Good luck with that! :p

I still have to finish some. Like Inazuma Eleven and Radiant Historia. Both extremelly good in my opinion.



PS3 fans will like this new chart :)

Top 10 console jrpg's.

1. Final Fantasy XIII (PS3) --- 1,904,313
2. Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors (Wii) --- 486,222
3. Tales of Vesperia (PS3) --- 385,242

I would count Monster Hunter as JRPG, really.

I would also say Pokemon isn't an RPG, but actually a pet simulator in the same genre as Nintendogs.


Anyway. DS Domination here.

while I hate what pokemon is becoming. It is defenitly far more of the standard defenition of rpg than monster hunter is, though monster hunter should be considered one too.

Just so people know.

When I say Pokemon is a pet sim, I'm not being serious.

Didn't think it would get that much of a rise.

According to Capcom and Famitsu it's "Hunting Action".  MoHun isn't really an RPG, though it shares a lot of characteristics with them and plenty of it's clones do cross that RPG-line.  Sort of a similar situation as Zelda.



Sorry but the Pokemon success shall not be dismissed so easily.

Look at last months figures, Pokemon B/W totally pwned Crysis 2, not a single thread about this. And the game seems very enjoyable.
