I could careless about FFXIII, since that popularity is to be expected from a FF main game, however i am VERY pleased by the fact Phantasy Star Portable 2 > Demons Souls and Persona3 Portable AND tales of graces and even the likes of monster hunter tri and NSMRWii.

 

Congrats to FFXIII and all that sort of thing, but great congrats to phantasy star portable 2! for showing that even the underdog games can come back on top! good show.

Wait, what? Phantasy Star is the underdog? What? Are you serious Seraphic?

Phantasy Star is one of the oldest JRPG series in the market o_O It's around since the Master System days
