Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

Around the Network

It's definately amazing to have the 360 at the top of the list for jrpgs considering the orginal Xbox's showing. Unfortunately it probably won't be for long until Square Enix announces their endless sequels, prequels, spinoffs, remakes, and main installements for the Wii/PS3 that'll put them ahead.



it's the JRPG that made me buy the ps3, they have the best imo.



Add Magna Carta 2 to the 360 list. That's Korean though...If it counts. Also, if K-RPGs count, add Kingdom Under Fire which is now officially a K-ARPG.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

This list makes absolutely no sense at all. It doesn't make sense to put VC titles in there, or to put games that don't even have a name. That's pure BS.
Remove all these games, and put only those that are out or that are confirmed with a release date.
Besides, remove all these Ubisoft and most of Idea Factory games, which are mostly ports of PS2 games, so putting them there is as much nonsense as putting the VC titles.
Besides, you managed to forget Fire Emblem for the Wii ...

This will put a much better actual picture of the situation.

I thought Makai Wars for PS3 was cancelled. And I think untitled games shouldn`t be counted.

So I decided to look up the situation of JRPGs in the new generation because there seems to be concern in some circles that the genre is not looking so good this generation. Since this is one of my favorite genres, I wanted to find out how many are coming up on each system and when. Hope this list is helpful for some of you too.

What's noticeable are a lot of Japan only unknown RPGs coming to the Wii, 360 getting a lot more JRPGs then I knew about and most of the PS3's JRPGs seem to be long time projects.

Also, you know that there are many JRPGs from the last generation that still don't have announced sequels in the new generation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 Good breakdown. Thanks, Ck.

Hey, you forgot Cry On for the 360.



Woot Eternal Sonata and Crystal Bearers!



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

I bought a PS3 for Final Fantasy and Megaten but it looks like the 360 is getting a lot of good JRPGs too.
