It's not that I don't see anything worth playing on the 360, but that I don't see enough worth playing on the Xbox 360. The only RPGs that are/will be exclusive to the console are those made by Mystwalker, and they simply aren't that special. They are decent, but they are mostly FF and DQ clones and follow those formulas far too closely to be interesting to a long-time RPG gamer like me. They are also far outweighed by those on the DS, Wii, and PS3 (both individually and combined).


What about Infinite UnDiscovery: WorstNameEverForAGameEdition?

To be fair, it's not as if the 360 is done with JRPGs. It also has Last Remnant coming and Mistwalker should get out at least one more game this generation. I think there are one or two more coming also but my memory is failing me right now.

Though I can understand your hesitation to buy the system. To me, it sounds like the type of console that would best suit you when you can pick it up for $100-150 and buy all the JRPGs for $20 each. There isn't enough there to warrant a $500+ investment.


Infinite Undiscovery was the one game causing me troubles, but it's an even trade for Star Ocean 4. It's like you say. I'm only interested in 4 or 5 games in the lifetime of the console, and they are all in one genre. Why would I pay $300+ for it now and $60 per game now when I can pick it all up at the end of the gen and never run out of things to play between now and then?

Oh, and the Last Remnant is going to suck. The only thing to debate there is whether it will suck more or less than FFXIII. Not that I intend to purchase either.
