I have been out of console rpg's for a long time but loved final fantasy 7 for the ps1

does anny of these 2 give me a good alternative ?? till the new final fantasy will come out

p.s. already played mass effect on the pc ;) so not looking for that on xbox (it was a great game though)

just checked lost odyssey on gametrailers and looks pretty good to (havent seen it here in the shops though)

darn I have an xbox 360 for just 3 weeks now are there manny more good rpg's ?

probably will go for star ocean and maybe order lost odyssey ( how old is it ?? and will it still be full retail price ? ) because a new title here does 64 euro so that's a bout 94 dollars per new release and I kinda tink that's way to high for a game lol ( probably will pay with the new final fantasy though )

you seriously should get mass effect. amazing story. one of the best replay values of any game. ive played it 2 times and doin a third. its combat is really fun and the dialoge is really great. and you get to use that save file on mass effect 2. this is my favorite game on the 360. you should really get it.

you should try lost odyssey and the last remnant. i think the last remnant is underrated and it's a very lengthy game.

Don't get Eternal Sonata. It's really short and you get no freedom. The world never opens up. To me it felt like a slightly interactive DVD, because the cutscenes are lengthy and majority of gameplay is just combat.

Out of Eternal Sonata and Star Ocean, I would go with Eternal Sonata. It's a pretty fun game, and has good artwork and an original story. If you can get it new, cheap, go for it.

Star Ocean isn't bad, but it's kind of average. It is still a little overpriced, I would wait until it comes down in price a little to get it. Tales of Vesperia is a much better RPG with similar gameplay, and more impressive cell-shaded HD graphics.

Lost Odyssey is also pretty good, as these people said. The battle system is a little simplistic, and some of the voice-acting and story can get annoying, but for the most part it's a pretty good RPG.

Operation Darkness actually looks like it could be pretty good, and Phantasy Star Universe has an online mode that costs $10/mo but otherwise has an offline mode and story. Culdcept Saga is a pretty fun card game with some RPG elements. And then there are the western RPGs as well.
