The next game i want to get is blue-dragon but it probs won't be out for a few months,so i want a game to tie-me over until it is released,i.e an rpg...

The only rpg's on the 360 is oblivion and Enchanted arms,now before you scream oblivion at me bear in mind this:

  • I prefer jrpg's than wrpg's
  • I had morrowind GOTY for the original xbox,and i found it too boring to bother to play it.

I tried Enchanted Arms... IN MY OPINION it sucked. Especially compared to Oblivion. Give Oblivion a try and if you dont like it trade it in and get EA... I guess.

Oblivion. Even if you prefer Japanese RPGs. IMO Enchanted Arms is terrible. Its insanely linear. You cant explore at all. The story and the characters are also horribly bad. Oblivion is MUCH better. Thats just my opinion though. There are some people who prefer Enchanted Arms but if it was me I would get Oblivion. If you still have soubt maybe you should try renting if its possible

I havent played it, but enchanted arms got mediocre reviews.  Oblivion, on the other hand, has had stellar reviews.

i dont even need to post my awnser... although thats my opinion if you love Japanese rpgs and just despise western RPGs then maybe you shud get enchanted arms, but anyone who loves both would obviously go for oblivion

i couldn't get into morrowind either, in fact i didn't like oblivion at 1st neither, but somehow i've taken an interest to oblivion and bought it recently...and it's amazingly deep & addictive!

different strokes for different folks...but EA is nowhere near as good as Oblivion (GOTY)!

I just like good rpgs I have not play Enchanted Amrs but seen pics and it doesn't look great it looks good, just barely. Oblivion looks great and like all good rpgs, it's stole 3 months of my life and then I did the main quest.

Go get original Xbox RPGs, I've been playing Jade Empire and KOTOR 2 a lot, they're at least closer to jRPGs than Oblivion is. Baldur's Gate and Marvel UA if you like action RPGs. Just pretend it's a Mana game.

Definitely Oblivion, but Enchanted Arms isn't all that bad, just not worth $60.

Well, as of right now the price of Enchanted Arms has dropped, it's 39,99$ CAN wherever I shop, so I guess it must be like 30$ US. Oblivion is still full priced. That being said...

I'm a huge fan of JRPGs but I gave Oblivion a shot, I mean, the reviews, the fanbase, I told myself I was surely missing on something... I'd say, keep an open mind and try Oblivion, you might be pleasantly surprised.

I'm sure you can find Enchanted Arms for cheap somewhere, but I'd go with Oblivion and by the time you're through, Blue Dragon will be out. ;)

Get Enchanted Arms and forget Oblivion. TES4 is the best game available for XBOX 360, but who want the best game when you can play one horrible at the same price? :)

I like JRPGs as much as the next guy, but I'm gonna have to say Oblivion. Morrowind was boring to me at first, but it eventually grew on me once I played it for a while, and Oblivion's just a more streamlined take on it. They've added features like fast travel so the game isn't as much about running across a continent. They've also streamlined the fatigue system so you don't have to walk everywhere.

If you buy it used at Gamestop, you can return it within 7 days. The very beginning of the game is a bit boring, but if it doesn't hold your attention at all you can just return it. Enchanted Arms is just not very good, and I recommend holding out for Blue Dragon. It's only about 3 more months or so, and you wouldn't have wasted your cash on Enchanted Arms in the meantime.
