I can't help but read this without interjecting. Opinions are opinions... but opinions can also be wrong and ignorant... and much of what you've written is just that.

Please do some research before posting.

Have you even played these games? Fallout 3 does NOT play like an FPS game. Yes, it is a first person game and yes, your character does fire weapons. On a PC, it can be played more aggressively in FPS style. But mostly, it's an RPG. You choose your enemy and the game automates the hits for you, not unlike Parasite Eve or Mass Effect (though ME is more shooter-y).

Points for comfirming the obvious.

But go ahead and "drop some knowledge on me", even though it's pretty apparent I've played a shit ton more video games than you have and have owned or played every major console of the past 20 years on top of being a PC gamer for much of that time.

And where did I say FF doesn't have a massive fanbase? Jesus, you're dense. If you don't see that JRPGs have lot much of their gaming clout over the past 15 years on consoles, you're just not paying attention.

Like I said before, why you still here?

omg you really cant get a clue can you. obviously you're trying to get the last word but this is ridiculous now.

Let's see. Three people have made comments about this conversation and two of them say you're wrong. The other is you.

Go ahead and keep telling me to end this conversation that you started and keep continuing for no apparent reason, though. By any chance, have you been responding to my posts in the garage with the car running?

All I have to say is read my first quote, it is a reflection of your own opinion. With that said, adieu.

Oh please...Like I said before no one cared about Half Life in 1998. Now It is just another shooter which is popular in the west. Yeah sure Half-Life sales is 9.3 million for PC and Half-Life 2 is 6.5 million. Seems like its going downwards to yeah?

Fall Out 3 and Half Life 2 is not in the FF7 era. Do you understand?

No part of you can be serious.

Like

This is waaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too out there. Did you not have a computer in 1998?

Okay.

Rocketpig. What?

"You're not even worth talking to. Go ahead and bow down to your dying genre that needs to turn Hollywood and remake a decent game that sold a lot of copies because it stopped trying to innovate two generations ago and is now completely devoid of new ideas."

 I'm focusing on the bolbed/underlined. JRPG's are not dying, it's just the best business decisions have not been made with them. For some reason, Japanese developers decided to give the best support to the 360... Despite it getting destroyed in Japan.

Despite this... Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Tales of Whatever... All still sell extremely well.

Final Fantasy XIII will end up being the 4th best selling FF game ever, despite the stupid decisions made by SE with advertising and releasing the IE as a 360 Exclusive...

The spinoffs (Especially the VII spinoffs) have done excellent. So have the Remakes and re-releases too, actually. VII released on PSN and has topped the PSN charts since it released. VIII and IX have also had great success on the service.

Dragon Quest IX is the best selling Dragon Quest ever. The spinoffs and remakes also sell exceptionally well.

Tales of Series. Well. This is a funny one. Tales of Vesperia has sold 900k, it's the 2nd best selling Tales of game ever. This is despite being a 360 Exclusive for a large period of time and the PS3 version being in Japan only. Tales of Graces was, for some reason, a Wii Exclusive. It sold 220k in Japan. They later released a PS3 version and it outsold the WIi version Week 1... It went on to sell 350k. It hasn;t been released in the West yet, although Namco have finally realised that PS3 is the way forward for the series with Tales of Xillia.

The "Atelier" series has hit an all time high on PS3.

Star Ocean 4 is another example of weird business decisions, yet still bringing great sales. It was given loads of crap for being bad. The game released as a 360 Exclusive. Yet it is the 2nd best selling Star Ocean ever, sitting at 1.1 Million units across both 360 and PS3.

Now for new IP's that have done extremely well... Demon's Souls and Valkyria Chronicles are 2 series' close to my heart. Demon's Souls has sold exceptionally well, close to 1 Million units when it gets adjusted down, and is getting a "sequel" with Dark Souls on PS3/360. Valkyria Chronicles is close to 1 Million units on PS3, and the PSP games have also had great success.

Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon both sold REALLY well on the 360, both hitting 800k, although MS haven't followed up on this success and the Gooch moved on to the Wii and The Last Story... Infinite Undiscovery also sold really well, sitting at 570k.

Resonance of Fate. It's a new IP that has sold 774k Worldwide. It's still selling a few thousand every Week too, so will end up at over 800k. Not bad eh, for a dying genre.

NieR... Another new IP. This one has sold 587k Worldwide on PS3 and 360. Again, not bad at all.

I could go on and move onto the DS, PSP and Wii. But I think you get the picture here. Square Enix do not need to remake Final Fantasy VII. Hell no. If they did need to, we would have had it YEARS ago, after how much the fanbase wants it. I don't think you understand how many people actually love this game. There is a reason it's so popular, why it's sold more than any other Final Fantasy (Or any other RPG that isn't WoW). Rol put it perfectly. For the people who grew up with the PlayStation, this game is the "Super Mario Bros.", "Ocarina of Time" and "Halo". It's huge.

Now.

deskpro2k3... Step back.

Did you just say... Nobody cared about Half Life? Right. You're wrong. So wrong it's hurting me. Deeply. Half Life was phenomenal. One of the best reviewed games of all time, and sales to back it up... Seriously. Half Life is up there with your Halo's, Zelda's, Mario's... Final Fantasy's. It's huge. Do some research...

Oh c'mon I just said that as a reflection to his own remarks against jrpg. You did a fantastic job saying what I should have said in the beginning.

Fair enough. "Dying" was the wrong term. "Stagnant" is a better term. The rest of the industry has expanded greatly over the past 15 years. JRPG sales have remained pretty still, which is a really bad sign for the genre because in the PSX days, a top-shelf game could thrive on 500k sales. In today's high definition world and three year development cycles, 500k sales can break a company.

I've long advocated developers moving most of their JRPGs to handhelds. IMO, it's the only way the non-FF/DQ games will survive in the long run. Westerners just aren't interested in the games like they were in the 90s and early 2000s and given the huge advances in WRPGs and FPS games during that time, it's not hard to see why, honestly. It feels like the gaming world is leaving JRPGs behind. Someone needs to give the genre a shot in the arm and for God's sake, they need to break away from dogmatically adhering to the genre's current format. Break some rules and explore new territory, for crying out loud.

I can agree with stagnant, in the definition that it isn't progressing in any way.

And yeah, a lot of JRPG's need to be moved to handhelds now. It also helps that Japan as a market itself has moved towards handhelds too. DS in Japan has outsold all home consoles combined. That's a huge base, and shows that new IP's like Ninokuni can have fairly big sales.

Like I said anyway, a lot of wrong business decisions have been made this gen. That, along with the higher dev costs... Kinda paints a bad picture. Let's hope they give it a shot in the arm like you said.
