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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I cannot have NDS because I have PSP. Dont wanna get another handheld console for gaming. Even for PSP, I seldom play - kinda feel I wasted money there.

Square Enix just announced FFXIII and FFXIV for PS3 (and other consoles too).

Problem is I dont see too many JRPG in PS3 now. Still contemplating, especially the games are all original, thus expensive.

Yea, it's not like I'd run out and get a PS3 immediately. I am looking at something around Christmas but at the same time, I noticed that PS3's console is always minusing off this and that, example last time it supported PS2 games and now not. It used to have more USB ports but now less. That sort of thing.

It's ok to go with 3 consoles. I already own a Wii which I bought in Feb 09. 360 for the consoles and games are cheaps. PS3 for exclusive titles only. For games like Fallout 3, available on PC, I wont even dream getting the PS3 version.

All in all, budget is indeed a constraint but I am trying to limit my scope to the games that will be available. All is good if only I know where Square Enix is headed.

I am not rushing ,therefore, I'm not going with the current titles - nothing interest me but the fact that PS3 is Blu-Ray and 360 is DVD makes me lean towards PS3 more and at the moment, that is the ONLY reason.

Speaking on which, HD-DVd lost the media battle, so does MS have any plans moving 360 to Blu-Ray tech? I thought I heard that rumor once many months back but no concrete facts. Anyone here might know?

Thanks for sharing, guys.
