I used to love jrpgs but now I'm not that intrested in them anymore. FFXIII and Versus XIII just doesn't get me that excited. I used to buy FF without even waiting for reviews, but after seeing the FFXIII demo I'll wait for the reviews before I buy it. |
It's FF. no matter how much you hate it, I can promise you that the reviews will be AAA (>90%)
|
Good thing those FFs deserve all those scores and more!
And I'm shocked the difference isn't larger. How did WRPGs only get that much in a Western magazine in America?
|
Actually, JRPG's were the top RPG choice in the Americas by a mile last gen. Games like KOTOR were awesome, but were overshadowed by the landslide of great JRPG's. WRPG's are having the best of luck this gen.
|
WRPGs are selling like they have always sold.
JRPGs just haven't had a big hit yet.
Although I will bring a counter point to WRPGs doing well last gen. World of Warcraft.
|
I dunno, I've seen a slight increase. By next gen WPRG's might average way higher than ever before. RPG's that aren't WOW are suffering at the hands of casual titles and FPS games this gen. To say WOW did good isn't a counterpoint to what i've been saying. If you want my honest opinion, Sony made it really hard for JRPG fans to buy a PS3 and thats why JRPG sales are slow. JRPG fans are split between the PS3 and 360 now.

You said JRPGs were the top choice by a mile last gen. They weren't as the highest selling one isn't a JRPG.
