lol, poor Shiren. Don't worry, at least I love you.

All of them probably but I look forward to ARF the most since it's turnbased(if they haven't changed it)



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints


Fragile Dreams comes first (in my mind, and in Europe :), but i think Tales of Graces will end in my collection as well: both look quite impressive and beautiful, and should play just fine...

Monado? I don't know much about it, so i'll wait for more infos and some trailers first... but i usually like Monolith's games, so i'm fairly optimist...

But ARF seems a little bit too generic for me, and i don't like the style of Shiren that much...

Also, Rune Factory Frontier will (finally) be released in march in Europe, once again thanks to Rising Star... the DS episode was a small deception for me (too repetitive), but the Wii one seems to be more balanced, and looks quite good too, so i'll give it a chance...

Now, what i'd really want is another Fire Emblem, or another great strategy JRPG in that vein... but there aren't many on the market, and the "niche userbase" concerned is maybe too small... too bad... :(

I'm surprised Wii hasn't gotten more SRPGs, the pointing interface seems like such a natural fit.  So far it's just been Fire Emblem, Phantom Brave and (kinda) Little King's Story.

If you're hungry for the genre though, Sakura Wars comes out soonish.

Oh, that one is comin' here, in Europe? Didn't know about that, i thought there was no company to release it in Europe... that's good news indeed, as the game looks quite good, and should give me hours and hours of fun... thanks for the info!  :)

Wii version at least was confirmed for Europe iirc, I think Koei Tecmo is distributing for NIS there.  Not sure of the date though, but I think they said March.

Hope you can read Japanese then, since (if it even happens) it'll never come to the west.

There are some who still thinks Namco has intentions to localize Vesperia PS3 (I wouldn't be surprised if 360 owners outside Japan only received the game thanks to Microsoft). I still fail to see a reason why they would waste resources remaking a Wii game to the PS3 instead of just making a new game. Vesperia was always meant to be released on the PS3, Graces isn't.

Agreed.  Seems a waste to wait for something that'll likely never happen.

If people want Vesperia they can buy it on 360 (and they better hurry since it's now out of print).  If they want Graces, they'll most likely be able to buy later this year on Wii.  Praying for ports/localizations seems like such a futile effort if you've already got either platform.
