@Zolbrod ... yeah, cool. I heard of those games, but they are on handheld systems, correct? I have 2 or 3 Legend of Heroes games, but my problem is, JRPGs on handhelds do me little good, because I very rarely play handheld games. I never play on the road, and I can hardly see them without reading glasses. I have do own some handhelds, but I don't really care for hendheld games. I barely touched my PSP or Nintendo DS, or Gameboys, so I wont get a Vita for that reason. I have a massive game collection, on home consoles anyhow. Thanks for the info anyhow. :)

I already left a comment, but I need to clarify a couple things. In all honesty, Final Fantasy XIII was the ONLY FF game in the series I couldn't stand and didn't finish.

It wasn't the linearity either.

The plot was convoluted. The characters were cardboard and nearly emotionless. I loved the older FF games with Sakaguchi. IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, and X were all welcome. Everything after X lost it, and that includes X-2.

I agree with magusat999 . One of the problems is, that when the master Sakaguchi left Square, Kitase from the FF Tactics team took over the series. He knows not, and is no adept at creating RPGs.

The only Final Fantasy I look forward to is Versus XIII. That looks promising, with the Kingdom Hearts man, Tetsuya Nomura involved. :)

And I'll never bother with XIII-2, since I brought XIII back to the used bin, and don't know or care how the story ends. Never thought I'd ever bring back a Final Fantasy game, but XIII made me do it.

Bring on the real JRPGs: The Last Story. Xenoblade. Pandora's Tower.

@DarkMage ... I agree 100%. I love FF VII. Really liked VIII too. Aside from those two, I liked FF V, VI, and X. Anything after X ~ "BLAH!"

Thankfully, this year I am getting my JRPG fix, since there was an absence of that genre in 2011!!! I'm so glad to be seeing the promotion of this masterpiece of a game ... and thankfully, they are doing the same for Tales of Graces F. Welcome back Xeno series!!! Now, if The Last Story and Pandora's Tower get this same promotion here if they make it to North America, glory will be realized.

Final Fantasy 13 was the first and only Final Fantasy game that I didn't finish ... or feel the need to, even. I still have the save file from over a year ago, but I'll probably never get back to finishing it. I'm hoping XIII-2 is better, but without Hinronabu Sakaguchi, F.F. lost its "feel." I mean, c'mon. F.F.7 is what got me into JRPGs to begin with. Don't lose it Square.

@chrono ... yes, I agree. I want Tales of Xillia and Tales of Rebirth, too. Rebirth might not happen, but if Graces does well, PS3 will bring over Xillia.

Tales of Graces F coming to USA shores is the best gaming news I've had in over a year. Since Wii or 360 never brings any good JRPGs over, I am once again leaning toward Sony. Now I can only hope they bring Tales of Xillia over to the USA, as well.
