What will win JRPG of the year and why?

Lost Odyssey was probably the Japanese role playing game of 2007. That is when the title launched in Japan, and then was ported a few months later to North America and Europe. I know it is pretty hard to remember with Microsoft being incredibly good with simultaneous launches, but seeing as you did not specify a market. You must either specify a market or remove this game from consideration. Be wary of specifying a market White Knight Chronicles arrives this year in Japan. So you will get comment if that game does not make your list.

Eternal Sonata should be expunged from the list as well. We are talking about a year old port with less then five percent new content. That is just not worth mention especially since you can pick up a used copy for under ten dollars for the 360. That is if you can find one. I just see no reason to treat old ports as new games. You start to find contradictions when the same game can win game of the year two years in a row.

I can honestly say I have no opinion. I enjoyed Infinite Undiscovery. However I know that game to merely be decent, and in no way approaching superb. I tried the demo of Tales of Vesperia, and I frankly do not understand the fascination. I also cannot conceive of why anybody would consider that quality. I just do not understand it is all. It must be an acquired taste. All the rest I haven't had the honor of playing.
