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]

Played it, didn't get along with it that well. Don't forget I had the Wii/360/PS3 combo once :D
It was just odd, but I didnt get much time on it, so who knows? Infact I have a copy still that I can't use seen as the 360 is gone...........
And hopefully this random spout of RPG's (Action or otherwise) will show developers that RPG's do sell in Europe.

lol there will be plenty in time i am sure. Even if they get released on Xbox or Ps3 they normally end up on the other one anyway.
Except lost Odyssey which i think you would love Warhunt, i found it to be probably the best RPG i have played in 3 years or so.

Heard nothing but bad things about Cross. And seriously nothing. (Have not really looked loads but when I have......)
And FF13 is not an Action RPG, but the others don't look too bad. We have to get what we are given on PS3 these days.

Meh, action RPG's, pass.
Missed out Record of Agarest War which is out in October now after being delayed and Cross Edge is scheduled at the start of September though that's out in America and already has a bunch of DLC for it on the American store and if Disgaea is anything to go by then Europe will get the shaft when it comes to that.

I reckon it will be better than 12, but not as good as 10, my initial thoughts. I hope i am wrong lol.
Is there not like 3 FF13 games?? Like Vs or something, i never really got what that was about.
EDIT: Can the topic be renamed "Warhunt & Emmie's RPG chat"

OMG - Shive Eidolon is now two summons. The sisters Nix and Styria :S
In regards to the bad guys:
In a trailer at the DKÓ3173 event in Tokyo in 2008 and E3 2009, two antagonistic characters were featured: a high-ranking female commander with knee-length blond hair and glasses who interrogates the captive Vanille in the trailer, and an intimidating man wearing his hair up in a ponytail, who leads the Cocoon army
Also it appears that Lightning will wield a GunBlade.
And for more info backing up the "no lead char" thing this char:
Oerba Dia Vanille
"In the demo and past trailers, she is the character narrating most of the events"

Cool - thanks mate.
Not yet that I can see. I'll look into it further and get back to you. :D
Yea 12 strayed away from Summoning from what i remember, I think it will be better than 12 (i hope so anyway!)
any word on a vilan (i saw early trailers of someone who had loadsa swords around him - who is he?)

No word yet on the FF13 levelling system. There have been hints at "Linking" the Eidolons to characters (similar to FF8) so maybe a strengthening through partnership style? I'll keep up to date on that.
Eidolons actually play a massive part in the story again, and the greats such as Shiva, Ifrit and Odin return. The Eidolons that have been named also include Carbuncle and Siren so yet more FF8 reference. Who knows? :S
