Folklore? I haven't played it, but it's 70s-80s game....

No, but some of the reasons could be Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy versus XIII, White Knight Story, Disgaea 3, Valkyrie of the Battlefield, Star Ocean IV (Likely) and of course the best Level 5 support and the 20+ J-RPGs that are currently in devolopement for the PS3.

 FFXIII and its sister games won't be appearing for another 1.5-2 years. White Knight Story looks mediocre. Disgaea 3 could be faithfully recreated on a PSX. SOIV isn't announced yet, and pretty much nothing else that I know of is announced yet.

Right now, the Wii and - oddly - the 360 look to have better RPG support.

'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

How can I name them all if there names aren't even anounced?

It's just known that there are plenty of RPGs under devolopement for the PS3, though a lot of them will be mediocre.

It's generally a good idea not to count untitled RPGs, they can disappear. For example, there was an untitled Konami Wii RPG but according to IGN it got canceled awhile ago.

The only thing PS3 has going for it right now is that some of it's RPGs are big names that start with Final and end with Fantasy. White Knight Story is simply hype. It's the most hype I've seen for a Level 5 game yet it's probably one of the most hit or miss titles I've seen from them. I'm still a little iffy on the details, it's like we should know more about it than we do by now.

Star Ocean 4 has no platform yet.

Monster Hunter 3 jumped ship to Wii.

There's also Steambot Chronicles 2, but...how many people played the first?

Final Fantasy is the key title as far as JRPG's go because no other JRPG can match it's sales/success. Remembering, games like FF provide you with a userbase for other lesser JRPG's to sell based on name alone. FFXIII will sell much more then Lost Odyssey simply because XIII is a Final Fantasy game.

That is what is causing the 360 so many problems. They want to sell JRPG's when they don't have the JRPG userbase yet. They need a console selling JRPG game to get the userbase.

Final Fantasy games are key for your average consumer.  Not your average RPG player.

Most people who buy Final Fantasy games are the 1 or 2 RPGS a generation type.  It's brand name is why it sells. 

So it depends what you mean by "King of the RPGS".  Do you mean sales, quality or numbers?

Sales and quality go together usually but since Final Fantasy XIII is the only one guaranteed to get sales it makes the result pretty one-sided. And how do you know that the FF RPG type gamer is the 1 or 2 RPG a gen type gamer? That seems like a really baseless assumption.

 Because any real RPG gamer knows that there's much better stuff out there than Final Fantasy. :)

FF games are usually easy, shallow, and repetitive, but with lots of glitz and presentation. In other words, the RPG for the casual gamer.

So I guess outside Japan the number of "real" RPG gamers is VERY small?  Since compared to FF their sales suck donkey balls. Great logic you have.

 

"Real RPG gamer" LOL.... that ranks right up there with 360 fanboys who claim the "If you don't own a 360 you're not a REAL gamer" type bullcrap. This "real" crap needs to stop, it's nonsense.
