Hi,

I am just wondering in which direction is Square Enix gonna go cause I love Final Fantasy series, Tales series is good too. Initially, I considered the fact that RPG is the more popular genre in Japan and FPS over in US / UK. However, at the current E3, Square Enix (FF series) seems to be going multiplatform, so is Kojima Productions (MGS series) Which of the current consoles offer more titles in terms of RPG gaming?

Discuss.

have you try the last renmant...
argh....
damn good....

Hurm,
This is soo Flame bait.
I have no idea, but 360 got Tales, FF, Star Ocean and some other multiplats.
A lot of RPG collection in 360.
But, considering PS3 are well-known for RPG, theres your answer, PS3.

If you want to play now, 360. If you can wait, either 360 or PS3.

I dont see a reason why people are flaming others just to acknowledge they have the better console. I, for one, could not care less about the consoles.

I'm more towards gaming genre and my taste is RPG.

Which Tales RPG does the xbox 360 has? Interesting!

360 has Tales of Vesperia, and PS3 has the enhanced version of it. Same goes to Eternal Sonata, 360 out first, but PS3 got enhanced version later on. The 360's RPGs future look bleak though.. can't remember any RPG coming out soon. PS3 have quite a few to look forward to, but only White Knight Chronicles and the FF's are better known.

Here we go again
Anyway, currently Microsoft are trying to attract Japanese attention, so expect more JRPG in the future.
Enhanced version or not, it's the same game.

Um, which RPG are you referring to? the Fable kind or Japanese RPG?
If RPG, there's ton of it, Mass-Effect are considered RPG no?

If you bother reading the first post TS was obviously interested in JRPG

a lot of RPGs on PS2. you can never go wrong there.

It sure does As a matter of fact I'm busy looking for the RPGs I missed out on PS2

I'm into the Japanese RPG type. Final Fantasy, Tales series, Star Ocean, Suikoden, Breath of Fire, Disgaea, Front Mission, etc.. Not the english ones.

I play Metal Gear Solid and Grand Theft Auto too. Only these popular games.

I've heard some of the JRPG titles are out only in Xbox, that's tempting and MGS Rising and Star Ocean: Lost / Last Hope also Xbox exclusive. Temptation is strong there. Square Enix's so called betrayal by some people when they announce FFXIII going to Xbox is kinda hinting us gamers that Square is trying to pierce through the AM / EU market of JRPG.

At the same time, am aware that Square Enix will probably lean more towards their homeland, Sony's PS3, therefore may have more title to this console?

By the way, I have Wii. Is the One Piece a good game? Additionally, I had PS2 but I sold it. Didnt manage to finish FFXII, therefore now borrowing friend's PS2 to play.

Anyway MGS Rising isn't exclusive. FFXIV (not traditional RPG either) is PS3 exclusive console wise IIRC. But you are right on SO4, it's exclusive so far.

Sorry, I meant I'm into JRPG.

I know MGS Risiing is not exclusive but so far, Kojima productions had not made anything for Xbox, yes? The sudden move of this year's E3 scares me. I just want to play some game by these great game companies. Hope I make the right choice.

So you have decided to go for a 360? Either way it's a wise choice to compliment your Wii

PS3+X360+Wii, all of them have quite nice number of rpg game

Trust me, whichever console that you end up with, PS3,360 or Wii, it wont disappoint you.

About SquareEnix going multiplatform, only fanboys says it's betrayal. I've read some article at some website;
Following the interview, bla bla bla, going multiplatform , a way of marketing yada² , the way to attract western interest or something like that.

Some quote taken from EGM (issue 210) magazine;



Spread the love man~

The answer is:

nintendo DS

Sorry, dont get you. How will the 360 complement the Wii?
Do share.

Well, yeah it probably wont disappoint me but like everyone else here, I just want to enjoy a genre I like - JRPG.

It's not so much of a betrayal and fanboyism but they probably felt like paying RM200 for the original game for PS3 while you can get the same for 10% of the price in 360. Sakit hati only, they will get over it over time. I hope.

actually they already made MGS2:Substance for XBOX.

Too much focus on innovation for Wii, while 360/PS3 provides bunch of more traditional style games.
