| starcraft said: 1)There is still a lot of confusion about this. Because the PS2 was the JRPG console, a lot of ill-informed gamers buy, or plan to buy the PS3 not realizing none of Mistwalker's great titles will come out for it. 2)The PS3 doesn't have a single good JRPG right now, and its only got Valkyrie (which does look great) and WKS (which MAY be great) until FFXIII. |
1)Most JRPG fans will buy either the 360 or the PS3, not both. If you only buy one of the consoles you will be missing some good JRPG's. The problem for the 360 is that most JRPG fans would rather miss out on BD, LO etc than FFXIII and FFVsXIII.
Although Mistwalker have developed some good JRPG's on the 360, they have been new IP's and have 'only' been rated in the 70's%. What the 360 needs for it to be the JRPG console is a couple of 90+% exclusives, or a massive exclusive IP such as FF.
Mistwalker hasn't shown us yet, that it can develop a triple AAA JRPG. So unless things change, the 360 won't be considered the JRPG console. The PS3, with two FF games, is still the JRPG console in most peoples eyes this generation.
2) Although at the moment the PS3 is lacking JRPG's it does have some good ones. Folklore has a similar mid 70% rating as BD and ES. Disgaea 3 is also another good one.
Valkryrie does look amazing and I can't wait for it. WKS is being developed by Level 5, so it is safe to assume that it will be amazing. And then there is FFXIII and Versus XIII.
If you are going to buy either the 360 or PS3 for JRPG's this generation, it has to be the PS3.
