ookaze - "the X360 has the worst jRPG lineup" - exactly how, pray tell, did you come to this conclusion?

I will gladly admit that I forgot MH3 and Tales Of, which are 2 decent jRPGs, but Tales Of has been doing badly as of late, with the 50 re-hashes. MH is much bigger on handhelds than consoles, so it's hard to say how well a 250k-seller on the PS2 will do on the Wii.

But I digress: the X360 has fantastic jRPGs. I don't see how it's any worse than the Wii's or PS3s.

As of right now, the PS3 "just" has the Final Fantasy series as exclusives, the Wii has Tales of and Monster Hunter, and the X360 has Mistwaker/Sakaguchi titles exclusive to their console. Each of those are great titles. I fail to see how the X360 lacks quality there.

Add in the fact that we now have Nippon Ichi, Atlus, and Tri-Ace working on X360 exclusives, that's certainly pretty big, no?

Then you have the joint X360/PS3 RPGs that are coming out like Last Remnant, and the rumored SO4 coming to both the X360/PS3, and any sort of ideal advantage the Wii has is utterly lost.

Ookaze, and what are you trying to refference? Just Japanese sales numbers? I don't understand trying to attack the quality of titles of a system based on sales. If that was the case, then Wii Sports is the best game in history....Which is pretty laughable to atleast myself. Why not use reviewer scores?

 If you forgot about Monster Hunter and Tales Of, two pretty big RPG franchises you should just accept that you are not well informed regarding upcoming Wii games...

And FF is not ps3 exclusive =) the Wii is going to get at least some spin offs (like the 2 FF:CC, Chocobo's mysterious dungeon) and the 360 likely will get something as well.

 The wii also got Monolith soft and Matsuno making exclusive games to their console, and the latest Dragon Quest games have been exclusive to Nintendo platforms (Dragon quest swords => Wii, Dragon quest IX =>DS)

Just this past week Namco announced a new Wii-exclusive RPG, however there is not a lot of info yet about the game... but there is going to be more info about this new game on the next famitsu magazine.

Add in the fact that VanillaWare (from Odin Sphere),  Marvelous interactive with King's Story (developed with members of FF 12, Super Mario RPG, Dragon quest 8, harvest moon) and SEGA are making Wii-exclusive RPGs and i don't think we will see a lack of RPGs on the Wii.

If we are going to talk about rumours, KH 3 is going to Wii, Nintendo is making a real pokemon RPG on Wii and they are also going to publish a "Final Fantasy Killer" 

And by the way, you may not like Wii Sports, however it sill got GOTY in 2006 in some magazines.

 

 @Lost Tears:

"We are talking quality, not quantity, and the big projects are heading to 360 and ps3.

I mean calling us delusional is upsurd. I should attack you for this shit.

How are ARPGS not deserving of being in the RPG catagory, every single reviewer seems to contradict you, mass effect is a ARPG, yet it took most awards for RPG of E3.

Seriously your logic is really really bad. Whos the delusional one?"

 

I fail to see how the projects upcoming to the 360 are so big compared to the ones coming to the Wii.

Final fantasy its with Sony and Nintendo.

Kingdom hearts Nintendo / Sony

Dragon quest it's on DS/Wii.

Monster hunter 3 Wii.

Pokemon Wii/DS (biggest RPG seller in the world)

 

Just because a new IP is coming to your system it doesn't means that is going to have good success. You are just assuming that every upcoming RPG coming to the 360 is going to be good. We can argue about quantity of upcoming games. We CAN'T argue about quality, as those games aren't out yet, and i don't think you want to look like the sony fanboys that spent a year arguing about how great Lair was going to be.
