kotor series > elder scroll series imo. oblivion po’ed me. every five feet i got someone asking me to help them with some bs task. its freaking hard to focus in that game. i dont mind subquest, i love them actually. but dont give them to me every 5 people i talk to. but technically and gameplay wise oblivion is godly. i just hate the quest system. its way to much and is just a buzzkill for me. still a great game though, im not hating on it, just my honest opinion.

Lucas arts didn’t give obsisian statue the thumbs up to making kotor3 after they done KOTOR2,and is now working on Neverwinter nights 2 and after that they gonna co-work with SEGA to make a new rpg.

Bioware who did the first KOTOR is developing a trilogy for 360 (mass effect) and a epic rpg to PC-Dragon age-

So dont expect a KOTOR3 in any coming year,if not lucas arts themself decie to create it,and they are sucky dev…

ABout blue dragon and lost odyssey.

Final Fanatsy creator Sakaguchi did chrono trigger with Akira,who did Dragonballz anime and co.worked on games like Dragon quest serie.

Both work on Blue-Dragon,and Nobuo who done the music in the FF serie is doing it for BD.

Lost odyssey looks also amazing,and its funb to know christina lorenz also gonna do some art for it.

FOr you people who dont know,he did art in FF9 and movies like FF spirits within,matrix,fifth element and day after tomorrow,so when ex-FF creator,producer,director,story writer,programmer Sakaguchi hire him,you know with that Unreal engine 3.0 that they gonna use in LO will lead to awesome design/graphic enviorments.

Project Gray Company is an EA RPG so I’m sure it will be out in the US. It sort of looks like Oblivion: http://www.ea.com/official/projectgraycompany/

just rememebered that a good example is itagaki and q entertainment. i think doa 4 and n3 are the best selling 360 games over there, i think n3 even almost cracked the top ten. so yeah, its more who made the game then if its an amazing game.

while i wish the 360 much success in japan, the only one of those games that can save it is blue dragon and lost oddysey. its not going to matter if its a good game to the japanese. they have to know the company and the man behind the game. its the same thing as us and steven spielberg or ron howard. the father of final fantasy is making blue dragon and lost oddysey, so if anything sells 360s there itll be that. as far as the western world goes, i hope all of those show up here, i love rpgs, and we all know the 360 has way way way to many shooters out already or coming out.

just to clarify, by turn-based i mean non-real time with multiple controllable characters in battle.

To answer your question, Enchanted Arms is a turn based RPG like FF except its grid based I think and slightly fast paced.

Too Human is an RPG sorta, and its gonna be a blockbuster. Enchanted arms will be a sleeper hit, and blue dragon has a chance to become the next gen FF7 if they don’t make it too childish. All in all, RPG prospects are excellent for 360.

i want to see a quality, turn-based RPG ALA vintage Final Fantasy like numbers 7 and 8. Seriously, the last time i played a game like that was final fantasy 10 and that was when i actually owned a PS2. Xbox360 needs something to that effect…those are the true RPGs that i love. Does anyone know of a game like this coming out for 360?

I’ve had Blue Dragon on my list since before I got a 360. Can’t wait for it.

(pt 2)
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance - I’ve got the first 2. This one is a must have
Mass Effect - It’s Bioware, its a must have. I have all thier games.
BioShock (FPS RPG? Sounds good) - Saw this on G4 E3 and added it to my watch list.
Fable 2 - 1 was a bit light.
Two Worlds - Never heard of it
Elveon - Never heard of it
Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Same as with PSO

Great list.
I’m a huge RPG fan and I used my ps2 for rpgs (Squaresoft mostly) and my xbox for everything else.

It’ll great to add some RPGs to my 360 collection.

Enchanted Arms - Pre-ordered

Lost Oddessy - look grea

Phantasy Star Universe - I already have 2 pay MMO’s and have no desire to add a console one.

Blue Dragon - Looked really out there, not sure. Probably get it used
