If you like Japanese RPGs buy a PS 2. I have a lot of insider knowledge on the industry and I can tell you the Xbox is making Japanese style RPGs. I like the looks of True Fantasy too, but the main bulk of the big time RPGs for the Xbox will be American/Euro style like KOTOR, Sea Dogs 2, Fable, Biowares secreat project etc etc.

This is off the top of my head, so I'll probably be missing some.

Released:
Morrowind
Baldurs Gate: DA

Upcoming Single player (that I think will be worth buying):
Star Wars: KOTOR
Fable

Upcoming MMORPG (using XBL obviously):
Star Wars Galaxies
Phantasy Star Online I & II
True Fantasy Online

Now I know there are many more, but these are the ones that will definitely be worth checking out.

Fable just by itself is one reason I love my Xbox so much. I think this game will blow away all other RPG's out of the water.

I know there is Sudeki which is made by Climax U.K. That is a game I'm looking forward to. There is a chance Xbox could have the next Shining Force. I would love to have that though.;) I wanted to become a developer but it was too difficult. I wanted to design an RPG for Xbox only.;)

Not much! But, just to clarify what you said.. it is a single-player game where you control a party that ranges from 2 to 4 people depending where you are in the story. Sorta like FF7.

Sudeki is Real time not turn-based!

Yup, take a look at this thread.. I talk about the fighting of Sudeki in one of my posts. I dl'ed off the net, around 3-4 months ago, a 100 meg vid of early gameplay footage and it looks insane!!

When I referred to FF7, I was talking about the party members not the fighting system... sorry for the confusion, if any

I think Sony made Everquest, which would mean probably not...

And BigWig, I don't really consider Shenmue II to be an RPG. Don't get me wrong, its a fun game.... but just not an RPG.

Why is Shenmue not an RPG? There is as much or more roleplaying in Shenmue as any other story based linear RPG.

Shenmue II is as much of an RPG as Final Fnatasy games are...in other words, its not.


and Sony did not make evercrack...but the company that did is making a star wars rpg for the xbox...

whats a F.R.E.E?

to be consistant its not just FF. Some of the RPGs I like have less roleplaying then Shenmue too. The Icewindale series has some sick character creations that I love but its very story based and linear too.
