Out of the 18 titles ,Breath of Fire 5 cut my attention the most.
Suikoden and Dark Cloud look like nice and very promising games also.
Don't hold your breath on Grandia X, this game isn't half-way what Grandia 2 was.

Yeah, I am looking forward to Wild Arms 3 ( the japanese version is visually stunning) and, of course, Growlanser and Xenosaga. This will keep me busy for a while...

I wouldn't call the Growlanser series RPGs.. more SLGs. If its the Houshinengi that I'm thinking of, where its basically Shin Sangomusou with Houshinengi characters, I wouldn't call that an RPG either.. and Sangokushi Senki & the actual Sangokushi series are pure strategy.

top 5 for me....=)
1. Xenosaga
2. Kingdom Hearts
3. Wild Arms 3
4. Dark Cloud 2
5. Final Fantasy XI
-FFXI was first in the list, but after the release of the game in japan and the problems, i got kinda dissapointed..but i hope it gets better when they release it here..=)

FFXI interests me, but this is Square's last chance to excite me about the eternal FF series unless I see something better from them.

I sincerely believe that Square made a mistake... at least they shouldn't have given the Final Fantasy title.

yeah, they shouldve gave FFXI another name..this title is making square look bad.. at first i thought this game will rock. but im having a second thought bout that...=)

I'm looking foward for most of these titles!I love rpg games!!!
Must have for me is :
-XENOSAGA!!
-KINDGDOM HEARTS!!
-.HACK!!
-BREATH OF FIRE V
I think someone said that a new Lunar will be out on the ps2 but i'm not sure where i read it!
I'm also having doubts about FFXI simply because the game doesn't have something that catches my attention!But perhaps i'm jumping to conclusions to fast!!:(

PS2? I think you mean the RPGstation.

I'm personally looking forword to XenoSaga right now. I'm not quite sure what to think about Kingdom Hearts yet, but it looks interesting.
Well KH is cool i saw some arts and i also saw like a trailer on the dvd wich came with FFX INT and i was blown away by this game!It will be a great game!I got good faith in that game!!:D

That game is so close to Cel-Shaded graphics. It has a great Cartoonish look.

Famitsu mentioned Final Fantasy XI is probably the most complete and feature-filled online RPG of all, even surpassing most PC online RPGs; and the entire Final Fantasy series so to speak!! They said the game could last 5 full years, due to the huge amount of side quests, tasks, and things you can do in the game. So Final Fantasy XI is a long term investment for Square, imagine people stick with this game for 5 years!
