I agree with Turkish, but that's only because I haven't played very many JRPGs this gen (I did play through most of Trinity Universe before the game screwed me over). Ni No Kuni is everything that made RPGs what they were. It has a unique combat system and a very imaginative story. I can't comment on Xenoblade yet, Last Story, Blue Dragon, etc. I can comment on a few handheld RPGs, but I'll leave the discussion to consoles. I fully agree with the platformer statement though. He's talking about those 3D platformers in the vein of Jak and Daxter and countless clones that were made back in the PS2/GC era (Like Tak). Ratchet and Clank have turned into a shooter almost. Nintendo's gone crazy with 2D platformer releases (With good reason). All there's been this gen were two Mario Galaxies and Ratchet.
