it was announced for europe during a nintendo direct awhile back

Ni No Kuni PS3 actually outsold Xenoblade...

That's food for thought.

surprised the guy didn't cite NISA, they've got 3 JRPGs coming in the next 8 months.

Agree on Ni no Kuni, and I loved NLKS but I wouldn't call it much of a JRPG, I'd have to look back at the mechanics to see if I agree.

Persona 4 Golden looks great, definitely buying that again for an excuse to play it all through again.

Wish I'd gotten a chance to see South Park demoed, but it wasn't done anywhere I saw.

All in all a decent E3 for JRPGs considering America isn't commonly their target audience which is why I'll never get to talk to Gust directly as sad as that is.

Most of the games on that list are pretty meh, though. But one JRPG this year has proved above all else theyre still alive.

But aside from that, Ni no Kuni and Fire Emblem are the key ones there for me, and TLS is a great game also. These 3 games, and the one above, shows more than anything else that the genre is back at the forefront of gaming. And, for that I am glad.

makes me wonder how strong tgs will be

Wow, really? That's.... surprising to say the least.

In the andriasang link posted earlier, it also said Modern Warfare 3 outsold Ni no Kuni the week it launched. That's right, MW3. I'm going to infer from this that Japan has their priorities all wrong.

its not a big deal 1 shooter sells in japan every once in a while

Just to clarify, I meant MW3 outsold it in Japan during the week Ni no Kuni launched. It was even at number one for sales during that week. But yeah.

it happens

interesting
