The only JRPGs coming to 360 at this point are multiplats. However maybe I was unclear. I was referring to the first half of the generation. The first half of the generation. The PS3 and the Wii had next to know JRPG offerings? You can't honestly tell me that during the first four years of the generation the PS3 and Wii were getting more JRPG content.
everybode RPG-Fan must play Ni No Kuni for PS3, its amazing. But Lost Odeysee.. i think, its "okay", but not more.
the best RPG's are coming 2013 !!!! oh my god, this is perfect for RPG-GAMER = ) Ni No Kuni - 25 january, Time and Eternity, tales of xillia (PS3) and the maybe best game ever: metal gear solid ground zero

I really wouldnt know or honestly i didnt care. because I didnt own one of the HDs are even the WIi in the first few years, im more of a present guy now, thats alll well and good. but who cares what happened that long ago? How much JRPGs are released for the system now? All i see are exclusive PS3 ones and FF13-3 which is multiplat.
For argument ill say you're right, but when its all said and done. Can anyone honestly say that 360 dominated the pS3 adn WIi in the JRPG genre the ENTIRE gen, very few people are going to single out just a couple of years.
When its all said and done. Its a 'what have you done for me lately'? mentality. LO was released in 08? its 2013 now.
Unfortunately fanboys would rather follow hardware and bitch about the lack of software. As such one of the best JRPGs of the generation will likely never see a sequel. As with The Last Story, Mistwalker was only the developer of the game. The IP belongs to the hardware manufacturer. Nintendo owns the The Last Story and Microsoft owns Lost Odyssey.

Your preaching to the choir. MS tried to secure JRPGs early on in hopes of getting the Japanese demographic. It was a good plan, they just were not buying it. Thats all their really is too it, and its not like Americans are that big into the genre anymore either. Not in the way they were in PS1 days and alot of people probably believe that Wii and/or PS3 would get JRPGs so in a way you are kind of wrong as they did follow hardware and they ARE gettign software. PS3 has been getting hooked up for years. And as ive stated the more important titles ended up getting ported anyway . Theres about 6 JRPGS being released this year alone and only one of them is multiplat.
Oniyide, Americans were never really into JRPGs to begin with. Final Fantasy was the only franchise that was a big seller. Thanks to Sony's heavy promotion of FFVII, other developers started localizing JRPGs. They didn't put the ad dollars behind their franchises that Sony did with FFVII and they didn't see the same result. So the genre never really got a foothold.
As for people buying PS3's and Wii's assuming they'd get JRPG support, that's stupidly foolish especially given the PS3's launch price, but I could see that being the case because of the PS2. At least initially. However I've owned every Nintendo home console. The last Nintendo home console with good JRPG support was the SNES. The N64 had nothing and the Gamecube only got a handful JRPGs.

Lost Odyssey was and is exceptional. Of course, if you tried to discuss after it's release. You got bombarded by these supposed JRPG fans that hadn't played the game telling you otherwise. These alleged fans also praised the greatnes of FFXIII even though it wasn't out. That was rather ironic given the way things turned out with that game. Okay, mini-rant over. Sorry guys. Continue on. Maybe we can see a sequel to Lost Odyssey someday. Sakaguchi still has his magic. Lord knows Final Fantasy could use him again. |
I was one of the people that bought a 360 ONLY for the JRPG support it's getting. I could give two shits about shooters no matter how amazing they are and most Western RPGs are multiplat / PC. When LO came out along with ToV, I even made a thread about how the 360 was so far my favorite console this generation because it supported my favorite genre.
What made me and many other jRPG fans (that didn't like shooters) angry was MS dropping support overnight and giving them the finger after buying a $300-480 console that it cost back then. I was, for one, really looking forward to Cry On, but I guess MW didn't turn Japan around like they expected. But I still think they should have gone through making that game not to piss off so many fans since it was on the roster before cutting off Mistwalker.
In the 2nd half of the generation, Sony and Nintendo has been where jRPGs have resided - and not MS. For that, I dont have any reason to get MS's next console. If there is an exclusive JRPG, I'll just borrow someone's since I'm sure every American and their grandmother will get a 720.
As for Lost Odyssey, I do consider it the "real" FF 13 this generation. Besides the loading times and a few technical issues, I really found it to be an enjoyable game. I didn't mind all the reading - because at one time you did have to read alot as a jRPG fan. Now we are in the "shoot everything and anyone that twitches" generation - so I can see why people don't want to read in games.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

hmm
Why sit here and be mad at the JRPG fans? Be mad at the devs for putting their fish food in a tank where there is no fish to consume it.
Edit: idk
if i didn't know any better, i would think that this is just another case of "oh lets blame teh PlayStation fans"
That's what it pretty much seems like you are trying to do. The 360 got all these JRPGs which didn't really sell and now you're sitting here trying to blame PlayStation fans for it? WTF
i'm hoping i'm wrong though
