Tales of Vesperia, Lost Odyssey, Nier, Resonance of Fate, Eternal Sonata, Infinite Undiscovery(If you can get over the whining protagonist), The Last Remnant and finally Enchanted Arms(Voice acting is a bit annoying though, and some people really hated the game for some reason).
I think that's it. I'll come back if I think of any more.

a good console rpg that isn't bioware?!?! I don't thing such a thing exists apart from the fallout series, if you do decide to grow up from a hatred of a company then I recommend dragon age.
Magna Carta II, Two Worlds (haha), Infinite Undiscovery, Blue Dragon, Nier, Last Remnant, Lost Oddyssey, etc... Hope that gives you a few.Uber Waddles said:
also, Fable II?
I'd recommended Tales of Vesperia among all else, it's a great action JRPGS with great characters even if the story does kind of fall apart in the 3rd act. It still has a lot to do and the game play is nearly perfect with the ability to switch play styles if you get bored with one.
Eternal Sonata gets a buy it if it around 20 bucks recommendation.The battle systems solid and everything works though the battle system gets a little stale if you play for longer periods and if you need to go to a previous area you may need to to a shit ton of walking through old areas avoiding weak enemies.
Looking through this thread makes me realize I need to catch up on my JRPGs once I get though my SMT stuff.

Other than the slight fact in which he mentioned he hated Final Fantasy XIII, which people complained about for not sticking to it's Final Fantasy JRPG roots.dathwampeer said:
This arguement is a conflict of interests, however. I consider JRPGs to have evolved as much as any genre, if not more. Arguably, that is because the entire industry is currently stagnating. Everyone is afraid to try anything new, out of fear it will cost them money and bankrupt them.
RPGs I can recommend:
Enchanted Arms isn't a bad game. You can recruit a robot maid with a chain gun!
Lost Odyssey is an AMAZING game. A lot of the stories you unlock have actually brought me to tears. ESPECIALLY "Little Liar"
Fable 2 is really fun, but I can't force myself to replay it. Put simply, once you've done everything, that's it. However, they say you'll be able to use your Fable 2 save for 3...
The LAst Remnant is... Okay. Not too special. Almost comes off, world wise, as an Ivalice Alliance game, but the gameplay is definitely unique. Worth at least renting.
Eternal Sonata was okay, but I couldn't get into it. Made me a big fan of Chopin's music, though.
Haven't tried Tales of Vesperia, and I don't think Two Worlds is really THAT bad. It's a fun little distraction for me, and , truth be told, I'd take it over any Bethesda game, save maybe Daggerfall. It has a lot of great ideas, but a lot of them just aren't executed well.

You hate Bioware yet want a good 360 RPG?
That pretty much leaves you with tales of vesperia, that's about it.

Tales of Vesperia is definitely your best bet. I consider it the best RPG on the 360. Likeable characters, good story and one of the most fantastic battle systems in any RPG really make it shine.
The only two RPG's I've played from the east on my 360 were Vesperia and Eternal Sonata. I hated both for fairly different reasons, but a lot of people loved them. I suppose if you are a JRPG fan they'd be worth your time, though frankly, in good conscience I could not recommend either.
RDR is not a rpg in the sense that has been defined by the genre. Of course, technically it can be said that all games are rpgs, but need we really open that can of worms? Also, Fable 2 is more and adventure game than a rpg. Think Zelda, only less developed, more gimmicky, and far less action/platform oriented.

The fuck do you mean by turntable, turn based combat? I haven't played a J"RPG" with actual turn based combat since FFX. I haven't played anything that resembles an actual RPG since Planescape: Torment either. Turn based is absolutely fine with me since it's the most realistic way of doing combat, pull out all the time spent scrolling through menus and it looks like an actual fight. Unlike say Mass Effect which happens in real time so if you want to use an ability you have to hold down a button then rotate through the menu to find what you want while everything else is still happening around you so something that should only take a second of real time to do takes much longer.dathwampeer said:
