost Odyssey
  • Tales of Vesperia(if you live in the U.S.)
  • Infinite Undiscovery
  • Magna Carta II
  • Record of Aragest War/Record of Aragest War Zero
  • The Last Remnant

Along with mutliplatform titles:

  • Eternal Sonata
  • Final Fantasy XIII
  • Enchanted Arms
  • Resonance of Fate
  • Star Ocean IV: The Last Hope

PS3 exclusives:

  • Valkyrie Chronicles
  • White Knight Chronicles
  • Trinity Universe
  • Cross Edge
  • Atelier Rorona
  • Last Rebellion

Not counting any soon to be released games. Just those that are out now.

I love JRPGs, hate western ......... Sony should have better relation wz SE, they were the best when they were Sony ally.

the current library on consoles is seriously lacking so gamers moved on, if they could bring the good JRPGs back, I guess the genre will flourish again.

When I read "old age" I immediately thought of the PS3 post-production. Did you know there's still Dreamcast games released nowadays? xD

Why? Most of the major JRPG developers blow ass now.
