Normally, I probalby would've argued with you over such a claim... But god dammit, you're right. ;_;

I'm just looking forward to a few.
FFXII - I DID like the demo, and look forward to another great story.
Rogue Galaxy - simply due to the premise, and the fact that Level 5 made it.
I don't want to hear comparisons to RPGS, I want to know how it compares to Dark Cloud 2? I LOVED DC2.
Xenosaga III - I never played II, due to so much bad press, but I really liked I. Hopefully III will be  a return to goodness.
Tales of the Abyss - If it's anything like TOS, I'm there.
PSU - only if the single player is good. I don't do the online thing.
Then theres Zelda, of course.

So wait has Ar Tonelico been confirmed for a NA Release?   And for this year?   Isn't it like a singing game?   I didnt think anyone would take a chance bringing it over here just because of its premise.  But if it is coming out over here definately put it on my list of anticipated.  From the screenshots on the main page it looks great.

O and it does look like most of the psp rpgs come out pretty soon and not fall.  I will be busy playing Legend of heroes II, Valkyrie Profile Lenneth, and Blade Dancer through august, when Disgaea II hits.  If Disgaea II is anything like the first it should keep me busy until the others start rolling in.

That should answer your question in regard to Ar Tonelico. The Japanese subtitle is Sekai no Owari de Utaitsuzukeru Shoujo (The Girl who keeps singing at the end of the world) is obviously related to music, but I'm not aware that it would play any role in terms of gameplay. It has more to do with the game's story.

Xenosaga III - I loved the first two, and I'm totally psyched for those 8 hours of cinemas (or whatever you want to call them).
Rogue Galaxy - As many others have said, Level 5 is making this, and I have a lot of faith in their ability to make kick ass games.
Final Fantasy XII - I liked the demo, but even if I didn't, this is a no-brainer for me. I've pretty much loved all of the Final Fantasies that I've played through, and have been craving this installment since it was announced.
Disgaea 2 - The sequel to my favorite NIS game? Winner.
Valkyrie Profile Silmeria - You guys have gotten me hyped for this one :P
Children of Mana - I've been needing a DS RPG lately. Hell, I've been needing a DS game that doesn't have anything to do with Mario characters. Plus, everyone that I've talked to is getting it also, so the whole multiplayer aspect is very, very intriguing.

That's about it I guess. Hopefully the release dates of the games I've listed are far apart, since I'm pretty much flat broke...
