so star ocean 4 is coming to 360 plus a few other new ips which will do moderately well. sony on the other hand maintains exclusive rights to some of the biggest third party games in gaming history. metal gear solid 4 and final fantasy 13. while the xbox is getting b-list titles sony still has it's a-list lineup and will more then likey get these games being released on 360 aswell. never bet against sony.

Star Ocean is an incredible series, ever played a single one of them?

Tales Of...is a major series.

Infinite Undiscovery is by a major developer, Tri-Ace (same as Star Ocean).

Why is today like, all damage control? If the 3 jrpgs announced weren't a big deal, why is the entire forum all one huge damage control thread after another?

When's the release again for FF XIII? How long was the wait of MGS 4?

Frankly... I'd take quality titles in abundance and succession over one game that is just catering to some fan base really.

Original content and new IPs made by quality proven devs or ... a game we know will be great but won't probably wow us in terms of what we already expect...

Hey... there's the chance any of these games could flop of course, but ... MGS 4 and FF XIII aren't the end all games frankly...

I kinda agree, yet disagree completely....all you had to say was "PS3 has Disgaea 3 Xbox can have the rest"

Plus those Xbox JRPG's are really goood

Funny how the 360 has currently has A list games, and A list exclusives.

WHile the PS3s only A list games are the ones you can play on XBOX 360.

Hmm.....thank god MGS 4 finally came out

People are more than convinced Microsoft has shown everything......

And yet as the year has gone on, they have shown more. E3 08 for Microsoft will be like E3 07. Microsoft will lay out the eniter 08 lineup, and the holiday lineup will be worthy of the hype yet again.

THe PS3s biggest gun this year will be out, way before the big holiday run.

Microsoft may not win the first half of 08, but the 2nd half of 08 they could easily steal the show.

Too bad both 360 and PS3 still haven't outdone the Wii and PC in the first half.

It was just the MS JRPG show, so, people are discussing the MS JRPG show...and other console fans are ignoring it and throwing ridiculous crap out there like "xbox is a shooter only console".

Man the cows have been at it all day. I don't have any more tissues left for you guys. The mere fact that the 360 is getting any JRPGS at all let alone more currently then the Sony console is something last gen I thought would never happen.

not just cows 1up to look at what he said- "I firmly believe that, despite Sony's parade of "we don't pay for exclusives" comments over the years, that they have firmly supported S-E in the development of FFXIII (and it's ilk) in order to retain console exclusivity. I'd be very surprised if that changed. I think S-E is content to let tri-Ace do the heavy lifting in supporting the 360 with its content, and I was pretty underwhelmed by the 'RPG conference' as a whole. No real surprises. I mean, I love tri-Ace, and think these announcements are great, but it felt like the 360 got the B-team, while the A-team are free to frolic away on the PS3. Just my two cents."

I agree with you for the most part, exept I think this year could go either way. I mean Microsoft's biggest gun was released last year, Halo 3. I doubt Gears 2 will score better than the first, although I'm sure it will be great no matter what. Sure, there's Fable 2...but will it live up to the hype or will we have a repeat of the first? PS3 also has LBP coming out in Fall, along with a few others that will probably turn out well, like Socom and Resistance 2.

So according to lemmings now PS3 has no RPGS coming out? i'll wait for E3 since there is a huge chance that a few RPGS will be announced for PS3...

Dont forget games such as Valkyria Chronicles, Disgea3, White Knight & FFXIII which are great rpgs... I would safely bet that there will be a couple more announced shortly for PS3..

However good job to MS in getting some great Rpgs too...

So we are to believe that all of SE internal staff are busy making 2 ps3 games? SE has about 2000 workers(thats 10 teams on the average) and yet they can currently only make 2 games for the ps3.Damage control to the MAX dude.

Unless Sony can confirm release dates on White Knight Chronicles, Infamous, and Tekkn 6 for the 2nd half of 08, than the PS3s 2nd half Line up can be beaten pretty easily by Microsoft assuming all there games are hitting on all cylindars.

THat doesn't mean everything has to be AAA.

But GEars of War 2, Fable 2, Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscoverey, Last Remnant, Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise, Left 4 Dead, Halo Wars, Banjo Nuts and Bolts, Too Human, etc all can have a huge impact.....

Sony has Socom, Resistance 2, and Little Big Planet.

With DIsgea and Valkryie, but they need more back up, cause MGS 4 will only carry the PS3 for so long.

PS2 and PS1...yeah usually, although 64s best games were some of the greatest console games of all time.

But this gen The PS3 has had the worst lineup each year.

Launch, Wii had the bigger game with Twilight Princess

07 360 was a given to be better

but Wii had Super Paper Mario, Super Mario Galaxy, Zack and Wikki, Trauma Center, Metroid PRime 3, etc the exclusives were once again Wii>PS3

and so far in 08 the PS3 didn't get its first good(AA or better exclusive) until MGS 4(WHICH WILL BE AAA, crystal ball says so)

Meanwhile the Wii has allready had AAA exclusives in BRawl and No More Heroes

and Mario Kart Wii for AA.


BUt But thats only gamespot

The metacritic scores won't change anything bud.

[QUOTE="Ket87"]Wow Sony gets MGS4 as its onyl really good game. And Final Fantasy is nothing to brag about, that series went downhill after IX. It went from being the premier JRPG to being dullfully average in just 3 games.joker730

oh yea and just forget the fact that that is your opinion, its a system seller, and FF13 is a whole new game

Its a system seller? FF13 is god knows how long away and was just confirmed that its not even far enough along that Square recently said they are not even showing it at E3. Even if I was someone buying a PS3 for just FF13 I would be waiting a long time.

As for 13 being a whole new game does it even matter anymore? Sakaguchi left and since FF has turned into crap. He didn't have any involvement in X and left it up to Nomura and he singlehandedly destroyed the leveling system in use for 9 games + spin-offs into the sphere grid. Not to mention X is undeniably the most linear FF. XI somehow managed to even become a numbered game and ended up being a rather mediocre MMO released seemingly for the sole purpose of being destroyed by WoW. XII was left to Kitase if I remember right who turned the combat system into the hybrid real-time/turn-based which really only works in MMOs and the gambit system which really turned into a more in-depth way to babysit AI partners. Not to mention the lifeless story caused by the decision to restrict cutscenes to a certain length and frequency. I'm glad Sakaguchi left. He was the only one there who realyl knew how to make a game really a FF.

The others were imposters riding on coattails by using the same sound effects and names to cover up being just another RPG. So seeing the downward slope of messing with old conventions and making them worse or failing to update the game fully into the world of modern RPGs. Or cutting the feet out from underneath the story I just see 13 being more of the same now. I hope everyone involved with the last three has nothing to do with 13 and maybe it might be good. But I've lost faith in the FF series. IX was the last excellent game and I thought it wasn't even that great at the time untill I played the last few games and looked back on it thought wow IX totally kicked these games asses. 6-9 were the best I really wished the FF series would have stopped there and it could of faded off on a high note but now Square is just milking it.

I take it you didn't look at the other threads before you posted in this one. SE said no FF13 at E3 this year.

i didnt even bother reading the whole thing anyways, opinions.....opinions, wow dude you make everything sound like a fact and you dissed on ff10 and thats my favorite FF next FF7 and possibly one of fav. games, well anyway im not to worried about it because everybody is entitled to their own opinion but sure a lot of ppl disagree with you and dude just stop with FF not being an system seller or FF 13 not being great cause you dont know jack about it and correction they said there wouldnt be a demo at E3 nothing about a new trailer or gameplay footage/new info

I think it's sad that Microsoft is trying harder than Sony to secure good games and yet they still won't achieve strong sales in Japan.

There's something really wrong with that... it just lets Sony get cocky, and it's worse for us gamers.

I know that.

My point was that they're not gonna get the sales even when they deserve it. I'm not trying to be a pessimist or anything but nothing they've done in Japan has made an impact, even though they've worked harder than Sony has over there.

Hopefully, they will make up for that by getting plenty of JRPG sales in North America and Europe.

Exactly. It was a smart move by MS.
