Man, if Xbox gets good JRPGs that will put another dent into Sony's marketshare.

what does the J in JRPG stand for? This game reminds me of 99 Nights.

Lost Odyssey looks tight.

 

[imported_Rat]

Does it feature real-time weapon change?

Japanese

Lost Odyssey

Trusty Bell

Blue Dragon


All are looking good on the JRPG front. Blue Dragon is supposed to be offered as part of a bundle for Japan.

Yawn. I haven't played a JRPG (that's what they're called now? In order to be fun they have to have huge eyes and stuff?) since FF7.

 

[michaels]

I don't like them either but MS needs them to make strides in Japan.

Plus, there are a lot of Americans who think that JRPG = RPG (although MMO's are changing that).

 

[uhohs]

they need date simulators and other weird stuff to succeed in japan. :Q

I personally prefer rpgs like Oblivion, that was actually my first rpg purchase.

Have you played KOTOR or KOTOR2 or Jade Empire?

 

[michaels]

I rented KOTOR, it was pretty good.

Does JRPG refer to RPGs in the Japanese language or RPGs in the Japenese style?

FF7 > ALL

I'd say Enchanted Arms is a good jrpg. I got it last night and proceeded to play for a good 4 hours before going to sleep.

 

[PricklyPete]

I could care less about JRPG...but it is nice to see MS put all the effort they do into attracting the Japanesse audience.

Where did someone say "do you like FF7" or "What is your favorite RPG" in this thread? What was the point of your post?

What is the point of this post?

Sigh.
