    Sad With awesome series like Wild Arms, Suikoden and Star Ocean effectively dead now (and FF just getting worse and worse), what's a JRPG fan like me to do??? I've tried playing all the big JRPGs for PS3, and with the exception of a few, most of them seem to suck. The WRPGs - if you can truly call most of them that, rather than "Action/Adventure" or "sandbox"- don't offer me much promise, either.

    Does anyone else feel my pain here? Crying or Very sad There were so many impressive RPGs for PS and PS2, but now... Is this the end of incredible traditional RPGs for "regular" (i.e. non-portable) consoles like PS3 as we know it? I mean, PS3 has been around for about half a decade in the West (esp. North America) right?? So it can't be for LACK OF TIME!

    It seems the only place I could probably find good RPGs available for PS3 is Play Asia. But those are usually pretty damn pricy and in Japanese. Neutral Or is Gamefly's selection just really shitty in this dept.? Then again, I haven't seen a much better RPG selection at stores like Best Buy as of late...

    I know what you mean, but Im still not finished with the RPGs I have on my emulators so I haven't felt the blow yet.

    But I think what it comes down to is Game Developers seem to be focused on "Action RPGs" that focus on gameplay more than story, which is sad but I expect demand of a game that has a good story and feel like old RPGs so who knows if the elements of older RPGs wont resurface on the next generation of consoles

    The Atelier series, the Agarest series, and up coming Mugen Souls all prove there is no such thing as "the death of the JRPG" on the PS3. If you really think that, you aren't looking hard enough, which you have to have some INCREDIBLE skill to not look hard enough in a realm where only about 3 publishers tread.

    I'm looking forward to Mugen Souls and The God and Fate Revolution Paradox. Not just because they're NIS games, it's because they look really interesting and I'm happy to see their release. There are still quite a few good JRPGS out there. Except, I understand why you would think this...

    Atelier is the one with all the potions and mixing, right? Yeah... I couldn't really get into those games, if I recall. Neutral

    Same with Agarest, I think... I hated shit like Blazblue and Neptunia, as well. And esp. Nier... I tried Disgaea for a few hours, but they just weren't my thing. Mad The battle system alone was just god-awful!

    Cross Edge was OK, I guess, although I never really finished playing it, tbh. After a few nights, I think I was at the point where the game's 'fun' level just didn't justify spending several nights more on it. Tales of Graces f was good, though! Wink I of course also enjoyed P4.

    As for Mugen Souls... I guess I'll put that in my Gamefly Q for good measure. We'll see. Smile

    I guess I'm just too much of a 'traditionalist' when it comes to RPGs, tbh. Perhaps I'm ignorant, though, of a good handful of good ones on the market cuz I honestly can't really afford to buy a lot of games these days. I overdrafted twice within a month or so recently because, after I bought my new $400 computer (huge upgrade over my previous one), my account balance was barely enough to cover my bills cuz apparently I wasn't getting scheduled the hours I should've or usually do, and I'm frantically trying to save up what little I can with my $300-350 every 2 weeks or so from work. So buying expensive PS3 RPGs is out of the question. I can mainly just afford to rent them on sites like Gamefly...

    Is Rune Factory any good?

    ... You DO realize that BlazBlue isn't an RPG... right? It's a fighting game...

    Some one hasn't played Eternal Sonata, Star Ocean the Last Hope, or Valkyria Chronicles~

    Then again, Valkyria is more Tactical RPG then anything.

    Star Ocean is pretty rad. I'd recommend sticking to the Japanese Audio though... Not that in English it's particularly bad, it's just that the lip movements don't match up. Ever.

    Actually, I did mention Star Ocean in a previous thread a few days ago. tongue

    I'm not too sure about Valkyria Chronicles. I saw trailers of it, and the whole "war" feel of it, esp. with the battles, kind of turned me off. Then again, I did enjoy Suikoden, so who knows...

    Eternal Sonata? I might try that again, now that you mention it. I played it for, like, 5 hours but got bored with it the first time, so maybe I should give it another chance.
