exactly. The rpg world doesn't need saving. Square-enix does. Too many people think that square-enix is JRPG. They are only the biggest fish. Nippon ichi, level 5, atlus, mistwaker, namco-bandai all still make fantastic games and even better than SE efforts of late. The only must have games they have made in two years IMO is a dragonquest IV remake on the DS and the world ends with you on the DS.
BUBBLES MAN
IMO the real best rpg of the year. There are tons of great Jrpgs out right now. If they dont' sell well or at least in the states, I don't really care as long as Japan keeps on making them and they keeping on coming over.
man SE is really annoying me. Instead of getting final fantasy 13, versus, dissdia, kingdom hearts games out the door quicker they waste man power on infinite undiscovery and last remnat for a quick buck. These games better be good or I'm turning my back on square enix
haha not to mention that tales of vesperia like came out in america like two months ago. Valkyrie chronicles two weeks ago, its not like there hasn't been any great rpgs recently. JRPGs dead my $#@
by the 360 only comment was simply to say if you only had one system its more easy to say there hasn't been alot of JRPGS that are really good. By listing good JRPGs on that system I even proved my point that there are still good JRPG games. Then throw in the great games on PS3, PS2 and DS it not only reinforces my opinion, but makes it impossible to say JRPGs are dying. This isn't a console debate, its a JRPG debate. Also JRPGs besides final fantasy hasn't sold that great to begin with. So s...
your completely wrong. haha DS seems to be getting the better JRPGS, but your way off. Disegea 3 and valkire chronicles are great games and not to mention in two weeks persona 4 comes out. When you live in a small bubble and think only square enix makes good Jap rpgs and don't own a ps2 or ps3, then yeah your right. lol
No, Western rpgs haven't passed Japanese ones. Thats something someone who only plays a 360 would say. Valkyrie chronicles is a fantastic game and is the best JRPG this Gen so far. I would put up there with fallout 3. Folklore was good, tales of vespeira, eternal sonata, and blue dragon were pretty good, and white knight chronicles will push the bar even higher. Not to mention the true best rpg of 2008 will be coming out very soon on the ps2, persona 4 is japanese, I have to say that comment ...
o man I couldn't agree more. Those games do exist. People are just to blind to see them. Katamari damacy, loco roco, little big planet, shadow of the colossus,folklore, and now this. Great unique games. Its funny when all people play are gears of war, call of duty, halo, or stick to one genre and wonder why there isn't any new games.
Its funny how the wii was suppose to revolutionize gaming, when really the most unique games so far have mostly been on Sony machines. lol
besides where would we be without Japan, gaming wise? No nintendo? No street fighter, final fantasy, mario, metriod, mega man, resident evil, devil may cry, zelda, castlevania and ALL of the games that spawned from the inspiration from it. You must be new to gaming or something lol
I can't wait for the shift of main jap dev support from the DS and wii to the ps3. Then the true next gen exp. can begin.
There are alot of people including myself, who don't play gears of war, mass effect, or fallout 3. They play Japanese games, like star ocean, final fantasy, persona, lunar, disgea, dragonquest the list goes on and on. One of the main reasons why the 360 even though it was winning in worldwide and got games like Resident evil and devil may cry, it still wasn't getting the niche titles or hardcore Jap rpgs, because it was bombing in Japan. For fans like us, what system wins in Japan is a very b...
The art style is very similar to skies of Arcadia. In fact, you will be happy about this, two characters from that game are hidden characters in the game from what I understand.
o man. I actually really loved speed racer. Speaking from a diehard fan of the series, it was actually done with a lot of respect and passion of the series. It even had the same villians and cars. It freaking had peter ferdanez in it!!IMO, if its done like that, it will be awesome. Speaking from a diehard dragonball fan, this looks nothing close to vision akira toriyama had intended. Foul!!!
I'm glad its coming out soon, but I still need some time to play the Jrpgs I have now. Geez, playing D3 which is massive deep, then I'm going to play DQiv remake. Throw in the great VC, I'm already staked far as JRPGs go.
I think you got that confused with FPS. lol
oo arn't you forgeting ultimate spiderman??
bubble back at ya!
heck yes!!!!
it would be fun to have speed racer vs ken, or tecknoman vs ryu!
this is a fun game. Good PSN games lately. quest for booty, bionic commando, and now this!! Wish godzilla would have showed up though... lol
PoP is a good game, but its clearing taking ideas of masterpieces of okami and shadow of the colossus and combing them. Games do that all the time. I couldn't count how many FPS do this.....
