There have been many great Role-Playing Games that have graced Sony’s hardware over the years, and sadly, some of these have hit like a storm and then disappeared. With some RPG momentum finally picking up on the PS3, now is a good time for some series to make their return to Sony’s platform.

This game is coming out for the PSP, but honestly it should be hitting the PS3 as well."
Yup.
If Sony wants to promote the PSP, by all means allow the development of a spin-off/transitional game, but the series proper, including the fully-fledged sequel should remain on the entertainment medium that the original was conceived.
The first game didn't sale that well and this type of game sells the best in japan where portables are popular and the psp has almost three times the install base of the ps3. Even if you want to talk about overall install base the psp is 55+ million and the ps3 is 35 million which is a 20 millon lead.
Look at metal gear solid peace walker (aka metal gear solid 5 according to kojima) in japan it sold more in its debut than metal gear solid 4 so plenty of people are willing to play sequels on a portable.
The PSP PWNs in Japan which is where JRPGs live or die. Since everyone owns a PSP and spends half there life on mass transit or in itty bitty apartments a portable version makes insane amounts of sense. Just not to an American.
The PSP install base is bigger than the PS3 install base there, IIRC.
There might not be enough content in this VC2, to warrant a PS3 sequel just yet. Hopefully if they do a 3rd that will jump back to the PS3.
- Mass Effect 1-3
- The Witcher 2
- Elder Scrolls VI
Not to say that some of those aren't desired... but only two of those would be in my top 5 right now. PS3 really is lacking in WRPGs, IMHO, compared to other RPGs.
WRPG on the PS3 right now:
Oblivion
Fallout 3
Dragon Age
Dragon Age: Awakening
Upcoming WRPGs:
Alpha Protocol
Fallout: New Vegas
How is my want/concern for the overall lack of WRPGs BS considering how many more JRPGs I can list? Unless by BS you mean my opinion... which seems right now to be attached to JRPGs around here for the most part.
Western RPGs always suck on consoles anyways.
Mass effect 1/2? Way better on PC.
Dragon Age? It's Garbage on consoles.
The Witcher? PC game.
Elder Scrolls? Oblivion sucked in general(Open world is just the same few tiles repeated, Lvling system was broken, ect), it was only good if you modded it... on PC.
PS is known for it's JRPGs, not it's WRPGs, that's always been a PC thing.
Just upgrade your PC, or buy a new one. Remember it's much cheaper to make your own and not buy a pre-built one.
I own a nice PC and I play RPGs on it.
I own dragon age and ME for the console. And, yeah, they're not as nice looking, but the storylines are just as good and I'd rather play from my couch with a controller than in my office chair with a keyboard and mouse. And, yeah, I know I can hook my PC up to my TV, try getting that past my wife, though.
As far as PC being better, at least graphically? That's true of all games, but I don't see people telling me to get a PC when it comes to other genres of games. So, don't think that makes for a very good reason to not want WRPGs on the console.
Don't see the issue with the want for more and better WRPGs on my console in addition to JRPGs.
Also i really hope we see ALOT more RPGs(both W and J) revealed this year, they don't have to release this year, i just want to know that the games are actually being worked on, as a gamer who prefers RPGs i feel like i've been given the finger this gen concerning console RPGs.
I thought that it was a platformer.
It's not like the Xbox360 where.. dreams come true.
Nice to see The Legend of Dragoon 2 on the wish list :) shame it's been so long since the first
love for a new Breath of Fire for ps3
Dragonball Z SuperSaiyan Dentsetsu or whatever way its written that was on the snes xD
and Breath of Fire 2!
(final fantasy 7 remake now, dont let the series die without a proper redemption SE =/ )
How can people forget about Xenogears?! Its one of the best JRPGs up there with Chrono Trigger.
Surely I'm not the only one that wants these to make the jump?
Bring on Elite 4!
The team has been releasing persona non stop , and megaten 4 is long overdue .Plus it would give enough time to properly polish and change p5 , instead of just porting the p3-4 system on next gen engines
I would also like to see mega man legends and parasite eve 3.
And looking at Xenoblade, as a PS3-only owner I find myself both jealous and confused that a JRPG of that suggested immersion hasn't been made on a HD console. Be it the PS3 or 360.
And FFXIII, I'm looking at you!

You know what I also miss? Grandia and Skys of Arcadia. Wouldn't it be grand to have those on the current gen? I think it would!
and has one of the best RPG battle systems of all time
A perfect list if ever there was one.
... and that's only because if the endboss of the game is anything like the one in the 2nd game...
TO HELL WITH DARK CLOUD 3.
Brave Fencer Musashi 2 (kinda, a GOOD sequel that is)
Legend of Dragoon 2
Rogue Galaxy 2
Breath of Fire 6
*and F**K yes to the guy above me Skies of Arcadia 2
I would love a xenogear remake also only on one condition though
Monolith soft buys the rights to it and square produce it. Reason being
is because the creators of xenogears quit afterward to start monolith soft
to make it to the US for ps3.
I can only speak for myself but I want SHENMUE for the Ps3. OMG, as great a game as it was on dreamcast. It wold be a killer on ps3 (if your in to self developed RPG/Action/Adventures game).
