@Carl - As far as comparing game quality goes, Metacritic and gamerankings mean absolutley nothing. This is true with practically every game, but even moreso with JRPGs.

I'm going to have to agree with neoraf here and say that the critics dropped the ball on this one...HARD. Lost Oddysey has the production values and gameplay of a AAA game.

I am a person who favors the PS3, but Lost Oddyssey is. Not only the best JRPG, but possibly the best rpg of this gen so far.

Well... Valkyria was popular enough to spawn a Anime and a Sequel, in Japan... Where Lost Odyssey didn't do very well at all.

Also, word of mouth has propelled its sales a LOT.

Lost Odyssey is good, yes... But is it as good as Valkyria? I really, really dont think so.

I might make a thread on it...

Well first of Valkyria is a SRPG.

SRPGs should not be grouped in with JRPGs...

Unless your definition of JRPG is "RPG from Japan."

Which is a stupid definition.

SRPGs are different from Western and Japanese RPGs.

Western SRPGs actually tend to play just like Japanese SRPGS.
