    Decent RPG for Xbox 360?

    Just got my Xbox 360 this week and so far have been playing:

    COD3
    Halo 3
    Bioshock
    Forza 2 and
    PGR3

    Im just wondering if there are any good RPG's about similar to Zelda or Final Fantasy?

    Thanks
    Martin

    I've been playing through Blue Dragon, and while its not quite as refined as FF7, its still a great game to play.
    Just remember to set the audio track to Japanese, so you dont get the annoying American voices!

    Dont think there is much yet, as Steve says there is Blue Dragon which seems alright. Demo on XBL is worth a go.

    Mass effect soon etc

    Mass Effect will be huge, Enchanted Arms is more traditional JRPG style and should be relitivly cheap as it didn't sell well.

    If you can stand the somewhat child-orientated storyline, Eternal Sonata is basically FF with nice graphics on the X360.

    There is also too human aswell coming out and got the impression that is going to be quite big.

    but as i said above... mass effect!!! I really cant wait for this, read the prequl novel over the weekend and it wasnt bad, also setup the universe for the game (how humans became part of the unieverse, where the tech came from, what specters are etc) very short tho.

    eternal sonata is the finest rpg based in the fevered dying dreams of a 19th century polish composer you'll play all year!

    no other rpg based in the fevered dying dreams of a 19th century polish composer on the 2007 release radar comes close

    There is actually a demo on XBOX live of Eternal Sonata apparently.

    RPG is a sadly lacking genre on 360 at the moment. Eternal Sonata looks decent, Blue Dragon looks a bit underwhelming, Oblivion is good but not as good as the PC version (still fun though, I played through Shivering Isles on 360 and thoroughly enjoyed it).

    Looking forward to Mass Effect though. Bioware rock.

    Mass Effect is going to pwn.

    Enchanted Arms is pretty good, you can pick that up cheap now, it's not fantastic but I thought it was enjoyable. There's also Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata, I wasn't impressed with the Blue Dragon demo, and haven't played Eternal Sonata at all but I hear it's really good.
