I didn't think Dragon Age was considered to be an Action-RPG, but a WRPG. I was thinking something like Kingdom Hearts is classified as an Action-RPG. As far as the subject goes, if they're referring to WRPGS then I don't think it's a good idea. I play Final Fantasy because it's a JRPG series and not a WRPG series. I probably won't try the game out if I find both XIII and Versus XIII to be bad.

When they mentioned at E3 that the only Japanese game shown from SE was XIII-2. I thought that was pretty sad. I'm thinking maybe people are playing less of these games is because they're less available on consoles. I would buy some if I knew of any for the PS3. White Knight Chronicles doesn't appeal to me and the other ones are for the 360, but no new ones have been made in a long while.

Also perhaps people are also tired of the same kind of stories presented in these games. Maybe not, because a lot of WRPGs seem to stay similar in story as well.
