This doesn`t mean, that they are not coming.

How about Tiars of Tiara or Cross Edge - these two already coming this year. =)
And there was almost NO ifno about these games. =]

Interesting. I've never heard of them. Who developes them and when are the release dates? 

 



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

Perhaps on E3 we will get some news than. Or on TGS, allthough that is still so far away....

What does hot grease do to a shark, because I want to throw some on your right now, just like RolStoppable's got coming.

 

Crazzy, I'm a gamer man. I need games all the time everyday. I don't like the lake or the sun. I say that the PS3 doesn't have a bad JRPG lineup. The point was the 360 has a much better one, which is infuriating to me, since I spent my money on a PS3 and almost missed out on 360 except by the luck of a trade.

I used to believe sony would get their act together and bring us some rpgs but at this point ive lost all faith in them. Sure we have FF13 and VS13 but after today I am 100 percent convinced that ff13 will find its way to the 360. At least then ALL the quality rpgs would be on 1 box. For shame sony, for shame.

My only problem is all the delayed games, not wich console they comes out on



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

The JRPG fanbase is not divided at all, and no, the XB360 doesn't get "everything else" JRPG wise. That title goes to the DS obviously.
But for home consoles, it's not even divided. The outcome of this war MS does againts Sony is just accelerating the demise of the JRPG genre.
And yes, Japan is the main territory for JRPG, that's why, for example, Trusty Bell PS3 is probably for Japan only. If JRPG sold more in other regions than Japan, things like that would never happen. But they're pretty common: lots of JRPG never see a release outside of Japan.
Which is also why non-japan dwelling JRPG fans are happy when the console that gets the most JRPG is not region locked. That would mean DS and PS3. It's the DS right now, so all is good.

PS3 is only 1.5 years old, and XB360 is 2.5 years old. People actually expected the PS3 to get JRPG before it's 1.5 years old ? I know the MS viral marketers are effective against unprepared people, but I'm still baffled when I see their tactic working.
SO4, even if proven to be XB360 exclusive, shouldn't cause so many meltdowns.

Also, I don't understand (actually I do) why some people absolutely want this to be Sony's fault. This is not Sony's fault at all. Complain to SE if you want someone to blame.
Though this isn't needed. If SE made bad decisions, they'll be the most punished.
