LOL I doubt theres a JRPG than can take out Mass Effect 2 next year. It's just a dominant RPG as is.

Final Fantasy XIII may have something to say about that young man!


Final Fantasy will be the best JRPG and will sell well but as far as quality and truer RPG elements are concerned Mass Effect 2 all the way.:)

Of course we know the issue of quality will be subjective. According to many, it's also a field where it's rarely lacked....


Quality can be subjective, yes, as in 'eye of the beholder' beauty. Theres also objective quality which is based upon value in its genre and what it offers above and beyond. It's no contest really in an objective sense. Thats where I am getting at. Final Fantasy is a big story which you just play out with the old RPG turn based system. Mass Effect 2 is much more than just that.

I guess that's a subject we'll always disagree on, Final Fantasy is much more than that descritption in my opinion.

Final Fantasy is just a story with a battle system. Prove me wrong. I would love to see it your rebuttal.

@ Stage...

I'm not sure how FF13 is a truer RPG...in what respects?


I never said FFXIII was a truer RPG. Mass Effect is more of an RPG than FFXIII will ever be. I've already seen the first five minutes of FFXIII gameplay and its not really so different from the last. Minor changes really as always but thankfully a new story to look at.

How is it not going to have the quality?



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.

I am very sure that Mass Effect 2 had a higher budget than FFXIII. No one hires Martin Sheen for voice acting without paying 1 million or more. LOLz

THERE IS NO competition for Mass Effect in the WRPG genre

well unless Fable 3 makes it next year, sorry but I'm biased towards britain!

What other WRPG can stand up to it in 2010?!

{note I have not said RPG, I am sure you all know why}

Since there's no confirmation of The Elder Scrolls V, none!

What about Fallout New Vegas?

Well, I won't persoanlly speak about Fallout as I'm not a big fan, but I suppose it'd be some comp if it came out closer to Mass Effect 2's release.

Probably will release in fall so i doubt their will be competition between them.

Thats great. Most games today funded by huge publishers for the HD systems have huge budgets as well much larger than that.

Well, this isn't a contest of right and wrong S.T.A.G.E. I have an opinion, as do you. They differ, so what?

I respect your opinion, usually you explain it even though we agree to disagree at times. This is one of the few times you never explained though.
