People whine how this gen lacks JRPG's or RPG's. This is not every RPG this gen by any means. This however is some of the best this gen and would be just as worthy as past gens if not more so. (btw as I am typing realize I forgot to put in Fallout 3) This gen may have started and end with FPS Military games being the most popular but fans of RPG's or more so JRPG's this was still a very good generation. Still is. The only tragic thing in this picture is no Final Fantasy as it has fallen far,however the creator of that series had an answer..2 in fact. Lost Odyssey & The Last Story. He even decided to make up for lack of Dragon Quest with Blue Dragon. Ni no Kuni/3D dot game heroes is a nod to the PSone/SNES era and Xenoblade and TLS keep a familiar face while mixing up the formula or just altering it in a total 180.
Anyway it was a very good gen for RPG's and while it may not be as many as PS2/PSone/SNES era the quality is still very much there.
I think the majority of people who'd say that play stuff like Mass Effect 3 or Mugen souls. I think if you want to reach the great RPGs of this gen you need to scratch to get a bit deeper.
They spelled my name wrong and cut out a line about an RPG I'm making in the Indiecade east panels description.
I fully agree. I'm just saying I'm tired of people going on like the JRPG is dead or true RPG's are dead. Ok so Fallout 3 and ME got some hype and are a mix of shooting and RPG. Even Skyrim or Witcher is there or JRPG fans plenty there. Just most might write it off because of the system it's on which is flat out stupid.
Not long ago I was one of them maybe until 2011 or so as in oh this gen sucks cuz it has no rpgzzzzzzzzzz..cuz yea all zem shooterzzzzzz damnz.
Side note got a reply from Xseed
Thank you for the kind words of support, but afraid that we have no plans to localize Earth Seeker.
Wish that I had better news for you, but hopefully us recently announcing Pandora's Tower will help soften the blow a little bit.
