to be fair, nearly all the RPG's I have on the DS are remakes or ports. Not to say the DS doesn't have a ton of original content, but a lot of them are spin offs. I haven't played DQIX yet so I have to reserve judgment on that, but I do trust Level-5 to have delivered on the legacy they set up in DQ VIII, and it certainly looks that way from some of the things I've seen.Originally Posted by JKTrix
The 360 does have more RPGs, but then when you list the RPGs most people here wouldn't really care much about them. Maybe they'd care about them if they got PS3 versions, like Star Ocean and Tales of Vesperia (though Vesperia's not coming in English), but otherwise they'd probably convince themselves that they're not interested.
And some of them are pretty bad.[/QUOTE]
That's an incendiary generalization. I'm not one to trust in reviews, but I've seen from fans in general as well that games like Infinite Undiscovery and Last Remnant really haven't been that good. I do want to play Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, I've seen a couple hours of them at friends' places, and they do indeed look like games I'd have a blast with. But they essentially looked to me (and my peeps who've beaten them agreed) like NES RPG's in HD-clothing.
Whereas Valkyria Chronicles and Demon's Souls are probably the top 2 JRPG's of this generation in terms of critical acclaim and fan-belovedness (wow, bad word), not to mention they've brought new things to the genre and fully stand toe-to-toe with any big production game from the west.
While these are indeed only two games (there are others like Disgaea 3 and White Knight to fill the gap, still, you seem to know a lot more about obscure 360 games which there seems to be a lot of) I think this last fact about those two are things to be celebrated, and just cause enough for any JRPG fan, provided they are interested in other genres, to purchase a ps3.
