where you're getting your information. As of now, the 360 has more RPGs available and in it's pipeline than PS3 (just the facts). I hate fanboys that make random comments based on crap!!

In your dreams baby. How many RPGs there are currently on PS3? It does not help you much if people can play the game better in 360 like half year before it comes to PS3 as a sucky port?

@ericnellie

well not really the PS3 has over 14 JRPG's coming, not including FFXIII, White Knight Story, and FFvXIII.
Lets not for get Star Ocean 4. And what does the 360 have? Blue Dragon, LO, and now this new game, and we are talking exclusives here right?

Okay, as of right now and by the end of 2007 -- there are more RPGs for the 360 than the PS3. I'm a fan of both and have both, I'm just saying that by the end of 2007 and half of 2008 there will be more RPGs out for 360. I do know that the PS3 has it's heavy hitters that will one day make its way to release like Kingdom Hearts, FFXIII, and Dragon Quest but, they won't be out for a while. In the near future and available now are these:

Blue Dragon, Phantasy Star, Final Fantasy XI, Oblivion, Two Worlds, Overlord, Eternal Sonata, Lost Odyssey, Enchanted Arm, Fable 2, and Mass Effect. I didn't mention the others like last remnant or the other recently announced titles.

I love my PS3 but, don't get me wrong; I know what reality is. I'm sure that when it's all said and done, PS3 will probably have more but, that's not for a while. So, for 07 I'll being playing JRPGs (Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, and Eternal Sonata) on the 360 and Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, and Haze on my PS3.

By the way, if anyone has ever read any of my posts. I always post the most unbiased comments. I'm a gamer and love games and frankly -- without both the PS3 & 360 I don't know where I'd be (I'd probably have a little more money in the bank though:)

Your inability to form a cohesive sentence aside, it is downright illogical (and probably indicative of a mental disorder) to say that the Xbox 360 is "only good for fps". All games of all genres can be played on any system, obviously. What you're probably referencing is the thought that the 360 is "marketed" towards FPS games. Whether that is true or not is a different debate all together, but please stop insulting humanity with the kind of thinking you just displayed here.

midgard2296838d ago

tri-ace has always belonged to enix, square fused with enix so now its theirs too. its like metro studios and nintendo for metroid, and silicon knights for fire emblem and nintendo, bungie for microsoft etc. so yes their name is on it cuz they own tri-ace lol.

but yeah, i dont like the character design of this game, it looks....like an odd mixture of jap and western. and clayish. not sayin its bad, cuz i've been a fan of tri-ace games since star ocean 2, valkyrie profile, VP2, star ocean 3, radiata stories and soon star ocean 4 :D

ps3 have many JPRG,s and it,s have the best rpg exclusives (FFXIII,FFVXIII,WHITE KNIGHT SYORY,KINGDOM HEARTS3)all are AAA titels,and
more will be revealed at TGS and also eternal sonatra witch was 360 exclusive is also coming to the ps3.

x360 fans think that x360 have more rpg games than ps3,WRONG.
maybe you all will not belive me,wait for TGS and you will see,MS revealed thier new rpg IPs in pre-TGS because they know they that sony have much more rpgs that will be revealed in TGS So thay want to give hype for thier new RPGs.

and let,s make it clear ps3 is the console choice for RPG fans like the ps1 and ps2.
x360 is the console choice for shooter fans like the xbox.

Well see, here's the flaw in your thinking. The PS3 has the most potential to be the "RPG console" of choice, while the fact of the matter lies that currently, the Xbox 360 offers more RPGs, both Japanese and Western styles. Like many things PS3, the claim you made is still in the "wait and see" mode.

It is highly improbable that any of those titles you mentioned will be available less than a year from right now, not to mention that, to the best of my knowledge, Kingdom Hearts 3 hasn't been announced yet, and the developer has stated that the next Kingdom Hearts game wouldn't be a sequel. Thus, no platform is known about a game which doesn't exist yet.

Right now the PS3 doesn't have much of an identity as ANY kind of a console. It's still trying to find its place in the world, while the Wii and 360 have already firmly established what they are about.

godofthunder106837d ago

the 360 only have 16 percent of its games that are fps,and the 360 does have more rpg then the ps3 has and that a fact.
no matter if you show sony fanboys the facts they will still say that the ps3 is better so call because blueray could hold more information but what will they say now that the hd-dvd has permission to start releasing a hd-dvd disc that could hold 51 instead of 50 like the BR disc,and what this means is that hd-dvd will hold more information then BR,and on top of that when critics compare a movie that's on both disc allways recomend the hd-dvd version because they say it has a better picture,better sound,and has a lot more extras on it and that's the facts,now i know that the ps3 fanboys will come up with some crap but facts is facts.

"Announced in a press conference tonight, Infinite Undiscovery has been the brainchild of Tri-Ace President Yoshiharu Gota for the last 10 years."

That's always a good sign, maybe Infinite Undiscovery will be more then a run of the mill JRPG

seems to have more RPGs on the not so distant horizon than PS3. I really have to give Microsoft credit this generation for persuing third parties so strongly. And developing these relationships.

It really is bringing a lot of great games and especially new IPs to the 360.
