1 out of 10
Very nice review......theres been more knowledgeable reviews than I thought there would be
xenoblade is definitely in my top 50 japanese rpgs of this gen
That is one sorry generic and multiplat filled list
They got the valkyria part right......little else..
no metal gear 4, no disgaea, no 13-2, no tales anything ( theres been 3 pick one), no atelier, no dragon age ( get rid of skyrim) ect....
I didnt know when I entered the article it would be port city on the continent of vita
and people say other industries are in bad shape............
the game industry worldwide is in dire shape
The other problem I see, which is really apart of this article, and apart of the general internet hating community.....
Is the generalization, that all square has done this gen is ff 13( which by the way was like it or not critically acclaimed with an average review of 84....)
It isnt all theyve done.......birth by sleep, dragon quest IX, tactics advance 2, the world ends with you, and many other games this gen have been beloved......
Now Bac...
Your contradicting yourself.........the ds and psp are post ps2........
But I cant be that angry, I haven't laughed so hard at ridiculousness in quite some time......kudos..
Now let me give you some facts.......
1) More japanese rpgs have been made than in any other gen ( including ios,ds,psp,ps3,wii,360)
2) More japanese rpgs are getting localized than ever before, including ones from past gens that are seeing new light ...
This article makes me want to smack my head......
let me get this straight......
This person is 14 years old........And pretending he knows about rpg history.......
Let me get this straight, this article lies, generalizes, and presents half information, and I am supposed to take this seriously?
Ex.
"The only platforms that still have a significant amount of JRPGs released on them in North America is the ...
grand knight history is a psp game man..............not a vita game........the rest are ports basicalply
nothing that would sway anyone
"All of the hype surrounding Xenoblade suggested an old-school JRPG; a breath of fresh air in a genre that has strayed so far from its roots"
did you play radiant historia? You claim your a crono trigger fan, and if you played this game along with hundreds of others this gen, this quote would still be in your head
your other mistake was quoting that egm review...........
"Xenoblade is most definitely not a return-to-classic-for...
what a old article
your kidding.........consoles arent dying? wonderful.........
it wont be.......
What a ridiculous article
people say the gb will fail, the nes, the snes, the n64, the gamecube, the wii, the gba, the ds, the 3ds
It never changes
Nintendo is in a far better position than either sony or microsoft
The cheapest and weakest systems always sell more......so basically what this article is telling me falsely is the wii u will automatically be #1
action rpg huh? well it is a side game....
"So ladies and gentlemen, behold before you the greatest and indisputable king of console gaming."
HAHAHA great joke g4amers
Why isnt this being reported?

Nintendo likes the name Wii U and wants to keep it, but apparently someone or some company woke up really late in the game and has been giving them trademark issues about using the letter U in the name. Because of this Nintendo have been thinking of a Plan B but I was told that it’s rare for Ninte...
of course it will compete……………in fact its going to be number 1 in the gen…………anyone who would write this blog, doesnt know gaming
people right off EVERY nintendo system............
they wrote off the ds, the wii, the 3ds........what else is new?
And the wii might not have alot of third party support but it has the only game that matyters aka dq X
Who cares.........I am so tired of correcting reviews generalizations, falsehoods, and lies that I just dont care much about reviews anymore.....the 6.5's or the 9.5's
Ive seen just as many 9.5 reviews say dumb things about this game ( and rpgs in general) as much as this review....
Your review had so much promise and it was actually really good but you fell trap to the generalizing pitfall.......
"In a time where Japanese RPGs largely have become formulaic and lost much of their former glory"
I could argue every single genre is formulaic............ But at least japanese rpgs continue to innovate and really are the most diverse type of game you can buy.........
"Not only do they flirt with Western RPGs in...
