Exclusive wise, I'm not entirely sure so I'd probably go with what others have suggested, Star Ocean, Resonance of Fate etc.

Just out of interest, is Agarest worth getting.

Not a J-RPG really (well, made in Japan, but it's nothing like typical J-RPGs), but Demon's Souls is absolutely fantastic.

If you like SRPGs. It doesn't bring anything new to the genre but the dating sim elements add an unique flavor.

Demon Souls and Valkirya Chronicles are pretty good. DS is pretty hard but its supposed to be a challenge and you do have a great sense of 'FUCK YEAH!!' when you defeat a boss. VC is a very pretty game and I do enjoy the combat.

However, on the PS3 you should take point we get 'uber' versions of Xbox 360 JRPGs and RPGs. For instance, we have the International Star Ocean, the uber Eternal Sonata and most recently the all DLC included Mass Effect 2.

(For other genres, the Uncharted titles are must-haves, Heavy Rain is a must-play, LittleBigPlanet 2 is great regardless of wanting to make your own levels or not, and Killzone 3 is looking pretty sweet.)

Demon's Souls, when (and if) you get into in, the game is very rewarding, the combat is based on tactics and not on how many button combos you can pull off. Basically, if you go in, guns blazing, this game will fuck you up.

Demon's Souls for sure. Try the first stage, its usually enough to see whether its the right game for you. You honestly can't go wrong with Valkyria Chronicles as a second choice though.

That should be changed to "if you like stories that don't make you physically ill with how incredibly poorly written they are and manage to completely fuck up what could have been an enjoyable experience due to writing and voice acting so bad that it seeps over into gameplay due to sheer awfulness and taints it all with a glimmer of retardation and idiocy, even managing to provide a moment so dumb, so mind-numbingly overwrought and stupid and meleodramatic yet ultimately inconsequential and pointless that it makes it's writer a sort of king amongst crap FPS story writers (which is an achievement in itself) then you'll despise Killzone 2." Yeah, that's far more appropriate.

GARZAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
So I take it you didn't like the game.

To the Killzone 2's defense, I don't know any player that actually gets FPS's for the story. The gameplay was really polished however, and that's the main reason why one should pick up Killzone 2. Killzone 3, on the other hand, looks like it'll have some really nice voice-acting and an actual, semi-interesting story.

As long as it has good gameplay though, I'm still happy.

Disgaea 3. Amazing game, worth buying a PS3 for alone.
NIS is forcing my hand. Disgaea 3, 4, and a couple of other games they are publishing....sigh. Why did they have to be attached to Sony's hip?

I've only got Valkyria Chronicles out of those choices...

But I'm enjoying it a lot, it's very engaging and unique. The art style of the game is also cool, it's satisfying when you beat a mission etc.

So yeah, if you can find it cheap or something, I suggest it.

Uncharted 1 & 2, Heavy Rain, Demon's Souls, LittleBigPlanet 2, Flower, InFamous, Killzone 2 and the Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction trilogy.

I'd say get the Sly Cooper Collection.

Not too up to date on modern JRPG's, so yeah.

Get the Sly Collection. Just do it.
I don't know. The series has aged really poorly. Also, all they changed was the resolution. It'd be nice if they actually put some honest-to-god effort into the visuals.

[HEADING=3]Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Storm 2[/HEADING]
I'm going to get that one. I loved the Ultimate Ninja series for the PS2. I just want mah RPGs, first.
Question: Are Juugo, Hidan, and Sasori any good? Those are my favorite characters and I would have to main them.

I don't think so. I'm re-playing through them on the PS2, and they're just as fun as they've ever been.

Also, I feel I must mention this... Developers. If your going to make us restart before a boss or anything like that when we die, skip the cutscene. We watched it, and I can't tell you how great it is in Sly Cooper to not have to watch the same cutscene over and over again.

Sorry, side rant, but I feel better now.
