If someone posed the question "Who is the biggest rpg house in japan" who would you say? Probably, Square Enix right? After all they do make final fantasy, dragon quest, and so many other rpg franchises. Now, if someone were to ask, "who is showing the most rpgs at tgs this year", you might be fooled into saying square enix, just based off there past work and the fact that they indeed do work on alot of rpgs. BUT that isnt the case.

The new RPG Sheriff in town, is Namco Bandai.

Lets look at the rpgs they are bringing to TGS that have yet to be released

Tales of Xillia 2 (PS3)
Project X Zone (3DS)
The 2nd Super Robot Taisen OG (PS3)
God Eater 2 (PSP)
Summon Night 3 (PSP)
Summon Night 4 (PSP)
Summon Night 5 (PSP)
Sword Art Online: Infinite Moment (PSP)
Digimon Adventure (PSP)
Time and Eternity: Toki Towa (PS3)
Lost Heroes (PSP, 3DS)
One Piece: Romance Dawn – Adventure at Daybreak (PSP)
Tales of the World: Dice Adventure
Seven Thousand Wars Season II (iOS)
Digimon Crusader (iOS)
Super Robot Taisen Card Chronicle (Mobage)

I count 16 rpgs. You heard that right, 16. And Namco is set to show no less than 5 games brand new at the event. Which could make that count even higher.


Now lets look at the rpgs square ( so far) is bringing to the event that have yet to be released

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy
Final Fantasy III
Emperors SaGa
Dragon quest X U


I count 4...........4........

Namco is bringing no less than 4x the rpg goodness to this event.

I really do think its time to question.

Just who exactly is the biggest rpg house in japan right now?

I actually think its Namco Bandai.

JRPG is dead, its moe blob girls now, and I don't consider Japan only games to be eligible for a list like this. Or IOS crap.

And self fapping, SHAMEFUL STEALTH.
^ I assume your joking because nobody could be so ignorant.


So let me get this straight. A list of games FROM THE JAPANESE TOKYO GAME SHOW

are not eligible for a list of games appearing by these devs at the tokyo game show?
JRPGs will never be dead, people still love playing them.
The thing about Namco Bandai is that I have not seen really too many "good" JRPG titles come from their studios. The only ones that have held any merit are from the Tales series. I read through this list at least 4 times trying to see a notable title that didn't have Tales in front of it and couldn't find one. Super Robot Taisen WAS good, but after the first 2 on the GBA, it went downhill from there. And the One Piece game caught my eye, until I read that it was for the Vita. Square Enix has had a little hiccup with the main FF franchise, but it still belts out quality games in it's other main IP's.
A king is determined by the quality of his rule, not the number of swords he has
^ And Id say namco is bringing more quality jrpgs to tgs easily


its one of the best rpgs lineups in the history of any of these events
nobody owned me. Namco makes awesome rpgs and puts out more quality games than square does these days
"Who is the biggest rpg house in japan"

Judging from the title I thought stealth was pledging to provide ample RPG coverage from TGS but instead I get a short summary of a pissing contest that is of little relevance to westerners. I gots da localization blues :(
@smithy you better savor your account while you have it.


@hyst

in your opinion they might be the best but they arent the biggest

@brown

This isnt about westerners although they always think its always about them.
