I hope they come back to there former glory! this gen has been total shit when it comes to JRPGs.

The Lost Odyssey was very good. It had everything that made Final Fantasy good during the hight of Squaresoft's success.

I'm getting the Dreamcast version, but there are current gen versions as well.

Pier Solar i will be picking up for PC .

As for the JRPG genre imo is not dead its just other then a few big games its never been "that big". Also on Handhelds the JRPG Genre is very much still doing as well as ever imo.

Glad to hear it. But I personly find playing jRPGs on PC strange. It doesn't feel right to me. I've always felt like jRPGs are part of the console experiences. That's why I pre-purchases the Dreamcast version. That and I like physicle stuff a lot more than digital only. If the Dreamcast version wasn't an option I'd probably go with the XBLA version just for that console experience.
