1.  You should already br playing SO4... i gaurentee you u will nevr put it down once you start.

2. ES doesnt get any better BUT doesnt get any wors either its a good JRPG for 2007 not now though

Apparently a good JRPG for 2007 means standards fell down somwhere between 2000-2007  

Also Star Ocean 4 suffers from a lot of the same problems, bad voice acting, story is really bland, and the environments are really bad, the one remarkable improvement versus ES is that SO4 has a pretty decent combat system.  In all honesty if people are big JRPG fans they shouldn't be playing home consoles rather handheld consoles as PSP and DS both slay the competition.

JRPG fans play JRPG's undictated by platform...all is one in our world.

2. DS and PSP JRPGS arnt without fault themeselves either. too many ports and remakes..and too little fresh content( too much been there done that)

though Radiant Historia is fantastic

Not saying they should be playing handhelds for the fact that they're handhelds, I'm saying if you want to play good new JRPGs you should be playing handhelds cause that's where they come out, Final Fantasy 4 Heroes of Light destroys FFXIII for example, and there has yet to be a JRPG on the home consoles to even live up to Nostalgia (unless you count FFIV the after years which is made by the same team)  much less titles like Dragon Quest IX.

The big problem I see is that big names that have been trusted for years seem to release home console JRPGs and they turn out to be much worse than past games and not living up to standards, but fans of these companies fight tooth and nail to support these titles, while some really creative things are happening with small teams on the handhelds and things are evolving faster for JRPGs than they have in over a decade, while home console games are just stuck in that past decade where Cloud clones are the standard for story and the various parts of ROLE PLAYING are thrown out the window.
