I'm the only real JRPG fan, I dunno who the others that said that are but they lied to you. What?? I have a hudge ego to say i'm the only real something?? umh?

I like RPGs and I was planing on getting a PS3 just because of FF... too expensive, then 360 had nice cheap bundles so bought one (altough I initially thought I would never get one because of price and lack of interest in the games)... and then the FF news made me say goodbye to any possibility that I buy a PS3 and hordendously happy that I did buy my 360 in a cheap ass bundle.

So no with prices dropping I doubt "real JRPG" fans will wait, they'll go for the cheap and early realease and enjoy LO as a bonnus...

I think your kind of on to something with this...

JRPG fans are one of the most hard core user bases out there. I guess my question is: Why would they be so poorly informed about what JRPGs are available, to the point of chosing a more expensive, inferior console like the PS3 for JRPGs?

 

Exspensive, yes. Inferior, no. And the thing that makes JRPG fans hold out for the PS3 is because they have much higher hopes for the PS3 exclusive RPGs. TOV and Eternal Sonata are the only good JRPGs on the 360 in my opinion. ES is coming to PS3 already this christmas. A tales game is already said to be in the works for the PS3 console. The PS3 ones are mmuch more appealing. Even when PS3 lost FFXIII we still have Versus exclusive. I can tell you that for every one FF game that comes out it is worth at least 5 mediocre ones that comes out. White Knight Story is said to look great by most fans. Disgaea is good if you can get past the fact that it is still 2D. Folklore is a superb game but many dont know it is actually an action RPG, so it gets overlooked by the consumer. Valkyria Chronicles looks to be a sleeper hit as all previews say it is doing something un heard of in the RPG world. Many get confused with which system is better for JRPGs because of the 360's quantity. What real RPG fans are looking for is QUALITY!

And for anyone wondering, I did not forget about Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon. I thought Lost Odyssey was boring, and Blue Dragon was a joke(do over).

 

Sorry to break your hopes and dreams, but no, it is not. It was speculation by Famitsu that since 360 and Wii had gotten their own Tales of-games, PS3 might get one - But Namco later confirmed that their next Tales of-title is planned for the Wii.
