They'll be here soon. =)
Folklore is pretty good! Enchanted Arms isn't TOO bad. Just play it dubbed so the voice acting isn't so bad. I usually see it for $20 which I think is about right. Fallout 3 soon, but I think you have to wait till next year for anything unique.
RPGs are always the last genre to arrive on a new console, unfortunately, but I'm sure there's some good stuff on the way. Square-Enix has big plans, obviously, and Fallout 3 is coming along as well.
You should definitely try Folklore in the mean time. It's an action RPG, it lacks an experience system, aside from leveling up the various abilities you can collect, but the gameplay and combat are great fun. It also looks incredible (great art style), has impressive sound and music, and has a pretty interesting story.

Disgaea 3 is coming out in August. That's a JSRPG (emphasis on the strategy, I guess), but that'll be a huge release for a certain crowd. Eternal Sonata and Fallout 3 should also be coming out by the end of the year.
Enchanted Arms might be worth a go, although I've heard that it's worse on the PS3 than the 360 (which is saying something). Folklore is more of an action game, honestly.
If you've got a PS3 with BC, there are a wealth of RPGs for that, many of them quite excellent. *points to Persona 3 FES*

Disgaea 3 is worth looking forward to if you liked Final Fantasy Tactics' gameplay style. If you're unsure of liking this genre, gamefly Disgaea 1 or 2 for PS2.
As already mentioned, Fallout 3. FF13 should be coming out in December. both versus and regular.

What ever happened to the last remnant? I remember seeing a trailer a long, long time ago and have not heard of anything sense.
I'll believe it when I see it. Release dates that are more than a month out are generally wild guesses. Personally, I think it'll be more like Q3 or Q4 of 2009.
Another one that hasn't been mentioned is Valkyria Chronicles. Again, that's a JSRPG, but seems pretty promising. Release date is Q3, so sometime in the next few months.
Unfortunately, there's like a zero percent chance of seeing Persona 4 outside of Japan this year - it's taken Atlus a good year to translate all of the other entries. Bleh.
I saw that at Futureshop and they want $59.99. Is that an RPG? I thought it was more of an action/adventure game. Looks like it uses cutesy anime type characters. I should have said I am not interested in any RPGs with Japanese style anime characters. Fallout3 I will buy for the PC because it will probably have loads of mods made for it.
They're on the 360.Seriously though...Lost Odyssey rocks but I'm sure the PS3 will be getting the latest Final Fantasy soon..
And if it wasn't for BluRay winning over HD I would still have a 360. I use my console for both movie watching and games so traded my 360 to a friend for his PS3. PS3 is much better for movie watching too because it is quiet compared to the noisy 360.
Maybe I should go buy a PS2 as my PS3 is 40GB model so no BC. They are cheap enough and lots of good RPGs for it but how will that look on my 62" HDTV screen?
Do PS2 games have 16:9 ratio support or only 4:3? Never did buy a PS2 and the 360/PS3 are my first console purchases since the Sega Genesis days so I don't know what its capabilities are.

Most PS2 games only support 4:3, but a handful (mostly the newer games) do support widescreen.
Folklore assuming your talking about: ya i guess it's more action/adventure in genre like zelda would be. But the cutesy anime type, at least to me, don't feel like the usual stuff. It was more, I dunno....twisted like?
OK, I guess 4:3 is ok as my screen is plenty big enough for that ratio too. What's the best RPGs to get for the PS2? No anime please and I like deep RPGs with wide open areas if possible. They have any turned based combat ones for the PS2 that are good?
The real issue isn't aspect ratio - it's the fact that they're 480i games that are getting blown up pretty huge. The PS3 does a surprisingly excellent job of upscaling these games - I don't know how your TV will do.
As for "what games", I wouldn't even know where to start. Maybe FF12, Rogue Galaxy, and Odin Sphere?
Suikoden VI !!!!!
Konami isn't really saying a lot about it, but I think its in the works and its the RPG I am most looking forward to playing if it does eventually come out.
People speculated that it might be on the X360 but seeing as Suikodens largest following is in Japan I can't see that happening. Most likely exclusive to PS3 and possibly a different version for the Wii
hahaha

I have both.. sadly picked up lost odyssee right before gta IV. Been ignoring lost odysse.
GTAIV is an RPG of sorts so at least PS3 has that. I keep seeing people say "coming from Japan". Do they even make RPGs without cutesy anime characters? I lke my RPGs to look mean and not like I am playing a game for a 6 year old. Think, The Witcher.
My HDTV is actually an LCD HD projector. 480i TV is passable on it but no where near as good as HD content looks of course.

Eternal Sonata is being ported over with extras to the PS3.
Keep telling yourself that Blue Dragon is actually good and Mass Effect isn't bug-ridden and half-assed; best played on the upcoming PC version.
Next you'll be listing Two Worlds and Fable lolol.
All the Xbox really has left is Lost Odyssey, which is definitely not without its flaws.
The sad truth is the RPG market for all systems aside from PSP and DS is incredibly bad at the moment. If you put all the offerings of both the PS3 and 360 together, you equal about 20% of what you could get on either of the handhelds.
There's a few titles coming that show a lot of promise. There's Valkyrie Chronicles, the two FF's of course, Disgaea 3, White Knight Story, the next Shin Megami Tensei, and Cross Edge for the PS3.
For the 360 you have Too Human, Magna Carta 2, Infinite Undiscovery, Cry On (Mistwalker, i.e. Squaresoft for the iconoclasts who don't realize that Sakaguchi produces the exact same story/gameplay/everything under a new company).
There's a few cross platform titles coming out like Fallout 3 and the new LOTR console RPG.
Put all of those together and you'll have a list about a third as long as the Nintendo DS RPG release list this year.

So you like your RPGs to look like it's designed for a middleschooler (a.k.a. the Todd McFarlane syndrome) instead? All I can imagine the Witcher and a lot of other N. American RPGs are adolescents talking about how "dark" and "badass" it is in the cafeteria.
There is nothing wrong with him not liking the anime kid friendly style. I like it sometimes, I sometimes just hate it. I love the Witcher, D&D based games, Fallout type games usually more than jrpgs. But I really do love jrpgs and can understand why people can't like those either.
And Blue Dragon was a good game. Irony in your post talking about him not liking kid centric heroes and then you saying Blue Dragon isn't good
Eternal Sonata was beautiful yet annoying and a dumb game on the flip side
Well, that's better than sticking a Hello Kitty sticker on the side of your pink lunch box.

I'm not even sure that's happening any more. Seems to have been on hold for a very long time and all we ever got was a confirmation of a Japanese release.
Which annoys me because I didn't pick this up for the 360 because I thought I might as well get it for the PS3. Something I plan on rectifying pretty soon.
I'm in the same boat. Still, I think it'll see an American release, if only because all the translations are already done. (Then again, that didn't happen with FFX International or the FF12:IZJS release. I'm still pissed off about that.)
"Final Fantasy XIII" is being done by the Final Fantasy X team, and "Final Fantasy Versus XIII" is being done by the Kingdom Hearts team.

Well I guess I'm kind of glad that I still haven't bought a PS3 yet. None of the great RPGs are out but then again BC is dead in the newer models. :-\
I guess I'll just need to find a really good deal on a 20/60GB version someday in the future.

Better question is where are RPGs for both next-gens?
There's like Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey and a few less know things
But there are dozens of them on DS/PSP getting released
and comparision to Xbox/PS2 library of RPGs is making it look ever more pathetic.
Hell I was going to buy next-gen a month ago but decided it's pointless due to lack of such games especially when ME is coming to PC.

Indeed. It seems like the majority of games coming out are FPS. Even then, Mass Effect is FPS gameplay with RPG elements.

For JRPGs it has a lot to do with the fact that the 360 is dead in Japan and the PS3 is just about flatlining there. The DS and PS2 are of course very popular in Japan which is why they get good support for this type of game.
The Wii surprised everyone so while it's going to get a bunch of JRPGs, it's going to take a while.
PSP/DS have been around a lot longer and development isn't as long. Besides all the big names seem to be reproductions of old games (final fantasy 1, 2, 3 and so on)
There are lots of rpgs coming for consoles (White Knight, Final Fantasy, Infinate undiscovery, last Remant, Fallout 3, Fable 2, Too Human, Valkaria Chronicles) And those are the big named ones.
Already out Oblivion, Mass Effect, Enchanted Arms, Eternal Sonata, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Folklore, Puzzle Quest, Marvel Ultimate Alliance.
I don't know. Seems like a pretty decent amount and all pretty good.

What's wrong with the sound? (I haven't played it yet, but I haven't seen anything mentioned in the reviews about it)
Well it's pretty of course. Had potential because the plot sounded interesting. But the whole Chopin on his deathbed thing was hardly fleshed out. It's almost like it's mentioned in the beginning and then at the end as a "OH YEA btw. I'm dying!"
Music top notch. The voice overs aren't too bad, but what they say is SO cheesy.
No, it's not. Seriously, have you even played the game? It has a third-person camera! The RPG portions of it are huge!
As for the DS and PSP getting the nice RPGs these days - no surprise. They've been out longer, and the development costs are lower.
Anyways... the next big "exclusive" PS3 RPG releases for the USA are going to be Valkyria Chronicles and Disgaea 3. We should see the new stuff from Square Enix in 2009. Fallout 3 and Eternal Sonata should also hopefully be out by the end of the year.
Hold tight... Rome wasn't built in a day, and the PS2 only really got its glut of amazing RPGs in the second half of its life.
