You clearly don't play Final Fantasy, and the fact that you had never touched a JRPG until this gen is showing itself clearly stickball.

First, most Final Fantasy games are completely different. VI to VII was a jump from fantasy to steampunk, and XIII is jumping into sci-fi. Personally I consider this a bad thing, but moving on from that... they are hardly all alike. There are JRPGs accross just as many settings and styles as WRPGs. Look at Fragile for Wii. It's a post-apocolyptic empty world JRPG set in the future. Or horror RPGs about freaking suicide like the Persona series. Or how about Kingdom Hearts in the worlds of Disney.

And claiming diversity in Western RPGs is a joke. I love a lot of Western RPGs, but the style is painfully unchanging. Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Diablo 1 and 2, Neverwinter Nights, Morrowind, Fable 1 and 2, and Oblivion all remake the same tired as hell medieval setting with little to no variety in artistic design. The only change to this was KOTOR, and what do ya know, they rip that off with Mass Effect. The few exceptions to the "All we can make is medieval settings" rule are games like Dues Ex and Too Human, which are only loosely even related to RPGs, and largely unappreciated by people who prefer to play repetitive crap like Oblivion.

PS: Not saying I dislike WRPGS (other than Bethesda games, which I hate), but they are certainly lacking in variety.

Soriku said: Possibly, but it won't be THE RPG console like the PS3 or Wii. But it oculd get some good RPGs... ...As long as they don't go to the Wii Btw, why do people hate FF VIII so much? That's a really good game.

VIII or VII?  Eh, what's it matter.  I hate both.  I could rant on for pages about why I hate both.  At least VIII had a fun card game though.  

As far as the WRPGs go, who's descriminating?  It simply makes no sense to discuss both forever.  They are barely related.

No offence Naz, I respect you as a mod but where you not the one who flipped out because someone said pokemon games where all the same?? Then you went on a rant about how each pokemon game thats come out is drastically different from the previous? Then now you say say all WRPG's are basically the same?

Correct if i'm wrong cause the search option in the forum disappeared.

I'm not really sure, but Wikipedia describes it as a RPG based around the themes of sadness, tears and joy.

"Players will take control of main character Sally in this action adventure, working through scenarios designed to evoke an emotional response.

Cry On takes place in a world where people live amongst giant sand creatures. Sally is in the company of one of them, a creature named Bogle, and fights alongside it. Although normally tiny, Bogle can transform into a giant beast to fight. He'll do so when Sally is in danger. The game promises to give players the perspective not just of Sally, but of Bogle as well. The game will play out with portions from both characters' perspectives.

In a recent interview with Electronic Gaming Monthly; Sakaguchi stated that the goal of Cry On is to make players cry every 15 minutes"

I laughed at the last piece. You'll need a box of tissues while playing the game. =D
