I'm the only real JRPG fan, I dunno who the others that said that are but they lied to you. What?? I have a hudge ego to say i'm the only real something?? umh?

I like RPGs and I was planing on getting a PS3 just because of FF... too expensive, then 360 had nice cheap bundles so bought one (altough I initially thought I would never get one because of price and lack of interest in the games)... and then the FF news made me say goodbye to any possibility that I buy a PS3 and hordendously happy that I did buy my 360 in a cheap ass bundle.

So no with prices dropping I doubt "real JRPG" fans will wait, they'll go for the cheap and early realease and enjoy LO as a bonnus...

I think your kind of on to something with this...

JRPG fans are one of the most hard core user bases out there. I guess my question is: Why would they be so poorly informed about what JRPGs are available, to the point of chosing a more expensive, inferior console like the PS3 for JRPGs?

JRPG fans are migrating to the 360 the minute FFXIII was announced for the 360.

 

SO4 will be on the PS3 eventually but it will most likely be Japan only since while it will do good for a 360 game(in Japan), SO4's Japanese sales will be lower than previous games in the series.  SO4 should do just fine in the West on the 360 alone.

I really doubt SO4 would stay 360 exclusive forever. The "only for 360" stamp means very little given the fact that many games put under the label eventually got ported to the PS3.

Besides, the box also says spring 2009, it could easily mean "Only on 360 (In Spring 2009)"

I think bioshock had 'only on windows' when it first released. This just means its definitely a timed exclusive.

 

No, it means it's either a timed or a perma exclusive. Whatever it'll turn out to be, we'll know later. I do think it'll be the former instead of the latter tho.

And I think someone could do the exact opposite and show only on Xbox 360 games that never went multiplatform.

Ultimately, it comes down to if the publisher feels sales could be higher by going multi-plat.

At any rate, SO fans will need an Xbox to play Star Ocean...Unless they want to wait 1 to 2 years before playing *maybe* having a chance to play SO4 on PS3.

Oh, they will wait. I just read on this very forum how all the real JRPG fans are waiting to see if PS3 gets any AAA JRPGs before upgrading to a current gen system.

Does Tri-ace really think the majority of Japanese gamers (who cares about HD) will buy a xbox360 for this game while FFXIII and FFvXIII remains PS3 exclusive in Japan?

Exspensive, yes. Inferior, no. And the thing that makes JRPG fans hold out for the PS3 is because they have much higher hopes for the PS3 exclusive RPGs. TOV and Eternal Sonata are the only good JRPGs on the 360 in my opinion. ES is coming to PS3 already this christmas. A tales game is already said to be in the works for the PS3 console. The PS3 ones are mmuch more appealing. Even when PS3 lost FFXIII we still have Versus exclusive. I can tell you that for every one FF game that comes out it is worth at least 5 mediocre ones that comes out. White Knight Story is said to look great by most fans. Disgaea is good if you can get past the fact that it is still 2D. Folklore is a superb game but many dont know it is actually an action RPG, so it gets overlooked by the consumer.  Valkyria Chronicles looks to be a sleeper hit as all previews say it is doing something un heard of in the RPG world. Many get confused with which system is better for JRPGs because of the 360's quantity. What real RPG fans are looking for is QUALITY!

And for anyone wondering, I did not forget about Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon. I thought Lost Odyssey was boring, and Blue Dragon was a joke(do over).

TLR and SO4 aren't quality?  Both look pretty good so far IMO

 

Yes, I think FFvXIII and WKC are going to be awesome

I really dont get it unless Microsoft payed alot of money is that if Square enix can put Final fantasy 13 on 360 than they can put So4 or Infinte Undicsovery on ps3.



 

ROBOTECHHEAVEN on 03 September 2008

if ppl think so4 will come to the ps3 at some point, then it stands to reason that so will ffv13 but instead come to the 360. if square-enix truly wants too support both platforms.
