2-lack of jrpgs on home consoles

What???

JRPGs already released this gen:

on Xbox 360:

  • Lost Odyssey (the best JRPG this gen, imo) 
  • Tales of Vesperia
  • Blue Dragon
  • The Last Remnant     - 66 metacritic 
  • Magna Carta 2        -69 metacritic
  • Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope   - 72 metacritic
  • Spectral Force 3         -59 metacritic
  • Unfinite Undiscovery        -68 metacritic
  • Final Fantasy IX         - last gen game, totally playable on ps2/ps3
  • Phantasy Star Universe           -64 metacritic / also has a ps2 version

on PS3:

  • Valkyria Chronicles
  • Disgaea 3
  • Demon's Souls                BTW, you forgot to add Folklore

on Wii:

  • Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon       
  • Dragon Quest Swords
  • Tales of Symphonia: DotNW
  • Final Fantasy Cristal Chronicles

on PS360:

  • Eternal Sonata
  • Enchanted Arms

 

So you played all of them?
Oh... I guess you're a '1-console-only' owner... if true, I'm sad for you.
And let me guess... you're stuck with the poorest of the 3 right now, the PS3.
Another teen thinking Sony would always be the king of RPG? I'm only guessing.

I'm tired of people crying "but... but... there is no JRPGs this gen"
Open your eyes.
Go buy consoles.

And don't let brand-loyalty fool you.

 

 

So then, you are telling me to drop 200 dollars more on another console to play mediocre games? 

Also, you must not overlook the fact that compared to the last two gens, the current one is nothing short of PATHETIC in terms of 

JRPG's. That's why true fans of the genre complain of the lack of QUALITY games this gen, and we are completely right. Outside of some quality games like the Tales games, VC and LO, all other efforts have fallen short of delivering a quality product, on all fronts. 

Fortunately, that trend may have started to revert, starting with Demon's Souls, and continuing with WKC, FFXIII, FFXIV, etc. 

Sigh....Why do people keep fighting over 'What console has the best JRPGs'.  Its been shown time and time again that the entire Japanese market has jumped ship to handhelds.  And likewise, SO HAS THE JRPG MARKET!  There's more JRPGs coming out each year on the DS and PSP then there has been for ALL the consoles combined for ALL 4 years.  Stop trying to fight over Demon Souls vs Lost Odyssey.

Sigh... why do people keep sucking at reading comprehension?

 

Can you please highlight where I said certain console had better JRPG's than another one? I just edited his post with metacritic scores to make him see how many console JRPG's have very poor quality standards nowadays. 

 

Oh and by the way, if you didn't notice, the context is console gaming. I enjoy portable gaming, but you have to agree that a great console JRPG>>>> great portable JRPG. 

 

Oh and can you mention where I fought over DS and LO?? I actually PRAISED both games. LOL. Learn how to read man.
