Oh noes 7th generation CONFIRMED as the best for JRPGs.....

 

 

don't make me laugh

i don't get your comment.

why can't we expect JRPG to evolve in this generation?  it may not be your favorite genre, but a lot of gamers still love it the most.

It actually is one of my favourite genres.

 

You critizised the 360 JRPGs to be just HD upgrades. That makes me think you never enjoyed a traditional JRPG before this gen, which is obviously nonsense. I have no idea why you wrote that part.

what i was trying to say is, the Japanese RPG developers have to bring more novelty into this genre.

they can't just upscale the graphics and expect the game to sell.  only the existing "fans" will buy those games and those "fans" are getting older.  they either have very little time to play games or completely give up on gaming.  the JRPG delelopers need to figure out a way to bring new blood into this genre.  i pointed out VC and DS are refreshing because these two games are very unique and different from other JRPG we have ever experienced on PS2 era.  you have a PS3, try those games and you may understand what i meant.

I almost completed VC (last mission or so), but I don't feel "refreshed" while playing it. In fact I don't think that games like VC will bring new gamers into JRPGs. FFXIII will do that even though it follows traditional paths with only small innovations.
