Show me a game on consoles this gen that posts numbers like FF VII, Kingdom Hearts, or FF X and you will prove me wrong.

 

 =p  Ugh....Show me a JRPG that sold millions last generation that is not FF,KH or DQ.


Anyway, I have a feeling a lot of JRPG fans are getting interested in WRPG's.

 

 I didn't want to go here but..

I wanted to edit my post and say 'JRPG console game ofcourse' but you were a bit faster than me.

Anyway their are just not that many JRPG's that sell millions and the ones that did last gen don't have a sequel out this gen so we can't compare.

I am really getting tired of JRPG's the genre need some refreshments new ideas.

 






Around the Network

its such a bummer cry on was cancelled, i hope mistwalker still makes games for 360.



eh...

Blue Dragon still did over a half million.
LO is going to hit a million.
Failures? I think not. Fallout 3/Oblivion sales levels? Never, the OG XBox and 360 both embraced Western RPGS over Japanese. That will probably always be the case.



It's just that simple.

Maybe there's a reason the next Star Ocean is subtitled The Last Hope...



^I thought the same thing





Around the Network

After the IU and TLR some people were making jokes about it being the last hope of x360 jRPG exclusives :)

Still I wish those guys made LO 2 or something similar in style. I'd have more reasons to buy one of those arcades.

Hopefully Mistwalker will just start making Wii or PS3 games rather than folding... most likely Wii, I'm thinking, if their Japanese publisher wants to make any money in the short term -- maybe PS3 if they've got deep enough pockets for the long haul.

 

Out of touch, as usual. Mistwalker is making games for the DS, three released so far and a fourth on the way. Developing for the ps3 is too expensive and jrpgs have an unknown future on the wii, at least until DQX launches sometime in the next decade.





Current-gen game collection uploaded on the profile, full of win and good games; also most of my PC games. Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts 1982-2008 (Requiescat In Pace).

Mistwalker doesn't make games. They design games and other companies make them.
