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]

Not been on for a couple of days, so here we go;

Gerrid - TOV is in my opinion, miles better than Star Ocean. It has better battle system, characters, plot pretty much everything. I am 10 hours in and still hooked which is great!

Alfonse - plenty of RPG's for the 360, i would say some of the better ones are; Tales of Vesperia, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Star Ocean 4, Eternal Sonata and more. Plus most of them are very cheap, like under £12

Aye i'd agree with ger, awesome game

Anything except Fable II ;D

Lost Odyssey without a shadow of a doubt. Fantastic game, epic, classic old school battle system, extremely well balanced, a nice levelling system and wonderful graphics.

I'm looking to purchase an RPG fr the 360. Any suggestions?

Having finished Star Ocean 4 recently (68 hours :o) I'm thinking about getting Vesperia. SO4 had a great battle system and an incredibly deep item creation system but the characters, story and design were all pretty horrible.

I enjoyed ToSymphonia a lot (apart from the awful overworld map). Vesperia's coming out on the PS3 relatively soon isn't it? With a couple of extra characters I think.

lol - well i dont mean to go on, but it gets better as the game goes on. Really enjoying it, which is good because i needed a good solid RPG to get me back into them.

Damn you Edmmie, derailing. I shall swing by our office soon and warn you :P

Haha It's not strictly PS3 but meh..... It was a *nod* to the state of PS3 RPG's.

And the reason I don't like 360 RPG talk is 'cos it saddens me.

Not ps3 related but thought i would say;

The first few hours of Tales of Vesperia are very good. Graphics are nice, plenty of humour in the text and the battle system is fun!
Looking forward to getting on with it.

Need an RPG thread for Xbox : (

that aside - i only played X-2 for a very short time and can't recall what it was like. FF8 was still a good game aswell
