Most of the JRPG's announced for HD systems have been or will be on the Xbox 360. Certainly it has EASILY all the best titles from that genre.

White Knight Chronicles didn't end up being nearly what we'd hoped it would be. The only exception to this rule at this point is Versus likely remaining exclusive.

But even then the main game is on the Xbox 360.

Oooh, I didn't know you'd been anticipating it, how funny. Still, even stranger that you've passed judgement on it without having played it!

And the other "exceptions" you're missing are Demon's Souls and Valkyria Chronicles, which are both lingering a shade below 90 on Metacritic.

At one time it was my most anticipated JRPG after Versus.  I've passed judgement on it based on several reviews actually.  But I'll probably still rent it.

Certainly I agree about VC though, one of the best games I have beaten this generation.

I can't wait for Fable 3.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

From what I understand they're adding quite a bit of stuff to the North American version of White Knight Chronicles, like was done with Rogue Galaxy. So while white knight will clearly be nothing gound breaking, the spruced up version should be decent. Which reviews made you pass judgement? Please don't say Famitsu >.>

@Starcraft
Yes, Atelier Rorona, Last Rebellion, Trinity Universe, Trinity Oil Zero, 3D dot heroes, Bumpy Trot 2 and Agarest Senki Zero are all coming to the 360, and those are HD one's.

Most of the JRPG's that have been announced this year are either for the Wii or the PS3



darthdevidem01 on 06 September 2009

For WRPG's yeah

Mass effect, Fable franchises pwn anything PS3 has in that light

but for JRPG's, barring LO....the 360 one's are nothing to even talk about now that TOV is coming & SO4 after being so highly anticipated ended up disappointing according to the general consensus on the internet forums.

In fact I will go as far as to say.....if you see RPG's from Japan (not just JRPG's as this topic is about RPG's in general).....PS3 has the superior line up at this moment. (VC, Disgaea, Persona 5....which all the rumors are pointing towards being exclusive, Demon's Soul)

But WRPG's.....Xbox 360 pwns!

________________

@Hero

excellent list

@starcraft

Hero makes a great point, the tide for JRPG releases seems to be turning. after SO4, TOV didn't perform upto the past series's standards sales wise, the tide for JRPG exclusivity is going towards PS3 in terms of HD Consoles



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Yeah 360 does have the best rpg's than any other system. I can't wait for next year strong line up.

I seriously hope you're joking

For once I kind of agree with shio

the PC has many many, in fact TONS of "RPG" exclusives

The PC could very well be right behind the Nintendo DS in terms of RPG variety & quality

If he means JRPG lineup he is right and you can't deny it (PC literally doesn't get any JRPG's) but PC has very great WRPG lineup. Even better than X360.

I wasn't aware you'd played Demon's Souls either.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

mass effect 2, dragon age, and fable 3 for sure
