JRPGs on home consoles are pretty much dead. If you're a fan of JRPGs then you can't be picky with what you get. I'm personally buying it because I loved FFXIII.

So JRPG fans should lower there standards just because there isnt that much to play?? There wasnt that much in the SNES/Gen days and those games are better than the ones this gen (handhelds excluded). I can only speak for myself, but i rather just stop playing JRPGs, until devs pull there heads out of their asses

OT, where is the option to wait till the price plummets?? Cause thats what ill probably do. and screw reviews those were the same fools throwing 90s at this game

No one is actually "lowering" their standards by purchasing FFXIII. People keep crying as if FFXIII is the worst JRPG ever released, when in reality it is more polished and better scripted than most JRPGs this gen. Sure, it deviates from the Final Fantasy standard, but it is by no means a bad game; it's definitely better than certain JRPGs like SO4 and WKC. And quite frankly, a true JRPG fan would be glad with whatever they get. Handhelds still have quality JRPGs, but I think the only way to pave a direction for good JRPGs on home consoles is by supporting at least the decent ones that are released, Final Fantasy being one of them.

In order of boldings... the third one is 3+4

1) Didn't think so. Turns out I was gravely wrong.

2) And I'm a talking orange crossed with Sephiroth and the morning paper.

3) I didn't even get a JRPG (or an RPG) to begin with. Unless you mean rail playing game, but for those, I have Virtua Cop.

4) A true JRPG fan already owns both handhelds. And JRPG's are never returning to home consoles.
