If you bought an XBOne expecting JRPGs, then you have no one to blame for your mistake other than yourself.

This. No one can blame Spencer/MS for the lack of JRPGs on XB1. They made an admirable and expensive effort with the 360 and it didn't change anything.

I will keep wondering this, if you're into JRPGs or japanese games in general, how do you only own an X1 or not own a PS system for those japanese games?

This gen especially it looks like Xbox is really going to be left in the cold when it comes to japanese games.


This is mainly Microsoft's own fault and their problem with japanese games on the Xbox One. They really need to improve how they market the system over there and work towards furthering japanese game development on it. They already got big ones like Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy but I don't think those will be enough.

Ha. Ok. I'll try again. Funding/buying those (timed) exclusive JRPGs for the 360 was admirably but the money spend wasn't recouped.

With XB1 having smaller market share than 360 (especially in Japan) I can see why they hesitate even trying with XB1.

You can't really blame them.

To be fair it was dirt cheap when I got it.

Not bad considering how great 360 was. Superior to PS3 in every way but its game library imo.
