pretty much what the thread title says. 

i've beaten Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age, and i'm looking for another RPG to jump into.  i've narrowed it down to these three:

1)  Final Fantasy XIII
2)  Tales of Vesperia
3)  Star Ocean

things to know:  i'm not a huge anime fan, but tales of symphonia for the gamecube was one of my favorite games ever.

suggestions?

Tales of Vesperia was talky, and I had no idea how most of the mechanics worked.  I didn't finish it, but I think I got close.  The combat mechanics were interesting, though.

I, too, will echo Cpt_Micha's question.  If you haven't played Fallout 3, I recommend it.

Just as a note: I have a terrible habit of not finishing RPGs.  I finished Fallout 3 multiple times and got 100% on all the ACH (including all of the DLC) on two xbox profiles because I liked it so much.  And there's currently the Game of the Year edition, which includes all (5, I think) DLCs.

Perhaps, yet the topic was about games for the Xbox 360.

If you've played Fallout 3, I suppose "eenie, meenie, miney, moe" might solve your dilemma. If you haven't played it, pick Fallout 3.

The Tales series kicks all shapes and sizes of ass. I only got to play the first couple hours of Vesperia (it was awesome), but I've beaten Tales of Symphonia about half a dozen times.

If you're a fan of the Metal Gear series, MGS4 is probably the most kickass game I've played in the last 5 years.

If you haven't played any Metal Gear games... frikkin get started.

1)  don't think MSG 4 is for 360 yet
2)  beat the CRAP out of Fallout 3
3)  daggerfall is about 90 years old (haha)

thanks guys, i think i'm leaning towards vesperia

I suppose you could try Lost Odyssey alot of people like it I find it mind numbingly slow with a pretty subpar combat and level up system.
Blue Dragon is supposed to be pretty good too. This one I haven't played yet but I've been curious. If I can find it on the cheap I'll pick it up myself.

blue dragon was fun but super super traditional turn-based combat.  no weapons or armor, just "shadows".  also some of the characters were irritating

Last Remnant isn't bad either. (Not great mind you but it's not bad)

Well considering I beat Vesperia about 4 times, Iwould definetly reccomend that, it fufills all sorts of RPG OCD goodness
