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?

Mr stick hit it decently well here

Ookaze im sick of you bashing the games before you even play them. Then your saying the quality must be superior because of better sales? Of course its gonna have better sales the wii has ALOT more people in japan then 360.

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?


Action RPGS should be in their own category because there are a great number of people who ONLY like ARPGs... and a great number of people who just like regular RPGS.

They have widely different fanbases.  So it seems silly to combine them into one category.  It's like when people combine games like Civilzation with "World Series of Poker" because they're both "simulation" games.


what are regular RPGS? Definition of RPG is role playing game. We call turn based rpgs usually JRPGS, those are not regular. There is no defintion of Regular RPG. Again there is catagorys in catagorys. IF it contains mostly traits of a RPG then its grouped in RPG group. It would be a huge mistake to put mass effect in anything other in RPG.

So if you really want to seperate ARPG and JRPG thats one thing, but they are still in the same catagory.

Yes they are, but they are different kinds of simulation games. Again you want for everyone to have a whole bunch of catagorys. Really no one sees it that way.


I mean menu based RPGs.   Aka Original RPGs/Traditional RPGS.  I don't use the terms WRPG and JRPG because they're stupid terms... not racist really but it's ignorant.

I mean, a Western Company could make a Japanese RPG by your termining... which is kinda like calling a British guy an African American.  Just how a japanese company could make a WRPG.

Hence why I perfer ARPG, SRPG and RPG.  RPG being for the traditonal menu based games.
