Square says FF13 will be so stunning visually that going to the Wii afterwards would be somehow strange, regardless of how much sense that move would make sales-wise or financially..

Thanks Viper. So we can have JRPGs, ERPGs, ARPGs, GRPGs and so on.

Is it too much to ask what is the gameplay elements that differentiates JRPGs from other RPGs?

No... really just JRPGs, KRPGs, and WRPGs (Japanese, Korean, Western).

There are also type acronyms too such as ARPGs, TRPGs, SRPGs..etc.  (Action, Tactical, Strategy if you didn't know).

 I agree, but I think se could find a way to compesate for the lack of stunning graphics.

What does the wii-mote really add to a jRPG. The PS3 adds the ability to fill the game with the amazing CG sequences, though the ones on PS2 weren't too bad (FF XII final dog fight was awesome!!!!)
Anyway, I think that there will be a considerable number of jRPGs on PS360 as well

Very little yet there are some advantages, but what console sells the most in japan? The only advantage the hd consoles have over the wii in CG is the higher resolutions, but how many people have hd tvs?"


 My point is that the Wii's motion controlls will not add much to jRPGs, so the reason for them going to wii is not because of its control scheme, but merely because it has the largest user base

Well if they move FFXIV to the Wii it'll gain a massive number of new people, but lose a great chunk of the old ones. I've always loved the Final Fantasy series for the WOW factor, and sorry to say a Final Fantasy being on a Wii would kinda strip that from me :P. It be fine from a sales point of view though. I just won't be buying it xD



From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.

Yeah , and do you think a company will care if the wii game has worse graphics. As long as it sells more on the wii which it will, and it's cheaper to make then it will go to wii. There will be a many on the others , but the big japanese franchises excluding the main FFs will probably go to the wii.

I think the DS is going to be The king of Jrpgs followed by the Wii, not many announced yet though..

None AFAIK.

Tactical is what Wikipedia uses.

Strategy is what the rest of the world uses.

compensate with what? the Wii has it's unique controls to make a difference, it's not like that because of decreasing the grapgics of the series on the Wii they will come up with a better story or character cast or battle system, if they have great ideas they will use them no matter on what console a game comes, so only the controls can make a difference, but I wonder if they can make it so fun somehow that it can compensate anything
