I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought Xenoblade was kinda overrated. Personally I thought the battle system was kinda lame, and the graphics weren't what they were cracked up to be at all. Maybe there's something I'm missing here.

For me, most of the best RPGs were on the handhelds. Legend of Heroes: Trails of the Sky was pretty good. I also really liked Final Fantasy: 4 Heroes of Light and the FFIV remake. Oh, let's not forget The World Ends With You either. Golden Sun Dark Dawn had some annoying stuff but was pretty fun.

As for PS3, 360, and Wii, I personally liked:

360:
Lost Odyssey - A sprawling RPG that feels like the old FF games, but with a fresh coat of paint.

Blue Dragon - This game felt like a spiritual successor to Final Fantasy V, what with being able to mix abilities. I liked the kinda-sorta-steampunk setting.

Last Remnant - LR is very polarizing, but I thought the idea was pretty cool. It felt like a new Saga game without actually being one.

PS3:
Atelier Ayesha - The problems with the Arland trilogy were fixed with this game. I really like Ayesha as a protagonist; she's adorable but not overly cavity-inducing like Meruru. The refinements made to the battle system, like the follow-up attacks, were great too. And alchemy had its biggest purpose in this game, being the main way that Ayesha fights.

White Knight Chronicles 2 - I am a big fan of this game's battle system. The fact that they included a fixed-up version of the first game was cool too. The story and characters may not be the best, but this game was great to me just because of how the battle system was handled.

Wii:
Arc Rise Fantasia - This game is just one big clustersmurf of crazy, right down to the abominable voice acting. lol But that tends to work in its favor for me, and it's a pretty challenging and big game. I was surprised that Imageepoch was able to pull off a console RPG, since they'd pretty much only made handheld ones before.
