Undoubtly it's a great game, but I am actually surprised to see that this is the first AAA (>= 90) metacritic score JRPG in this generation.

Yes. We have not had Final Fantasy yet, but RPG used to be Japanese forte.

Currently, metacritic scores are as follow:

Demon's soul 90

Valkylria Chronicles 86

Tales of Vesperia (360 version) 79
*As there are so many additional contents on PS3 version, it should score higher, but there is no way that it will have 11 points increase.

Blue Dragon 79

Disgaea 3 78

Lost Odyssay 78

Star Ocean 4 72

Infinite Undiscovery 68

Last Remnant 66

Final Fantasy XI (360) 66

Since I don't own 360, I haven't played any of 360 exclusive JRPGs, but I have played Demon's oul, Valkyria Chronicle, Tales of Vesperia, and White Knight Chronicle. Personally, Demon's Souls was my top JRPG until played ToV (PS3 version). But I won't call the Demon's Soul the JRPG GoTY nor the ToV. Because FFXIII is coming out this year in Japan. ;)

It isn't a JRPG, it is a WRPG, made by a Japanese Company.

Or now will you call Uncharted/Gears of War a WTPS and Quantom Theory JTPS?

Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.
