Most JRPGs haven't scored great this generation.
The only valid comment I found was about the story being linear and sidequests not being tied in well.
Other then that, the reviewer was more talking about their own gaming prefences then they were rating this particular title as a JRPG.
I guess we will see when it comes out. |
To be quite blunt, there haven't been any great JRPGs this generation. Lost Odyssey is the best of the bunch and while it's a decent title, it pales in comparisson to many RPGs of the PS2 generation.
It makes me sad, actually. I'm a big JRPG fan and it looks like FF XIII is still going to be the first big game in the genre this generation despite how many times it's been delayed. This could be the weakest generation for JRPGs in a long time.

Lost Odyssey wasn't a big game? White Knight Chronicles isn't a big game?

I think he means GREAT GAME. So far I agree with him.
|
White Knight Chronicles is coming from a very talented developer and you still think FFXIII is going to be the first great JRPG this gen. I hope you think FFXIII will be out before WKC
|
White Knight Chronicles is just as late as FF XIII, so late that I forgot about it when writing that post. And I fucking love Level 5. One of the reasons I'm interested in Infinite Undiscovery is because it reminds me a bit of Rogue Galaxy.
As for Lost Odyssey... again... it was ok. And no, nobody's going to change my opinion on that one. I seriously don't understand why people think it's anything other than "pretty good".

JRPG's more than any other genre seems to me at least to have the most widest range of opinions on what people view as their favorite/top tier games.
I mean just create a post asking what somebody's favorite FF game is and see how many divergent opinions you get.
If you do the same for say the FPS genre you'll get the obvious hits (Half Life, CS, Portal, Gears, Halo, COD, etc) but it seems like story driven games such as JRPGs cause opinions to vary at least a little more. At least to me it seems that way.
