Restricting myself to only listing games I thought of when I bought my PS3  (and not newly announced titles or hopefully inevitable titles that haven't even been fully rumored yet, like a new Suikoden/SMT or Zone of the Enders 3 or a next-gen Wild Arms), I already got one for FFXIII, VS XIII and Level 5's White Knight Story as far as early RPGs go.  Plus MGS4, the new Naughty Dog title, Heavenly Sword, whatever the ICO/Colossus team puts out, and the now multiconsole DMC4 (I'll keep my obvious feelings about that out of here since it doesn't belong since it's not an RPG) and the already multiconsole Assassin's Creed.

Other than perhaps Blue Dragon and to a lesser extent Eternal Sonata (I'd totally buy it but it's not a system seller for me) there is absolutely nothing that I can't live without on the 360 (I find the drab too-realistic  look of Lost Oddysey exactly what I don't like about many 360 titles and many games in general and I hate FPS games) and I don't play the types of games the Wii is offering (other than Zelda:TP which I have for GC).

That's already a 9:3/9:4 and 9:0 ratio off the top of my head, more than enough to justify spending extra on what I really want at any of these prices.

Since the FF games rarely have anything to do with each other other than FFX and FFX-2 and the Compilation of FFVII stuff (even XIII and VS XIII don't even feature the same characters), I really don't mind as long as each title gets enough development attention and individuality and that they aren't thrown together.

I also get a little weary of the complaining about Nomura.  Yes, we've had Nomura's character designs for a while but honestly his character designs are usually pretty good so I think that's a good thing and it's up to the writers to make the characters less emo not the character designer.  Lightening looks awesome and bad ass but if they make her whiny or too sensitive/touchy that's not Nomura's fault.  All I hope is that the clothing styles are more reserved with no midrifs and shirtless fighters etc. especially since XIII is supposed to have the most high tech scifi futuristic setting we've seen yet.
