[General Discussion] RPG's you are looking forward to the most

When was the announcement made that Tales of Vesperia is coming to the 360? IGN doesn't have any platform info yet. For the moment, it's still up in the air. Could be/more than likely will be cross-platform. Found in a 12/26 Joystiq.com article.

The Tales of Symphonia sequel looks interesting, so I might check that one out. Wonder how they'll operate the controls. Hopefully they'll retain the battle system from Symphonia too, but I wouldn't count on it, since it's on the Wii.

White Knight Chronicles is clearly my pick of the century though. I've been a Level 5 fan since Dark Cloud originally came out, and WKC was ultimately the final push I needed to get my PS3. Very excited about this upcoming RPG from a talented team. Your own customizable character that follows along with the main character? Awesome.

Final Fantasy XIII should probably be a given. Not gonna post much about it, since there's a whole thread dedicated to why this game will rock. Versus XIII falls under the same category.

While I'm on the subject of Final Fantasy, both Dissidia: Final Fantasy and FF7: Crisis Core for the PSP are high up there on my list. Crisis Core's scheduled to release in March, so I'm really stoked about that one.

Too Human is yet another one. Until Mass Effect made an impression on my, Too Human was the only game I wanted a 360 for. Hopefully Silicon Knights will take all this delayed development time to make the game really shine.

Ohhh what else do we have here. Oh yeah, Dragon Quest Swords for the Wii. Looks interesting, I just hope the on-rails hack n' slash gameplay doesn't get old too quickly. Waiting for a little more info at this point though.

Dragon Quest IX has me intrigued, but I'm not real sure about it yet. I'd really rather not buy another system for a single game (lookin' at you, 360 and Wii), especially not if the game I buy the system for turns out to be mediocre at best (lookin' at you, NiGHTS. For shame).

Star Ocean: First Departure and, like Infernal just said, whatever the second one's subtitle is both look like really good PSP RPGs, and since I never really played through the second one, it'll be a great opportunity to play it through. Star Ocean 4's likely some time off in the far-away future, but I'd still like to play it, too.

Other RPGs like Last Remnant and Lost Odyssey are games I'm actually not really looking forward to. Maybe it's a lack of information on them or something, but they just don't strike me as "OMG lolz gots tah buy." Who knows though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I realize that Level 5's doing DQ9, but I still have my doubts. They're also making Professor Layton and it's sequel, both for the DS. Level 5 exudes talent, but I don't know that I'll wanna buy a DS just for DQ9. I've heard that DQ9 has kind of a focus on multiplayer, which is something I'm not too big on quite yet.

I could always change my mind though, we'll see.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hm? I only pointed out that Level 5 made Professor Layton. It hasn't even come out in the US though, so no I haven't played it. Since I said DQ9 was being made by them, I just tossed in Prof. Layton as another one of their games. I don't know whether or not it sucks or it's a "lesser RPG."

And yeah, after they developed Dragon Quest 8, their name should be synonymous with talent. DQ is far more popular than Final Fantasy in Japan, as far as I know.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
