DQ IX, DQ X, FFXIII and Versus will all be AAA games with at least a million sales first week. Same old same old, some things never change and that includes no other JRPG franchise being any good.

 

 May not be a franchise yet but Lost Odyseey says hi oh Suikoden, Shin Megami Tensei & Tales of... series' do as well.



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to Kinect &  PS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

I will get it but I am a little dissapointed but I think White Knight will be the RPG I am waiting for

Kiss those dreams goodbye because WKC suffers from a mediocre story and a relative lack of eye candy(I'm referring to special effects in battles, not the graphics which are pretty damn good).  Not trying to hurt your feelings but just saying.

 

 

well the story has to be better then Rogue Galaxy and I like the art style of this game and the battle system seems very interesting in the way you could create ur own combos. I will Star Ocean 4 for the eye candy and WKC for everything else

LOL at the Selnor worriers. Any JRPG fan doesnt use reviews from normal sites.

Specialist sites like RPGfan are the sites I'll be listening to. Would you like to know why?

FF12 was a 6 at best for me. What do you think Game Informer gave it....

but.....RPGfan.com gave FFXII a 9.7

http://rpgfan.com/reviews/finalfantasy12/index.html

so yeah, doesn't look like they're a good place to go either (for you).  I usually find RPGfan.com mirrors my own thoughts pretty well, but then again I find the same for most metacritic scores (except Eternal Sonata)

Having "unbearable dialogue", "awkward plot points", and "ludicrous story development" is pretty much fatal flaws for JRPG's for me.

"Professor... I.. I finally made friends...
I founds myself some new friends, professor..." -Edge Maverick
Oh Lawd. >_>

Star Ocean 4 might be right to some people, but it seems it isn't right for me.
I'm checking one more review then moving on if it doesn't hook me back...

I think Meracle is the one saying that.  Why would Edge say that when he has been childhood friends with Reimi?

 

BTW, there is something weird and akward about dialogue that creeps me out but I'm not quite sure what it is?

And what is wrong with that?

Here's RPGFan's review of White Knight Chronicles: http://www.rpgfan.com/reviews/White_Knight_Chronicles/index.html

"Things just trudge along mindlessly in a story that makes Rogue Galaxy look like Xenogears"

OT: I read the review and looks alright. I'll wait for RPGFan and GameSpot reviews before I make my decision if I should get this first day or after a price drop.
