I think its funny that there are all these JRPGS on the 360 yet the Japanese populous' stubbornness and Xenophobia keeps them from playing their most loved genre of games.

Or they play them elsewhere.(DS)

 

 

Well yeah.... I love me some handheld JRPGs also, but sometimes you just want an epic console JRPG and the PS3 and Wii are not giving that.

I never played it but from what I can tell, the Golden Sun series seems to be pretty epic

 

It definately was, but there aren't many more handheld specific non-port RPGs that were epic. I'd say Jeanne D'Arc was and I really can't think of any more.

 

What is your definition of Epic? I just want to know before I start naming some games. (:

I was just asking the same thing.

@Cactus

Ever heard of the Fire Emblem series?

But there isn't that many, compared to other genres. I mean, we've got 2 above average JRPGs (Lost Odyssey and Eternal Sonata) and that's it. These JRPGs you're speaking of may be on handhelds but the topic on consoles, specfically the 360, and thus my statement remains.

And again, regardless of any platforms JRPGs aren't the big sellers they used to be. I'll be surprised to anything cross a million that isn't DQ, FF, or Pokemon.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Why? Did someone stop buying them or something?
