If Tales of Hearts doesnt come out, i'll just import it, but I'm pretty sure Valkyrie Profile: Accused One will come state side, it looks pretty good, while I wasn't a huge fan of Valkyrie Profile 2, I bet this make up for it. :P (I hope...)

Valkyrie Profile: The Accused One looks to be a tactical RPG judging from that last screenshot. Anyone know if it is? Or isn't?

That's what I get from it too, but no english info is out..

These all look pretty good, but I get the feeling it'll be like all the other RPG's on my DS. Get interested, buy them, play for an hour and never touch them again because they're generic/dull/uninspired.

The only RPG's for DS I've actually finished are FFIII and Mario & Luigi which I both really enjoyed. I'd already finished FFIII on a NES emulator though and M&L is really short. If Rocket Slime counts as an RPG I really liked that too.

The rest I really couldn't care about. Etrian Oddysey does look interesting but it's actually different. I can't see anything about these games that really stand out at all apart from different coats of paint. I haven't finished an JRPG for ages and I don't think it's that I don't like them anymore, I just think I'm sick of generic shit and I want to see something interesting. Or at least a good story. As soon as game makers start developing for DS the story becomes a huge tacked on afterthought which isn't at all satisfying or interesting (bar the few adventure games which are actually good).

These all look pretty bad honestly. I did play soma bringer though (in jap) and almost beat it. It is actually pretty fun at first but ends up getting really boring. It plays like diablo (acts, items, skill trees, waypoints) but with a dpad, so it is a good hack and slash. The ai companions are completely useless and the story from what I could gather was some generic jap bs with lovable anime characters. Each class has 3 skill trees though, and you can change the points in them at any time which is nice, there are also tons of items with lots of stats to customize. But the enemies all play the same, so each act is more of the same.

World Destruction's story sounds really bad. It looks like it has a lot of potential but with a story like that why do they even bother!

Is it wrong that I now subconsciously think my DS is a Nintendo DragonSlayer.....

Tales of Hearts has a RIDICULOUS name but it's the only one out of those that I'm looking forward to. I suppose that one by Mistwalker could be good.

I've given up on waiting for anything on the DS.  Why do all RPGs have to be so damn Japanese?

yeah not to discount some of the good ones, but everything pretty much seems typical japanese RPG style from the releases I've seen TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT

it's pretty nice to see so many people dismissing these terrible games. you could all try to dismiss them a little harder though!!!

too bad we'll never play any of them because they'll take forever or never to be released in english
