Nah, I disagree. I've played it completely through, and I think that not only is it not the best jrpg this gen, it's not a jrpg at all. It's a sjrpg.
Not only that, but it's not even the best sjrpg on the PS3, Disgaea 3 is.
On the 360, Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia edge it out.
On the Wii, it's about equal to Super Paper Mario, and worse than Radiant Dawn.
One thing I couldn't get over was the "innovation" aspects of battle. I wished for a more traditional experience. The story was powerful, but the setting was a little bland, and I couldn't get over wishing that this wasn't set during some "innovative" war scenerio.
That said, it still is probably the only game to attempt to move the genre forward since Disgaea 1, and it is a very good game. I give it an 8.4/10 and look forward to a sequel.
Also, FFVII:CC, FFIV, and TWEWY are all better games, on the handhelds.
...and Persona 3, and probably Persona 4 on the PS2.
...now if you're talking about Metacritic, then I bow to your superior game, but I'm not a big believer in the site.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
