EuroGamer have <a href="http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/coming-attractions-mmos-and-rpgs-article">gone done looked ahead at upcoming RPGs</a>:
<blockquote><b>Star Attraction</b>
Final Fantasy XIII

<b>Supporting Cast (in alphabetical order)</b>
Borderlands
Dragon Age: Origins
<blockquote>BioWare fans recently discomfited by space, Sonic and the prospect of other people can draw deep draughts of comfort from Dragon Age's handsome revivalism. It might not bear the Baldur's Gate name, but this is straight from the D&D old school and proud of it. Choose your own adventure - as long as it's epic enough to trump Tolkien.</blockquote>Dragon Quest IX
The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf
</blockquote>
Admit it, it's all over. Give up hope now. Dragon Age: Origins RPG GOTY 2009 due to lack of competition.

Well, better than 2008, AKA the year of Fallout 3. That's not saying much, I know.

Rages and flames still make the year better for an RPG Forum than the mild an uneventful year.

But hopefully AoD will stir things up a bit.

According to the text, Sahz has a deep love for chocobos, likes the color green, and dual-wields pistols.

Chocobo = Tuned cars ?
Lime Green = Pimps?
Dual-wield pistols = Gangsta?

Oh well, when I thought that the FF franchise couldn't get any lower after OD'ing on emo culture... guess they have to cater to the GTA San Andreas fanbase too now.

Except San Andreas mocked the gangsta "lifestyle" and rappers from start to finish. One of the best parts about it.

It does, indeed, but I thought it would be more of a FPS with stats than RPG, which is still cool with me, because there are going to be guns... a hell of a lot of guns :)

Another RPG that I really hope will be good is Obsidian's Aliens RPG
This universe is so made of win that if Obsidian manage to take the most of it, we could as well have one of the best RPGs/most atmospheric games of recent years

Yeah it's a trap. It's a model that was used for FF7 movie to represent Cloud.
It has dick all right.

It's official that FF13 will be released in the West only in 2010.

Which is fine. Who want's to play androgynous faggots?
