For me one of the most compelling reasons to purchase a PlayStation 3 was that I really enjoyed role-playing games, and (in early 2008) I assumed that it was only a matter of time until Sony would carry on their dominance in this particular genre from the PS2 era into the foreseeable future. And while I certainly can’t complain about the PS3’s library of games (including great exclusives such as Uncharted and Metal Gear Solid 4), I waited patiently for the first great Japanese role-playing games to be released for the system. I assumed that White Knight Chronicles and Final Fantasy XIII would be the games that I had waited for.
For the most part… they were.
