Some good news for RPG fans who went with the PS3 like myself.

Dragon Age: Origins released Europe on Oct 23 Info
Its more an action/adventure/RPG of the Fable nature from the looks. But you have multiple playing paths which is always good for playability.

White Knight Chronicles released Nov '09 Q&A
More Final Fantasy style'd then DA:O and apparently with great online capabilites so..... much awaited.

Demon's Souls released Oct 6th Info
More action/RPG again but hey, we can't afford to be picky. Game footage looks ok, and previews seems decent. The online aspect seems good, allowing users to pop in and help youat any time if you wish, but this quote troubles me "but we were told that at a certain point in the game--once you've received a particular stone--you can force your way into another player's game and vice versa."

There is also some more info on.....

Final Fantasy 13!!!! Release Date Early 2010
Seems to have a lot more information than when I last looked on the Wiki Page


UPDATE 20/08
Here
A new Tri-Ace game, for PS3! Fans of Lost Odyssey rejoice!

Couple of interesting point here too [LINKhttp://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q2-2009/042209a.html]Linky[/LINK]

You have to have Yulie and Leonard in your party for a few boss fights, the others are never needed (technically).

So i went with these. And it's much better to buff up passive stats rather than unlocking skills at the start. I got Len into the axe tree to learn all the HP and Str ups. When you transform into the knight it one hits the bosses :S

Oh so the Axe tree is where all that stuff is, i am only at the start and got Longswords on Len and my character. but about to go to the shops and stock up.

Does your avatar character stay about most the time, might throw him in and make him nice and strong, then when i go Online he will be useful!!

That's pretty much the only option mate. Unless you want to go online with a weak "as" character.

Axe tree is where STR and HP is. Each tree and weapon has it's own "stats". Magic uses 100% INT, whereas Spears get their power from 30% STR, 40% VIT and 30% HP (I'm not 100% on the HP), like that.

So each tree has 2/3 "Up" paths. In shortswords it's AGIL and DEX as swords use 50% STR, 50% AGIL etc.

I got the str and tehn went into spears with leonard, and will get HP as I go.

Also by the way, something the game does not explain. You have two types of "speeds".

One is the time it takes for the circle to fill up, the other is the time it takes from you hitting X to when the avatar actually hits the enemy, does whatever.

These are effected by armor and weapon type used. Armor comes in cloth, ligh and heavy (although how you determine this I don't know). Cloth seems to always have RES+ on it....??

Fastest weapon is bare handed, and heaviest is staff/spear.

How it works out the speed I don't yet know.

[i]So basically, have your "Tank" wear heavy armour, everyone who is doing damage give lighter armor

I guess since it has dropped to this price it will be back down again, it is a fantastic RPG and worth picking up when you have time.

I played the demo and didn't really think it was much different to Star ocean. Let's hope it is...

The demo does not do it jusice, i was not over impressed with it, and when i finally got it and started playing i was so thankful i had actually bothered to get it.

Star Ocean (from what i played) was a 7/10, ToV was a 9, maybe a 10/10
