Poll: Xbox 360 JRPGs - Second Coming...

[TheEarlOfGrey]

Two years ago the Xbox 360 had a large wave of JRPGs hit the shelves, beginning with Lost Oddessy and Blue Dragon, and ending with Tales of Vesparia.

Well after looking around the previews it would appear the second wave is coming, starting with Magna Carta 2, and with Final Fantasy XIII soon, the JRPG frenzy will begin again. So, looking forward to the next wave of 360 JRPGs, or has the West secured its place as the Microsoft's resident time sink with Mass Effect and Borderlands?

EDIT: Just had a thought: quick references -


Magna Carta 2 (out now)
Made by Banpresto

Final Fantasy XII (out next week, already in JPN)
Made by Square-Enix

Nier [TBC 2010]
Made by Cavia/Square-Enix
Not much known about it as of now.

Resonance of Fate [TBC 2010]
Made by tri-Ace/SEGA
Based completely around gun-play in industrial setting

Well I use a PS3, but I'm really looking forward to FFXIII

 

[TPiddy]

I'll check out Nier, maybe Two Worlds II.... what? I liked the first one... don't look at me like that...



I hate you all...

Off topic slightly, have you played White Knight Chronicles?

No, it never really looked like anything special to me, and when I saw the average to poor reviews it got it didn't exactly make me want to play more.

 

[MellowFellow]

I haven't heard of most of them other than final fantasy, I think I will look them up.
I really liked Tales of Vesperia though.

Its a shame because it had promise and then splat...I mean what happened?

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Resonance is going to disappear under FF13's shadow. But I want both.

 

[Ultress]

I'm going go with FFXIII as I don't have to pay for it and FF hasn't disappointed me yet.


On a side note is Resonance of Fate the new Tri-ace game?

Yes indeed it is. Looks alright to me.

 

[Souplex]

None, when it comes to JRPGS, I only play strategy RPGs, sidescrollers with RPG elements, and the Mario ones. When it comes to western, I play action RPGs and straight up RPGs.
That is a lot of cleavage on the Magna Carta 2 cover.

It seemed interesting enough but I haven't been paying attention to it that much, If I get it, I want to go in blind like I'm doing for FFXIII.

Isn't Magna Carta 2 the only exclusive and meant to be average. 360 won't ever be a JRPG console, they just don't sell well
