there is an "in my opinion" missing in the OP.
i don't agree at all. I haven't played THAT many games on my xbox yet (maybe 10?) , but ao far Tales of Vesperia is my favorite BY FAR. Might be the most fun i've had with a JRPG ever. I'm actually on my thrid playthrough already - something I have never done with a story driven game... besides the classic Lucas Arts Adventures from ne 90s.
My other favorites this gen in terms of total time played are Rune Factory: Frontier and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Not exactly JRPGs but not too far from it really. After finishing ToV again i'm really looking forward to Star Ocean 4 and Lost Odyssey. i don't know if i'll like them yet, but i'm optimistic.
So... speak for yourself.
