moycon Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I saw a hands on update on IGN about Eternal Sonata http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/773/773425p1.html and realized there's some kick ass RPGs coming very soon to the 360. This is easily my favorite genre (I blew through Enchanted Arms) and between Blue Dragon, Two Worlds, Mass Effect, Shivering Isles and now Eternal Sonata I honestly don't know how I'm going to get much accomplished in the coming months. Anyone else really looking forward to these titles or a huge fan of the RPG in general? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Anyone else really looking forward to these titles or a huge fan of the RPG in general? Definitely looking forward to Mass Effect, and any Oblivion full expansions. I'm a huge RPG fan, but I hate cartoony Japanese crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenomorpher Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I'm mostly interested in an Oblivion expansion pack or anything similar to Oblivion. I've had this game for so long and I'm still just discovering things. Right now my character contracted the vampire disease so now I have to find the items to cure myself. I haven't gotten Knights of the Nine expansion yet. I think I'm going to go with Shivering Isles. Mass Effect is the only other RPG thats really gotten me excited.

It looks to be right up your ally: http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/815/815215.html Its supposed to come out in a couple months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenomorpher Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Thanks moycon! I never heard of the game until now. From what I read it looks very promising. I'll look into it more when it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I used to love playing RPG's but it seems like I can't find the time to play them anymore I have this nice 360 just sitting around waiting to play one to....maybe I should take a vacation from work and just camp out in my living room for a couple weeks with Elder Scrolls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Anyone else really looking forward to these titles Yep. Eternal Sonata anyway. Blue Dragon doesn't look interesting to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Why can't these RPGs come out in the fall, so we can sit inside during the cold winter months playing them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeGuyWithDSL Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 (edited) Absolutely anticipating Mass Effect, as a self-professed KoToR fanboy. That game and its sequel owned my free time for the better part of a year as I opened every crate, locker, and closet within the game. Maybe OCD is not a good trait for RPG players ... Blue Dragon interests me because of its art style, not so much because of what I know about the game, and Eternal Sonata interests me only slightly as a musician curious to see what nonsense they do with Chopin. I've still got a lifetime of things to do with the original Oblivion content, so Shivering Isles is not really on my radar. Two Worlds is not high on my list either, probably due solely to Mass Effect's squash-all-competitors spot at numero uno.

moycon Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 For those interested I was in Target today and they were selling Final Fantasy XI for $19.99 For that price you get 30 days free. I didnt pick it up because I have way too many games to play before investing time in something like that but I figured it was worth mentioning.

Tempest Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I've got to admit, these RPGs do look interesting. I'm sort of on the edge between the 360 and PS3, but if FF XIII goes to the 360 then I might get one instead of a PS3. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moycon Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Wow RPGs must be selling well on the 360 (Except Two Worlds ). 2008 looks like another big year for RPGs : Action RPGs February 12, 2008 Dark Messiah of Might and Magic Elements May 2008 Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures Q3 2008 Fable 2 Q4 2008 Borderlands TBA 2008 Elveon TBA 2008 Gothic IV TBA 2008 Obsidian RPG Project TBA 2008 Rise of the Argonauts RPGs February 12, 2008 Lost Odyssey March 25, 2008 Spectral Force 3 Q2 2008 Sacred 2 -- Fallen Angel Q2 2008 Two Worlds: The Temptation Q3 2008 Fallout 3 TBA 2008 Cryptic Studios MMO Project [untitled] TBA 2008 Spectral Diario TBA 2008 X Quest The biggest shocker to me. Two Worlds : The Temptation expansion. I mean the sales for that game were dismal, and those that did buy it probably traded it in and the disks are sitting in Gamestops now. I still have my copy though. I kinda liked it. In fact I've been playing it the past couple days trying to snag the last couple achievements. I'll for sure be snagging Lost Odyssey and Fable 2, most of the others I haven't heard much about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't gotten Knights of the Nine expansion yet. I think I'm going to go with Shivering Isles. Mass Effect is the only other RPG thats really gotten me excited. Knights of the Nine is an addon. Granted it is an addon with a good bit of content and it is a good one but it is an addon nonetheless. There are a lot of addons available for Oblivion on Live (and I have them all.) But, Shivering Isles is the only expansion for Oblivion. It is also worth every penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16-bit Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Yea, Two worlds didn't get the best reviews (6.8 IGN). Fable 2 is a definite buy for me. The first was fantastic. Count me in on the Mass Effect wagon too. Still have to pick it up but it looks amazing. Got great reviews too. That and Eternal Sonata... so many games so little time.

cimerians Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 In case anyone cares: I saw Blue Dragon at Target for $29 yesterday. I also downloaded and played DM: M&M elements. (whatever....) Didn't like it that much at all. (I'm too spoiled from last years Oblivion) Fable 2 looks very cool. I'm finishing up Sonata....this one I recommend but to certain people. Its definitely not for everyone, maybe more for the hardcore Japanese RPG fan.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 DM: M&M elements hasn't gotten very good reviews. Apparently they have removed most of the RPG elements. Stupid move. I've seen a few friends playing Lost Odyssey recently. That game interests me. I like the old school turn based RPGs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Another RPG confirmed. Tales of Vesperia: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/854/854144p1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) Another RPG confirmed. Tales of Vesperia: I got all excited there for a second until I found the video clip. Another JRPG game featuring tweens with dinnerplate eyes. Ewwwwww. On another note, it bears repeating that DM: M&M elements does in fact blow dead goats. I picked up Shivering Isles, and it's a hoot so far. That Prince of Madness is a fun guy, and the dungeon where you play DM is hilarious! I just picked up an Elite this week and gave my other 360 to a friend. Had to transfer my HD data without help from MS.

Gabriel Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I snagged Lost Odyssey. My first impression is that it's VERY old-school/traditional. If you want to play a RPG like something from the mid 90s with in game visuals matching the CGI cutscenes of the early 2000s, then this is the one to get. So, it was a pleasant surprise to me. Although, I do prefer the visual design in Enchanted Arms to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karyyk Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I'm a big fan of RPG's, although as I age, I realize that I have less and less time for them. I have been playing Mass Effect and Blue Dragon, and I've definitely got a spot saved for Lost Odyssey, just out of respect for Hinorobu Sakaguchi. It's about time for a classic "final fantasy" to appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Square Enix announced yesterday more RPGs for the 360!!! http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/880/880494p1.html Star Ocean: The Last Hope http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/903/903309/imgs_1.html Infinite Undiscovery http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/821/821710/imgs_1.html The Last Remnant http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/904/904861/imgs_1.html These look great. The complaints from gamers that Xbox is a FPS only system are getting weaker and weaker me thinks. If you're an RPG fan the 360 is the system of choice in my eyes. Also a Tales of Vesperia bundle is being released in Japan (Probably wont be coming to the US though.) http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/142/14225689/imgs_1.html ToV is one I'll be picking up on day one.

NE146 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 (edited) I USED to be a huge RPG fan. However, it all died when Final Fantasy 7 came out.. I really don't know why (I think it was the polygon graphics) but I just sort of burned out on them finally and haven't looked back. Ironically, FF7 was a title that turned on a lot of people to the genre.. but for me it was the end. That being said, a lot of the current ones look appealing to me.. stuff like Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, etc. I think the time is coming when I'll probably try playing one again. But that's the trick isn't it?.. "time" Edited June 10, 2008 by NE146 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Square Enix announced yesterday more RPGs for the 360!!! Ok crikey! More Japanime crap. I thought I made an arrangement with Japanese, they don't buy the Xbox and I won't buy their crappy 'RPGs' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
