EXCELLENT

ENJOY the 2nd best game of the generation!!!!

where are you in it BTW?

@lestatdark

BTW even bioware said something like JRPG's aren't popular anymore

ROFLROFLROFL @ THEM!

I think they have dug up a very big hole and taken all the naysayers with them xD 

Kinda sad for a developer to say that and having it come back to bite at them. Guess that for the future they'll learn not to badmouth the competition :P 

 

One popular JRPG does not change the fact that nearly every single other has failed to spark much interest/sales.

Actually, most of the popular JRPG series have sparked as much or bigger interest than last gen. FF, KH and DQ. 

If you take a look at other JRPG series in the prior generation, you'll see that there isn't much difference in numbers. Persona 4, one of the best JRPG's in PS2 hasn't even touched 1 M sales.

JRPG never was a genre that sold millions, outside a few select series. Plus, this gen the main JRPG focus was shifted to Handhelds, because on consoles, they came out a little too few, too late.
