@outlawauron: and Dragon Quest is always very polished.


I haven´t played any of them. But from what I´ve seen I´m uninterested in them. I don´t like the gameplay of TLR first of all and battles can drag a lot of time. Turn-based battles with command input are the ones that need to load and end ASAP, except boss battles. IU, graphics aside that look like a ps2 game in HD (FFXII in higher resolution via emulation looks actually the same or maybe slightly better), looked nice to me until I heard the voice acting and read about the plot.

Anyway, the only jRPGs on 360 that I´ve played/look forward are LO, SO4 and ToV. I was also disappointed by all WRPGs too, except Fable II which I didn´t have high expectations to begin with. I haven´t tried ME but the elevator loading and the tactical shooter gameplay turns me off.

Really?  I read that the story was penned by Ryo Mizuno who wrote the Record of Lodoss War novels

Doesn't matter. Did you not read the undisputable facts here?

Let's try this again.

Team SaGa = My favorite.

So with that undeniable proof right there it is totally obvious that "The Last Remnant" is the better game.

The level of quality (and then effort) across the game wasn't equal. By the ending alone, you can tell they were trying to go ahead be done with it. The level of voice acting is very good for the main characters, but everyone else is pretty terrible. (I laughed whenever Zagi would speak)

Next, I'd say the animation the cutscenes wasn't very good either. What sticks out the most was from  Ehmead Hill in the demo level. The little karate chop to the next thing, goodness. I think that Tales is the most polished 360 RPG, but that doesn't make a polished game.

(And Meteor Storm + Holy Lance + Luna Gale + Lone Wolf Storm = <10 FPS)

      I looked it up on Wikipedia, and you are right Ryo Mizuno wrote Lodoss Wars and Infinite Undiscovery.  Somehow, I had the mistaken impression that Rieko Kodama whom created Phantasy Star and Skies of Arcadia was the writer of Infinite Undiscovery.  She also wrote 7th Dragon which was released in Japan on DS last week and according to the latest Japanese preview it was the second highest selling game of the week and sold 170,000 copies.

Infinite Undiscovery, I actually was a fan of Lodoss series, never knew he wrote IU too. I just can't stand Last Remnant, finished the first disc and than decided that was enough. I hated how lost I felt in that game about everything and the lack of explanation. Last Remnant required too much trial and error, formations can change and upgrade depending on who's in your team but you have no idea who is required -_-. Not being able to choose actions also pisses me off, for reasons unknownest to me I would never get the revive option or would get it like 1 turn out of 6 that they're dead.

JRPGs seem to have some akward cutscene animation for a reason beyond my understanding. SO4, IU, ToV, etc. Can't these JRPG developers make better cutscene animations?

What do you expect from a fast pace REAL TIME battle system. Of course there are going to be some frame issues but other then that ToV was very well polished.
