Square has been coming out with some less-than stellar games recently, but FFXIII looks amazing. I think it will deliver. IMO, Square hasn't made any less-than-amazing Final Fantasies, ever. It's the new franchises they've been trying to build, like the Last Remnant, that bombed. The reason that all their recent games have bombed is probably because they're directing all their most talented members towards the Fabula Nova Crystalis games right now.
I'd pay for it but I'm fine with the PSN the way it is now. The only feature it's really missing is seamless cross-game chat and seamless cross-game invites, stuff like that. But most of my friends have 360s anyways. The one feature I'd want more than any of that stuff is completely seamless cross-game ingame music, whenever you want. Killzone 2 has done it the best so far, but it still sucks compared to the seamless in-game music system the 360 uses. Though that isn't really an online feature, so it wouldn't apply to the PSN thing...
Congrats! I hope to start and complete my Elite playthrough in the near future. I beat Veteran a few weeks ago and since then have been trying to level up and get all the medals online. Good to know Elite is even possible, because that last part was already pretty hard on Veteran!
Eternal Sonata was good, but it was hard to finish. It didn't really keep my interest, mostly because the gameplay just got stale after a while. The story was good though. It was pretty much the only reason I finished the game. Apparently Valkyria Chronicles is amazing too, though, according to everyone here and lots of other people... might have to check it out. Too bad I can't find it cheaper than 55 bucks anywhere... :(
The best 360 RPG's are... WRPG's: Mass Effect, Oblivion, Fallout 3, and (to a lesser extent) Fable 2 JRPG's: Lost Odyssey, Eternal Sonata, and apparently Star Ocean is pretty decent, though I haven't played it yet.
MGS4, Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Resistance 2. I only listed PS3 exclusives, there are many good multiplatform games too, but I only own PS3 games that are exclusive. I buy multiplats for 360.
That is a bit late, but yeah, LO is underrated IMO. Best JRPG I've played this generation. Though that might change once I play Valkryia Chronicles, apparently that was really good too. I fell in love with the dream sequences. Quite possibly the best part of the game. Definitely a big part of what makes the game unique.
