"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

The only reason I only mentioned "HD" was because XBOX 360 owners were the ones saying "PS3 can't sell JPRGs," and the like. It was a dumb argument to begin with, but at least now it's put to rest. Likely, it'll outsell every 360 JRPG in Japan, which should be enough to keep this argument down.

It's also the reason Stickball is all over this thread, because he was grossly incorrect in agreeing with that sentiment.

On a sidenote to stickball, IDK how you could enjoy any of the 360 JRPGs, save for LO and ToV, but seeing as that you didn't play PS1 JRPGs, your standards must be extremely low. Xenogears is probably one of the best JRPGs around, like Euphoria said, and you owe it to yourself to play some good JRPGs like that. Not mediocre ones like LO and the like. And don't get me started on IU, BD, and TLR.

SNES rpgs >>> PS1 rpgs.

Hard to say...

Xenogears, Vagrant Story, Star Ocean: The Second Story, FF VII-IX, Valkyrie Profile, SaGa Frontier 1-2, Grandia, Lunar 1-2, Legend of Mana, Legend of Dragoon, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, Chrono Cross Breath of Fire 3-4...

Against: Secret of Mana, Tales of Phantasia, FF IV-VI, Terranigma, Secret of Evermore, Chrono Trigger, Illiusion of Gaia, Star Ocean, Bahamut Lagoon...

Maybe I missed a couple... but my choice goes for the PS1.

As for WKC, nice... I hope it does 350-400k LTD (or more thanks to online, Japan seems to love it). For now my primary concern is actually getting the game.

Bahamut Lagoon is a SRPG

I can add many quality missed titles to the arguement but largely i must know whether you mean to include SRPG... or rather they are only included when bolstering "JRPG Lineups".

Some that come to mind in the traditional end. EARTHBOUND, Act Raiser, EVO, Robotrek, 7th Saga, Lufia, Lufia 2 and Super Mario RPG.
