Where did this perception come from that the 360 was the place to go for JRPGS? So far it's got

  • Eternal Sonata(8.5) Worst Version
  • Tales of Vesparia(8.5) Exclusive
  • Lost Odyssey(7.5) Exclusive
  • Infinite Undiscovery(6.5) Exclusive
  • Blue Dragon (6.0) Exclusive

The only big name exclusives remaining are Star Ocean 3 and Cry On and one of them is looking to be a timed exclusive.

Having the worst version of Eternal Sonota isn't exactly a negative when you had it a year longer. In fact if the PS3 version wasn't superior it would have been a negative agains the PS3.....

It isn't like the 360 version became crap, it is still a great game.

The PC has more RPGs. WRPG and MMOs. Its an overall superior RPG machine.

Especially considering the multiplats it can get....

PC is only platform on which old games look bether with new hardware.

It is funny how 8 year old game (Morrowind for example) can look verry good even now and have bether graphics than some new RPG games

On other hand,FF7 will allways look more or less same,no mether if you play it on PS1 or PS3

So that means that PC have largest and best backward-compatibility

In an attempt to win the Japanese public Microsoft released some mediocre JRPG that are a shame to the once so beloved genre . Result is that the beloved genre in in a deep crysis now and will have its impact on future releases . There is no JRPG king, because the genre is slowly dying due to the lack of inspiration with game studios .

Lack of inspiration? What happened to 329 JRPG games that followed same "bring 5 crystals/elements/whatever" to me than well talk :roll:

They were more or less clones of eachother for years,it was about time someone finaly see that most of them are just copy copy copy with different main characther

Microsoft and RPGs is like Britney Spears releasing a Rap album. A shameful attempt at capturing a market way out of her stubby reach. Both are driven solely by greed.

Who cares about remakes when considering king of a generation? It should only consider new games.

That doesn't matter. A lot of people have. What, because Chrono Trigger is coming out on the DS, the SNES should have a worse catalog? We should start counting BC, if we can count remakes and rereleases >_>

When it come to consoles the Xbox 360 is currently the king of RPG (western or eastern). Since when do handhelds factor into this scenario (they're not the same scope in terms of development, the same market, or even the same generation)?

PS2 has a Madden coming too I believe, is it now part of the discussion when comparing sports games? Are you really going to waste our time with cross-gen comparisons when that's clearly not what the TC meant for this thread?

Well then let's stop playing around like children and speak plainly for once. Knight-k, you are not arguing (in this or any other topic) because you are standing up for the DS, or the PS2, or the equivalency of gen to gen or handheld to console or anything of the kind. You're arguing because that is what fanboys do. You are as transparent as celaphane, and it's boring.

You think that arguing against the 360 is a win for the PS3 somehow, and you're very careful never to mention that it is the PS3 you're really fighting for, not the DS or PS2, because it will not look good in a comparison. But the very pains you take to keep your real motivations in the dark are what makes it so obvious.... and pathetic. Man up for once in your life in these forums. Admit that the 360 has done better in RPGs of all kinds than your beloved MGS4 delivery device.

It just doesn't seem right to call it JRPG King when it doesn't even have an AAA JRPG.

LMAO oh I love making fanboys like you angry.

Are you frustrated because I said something that hurt you, because what I say is true? Really why so frustrated?

Ok and what do MGS4 and RPG's have in common? Wtf? Hmm oh maybe you're still frustrated because MGS4 had a 10...because really I don't get the link with 360 RPG's and MGS4?

And yes 360 has more rpg's than wii or ps3. Although most of them are mediocre, there are some good ones.

I'll tell you a secret too but you probably won't believe me although it's true....you may think I'm a ps3 fanboy (but hey I think you're a 360 fanboy too) but I don't have a PS3. The only "next-gen" system I have is a DS. And I still play on my PS2. (because there are so many great games, and still coming out...and let's be honest it still kicks the ass of every next-gen console)

But I still think PS3 is the best out of the 3 if I look at everything (games, reliability, future, online) and hey I like to argue here, this is a forum right? Everybody has his opinion if you like it or not.

Anyway thanks for that long fanboy rant of yours. It really made me laugh ;) here's a cookie.
