RPG and/or strategy games out since September

So I've been busy with school and work and haven't had the chance to take a look at game releases since September or maybe even August. I'm a big fan of RPG games, strategy games or a combination of the two.

What games have come out since then would fit these categories and are something you folks would recommend?

Persona 4 and Fallout 3 are on my list, I would be grateful for other comments as well.

Thanks for your help!

I have a 360, DS, Wii and PS2.

    There's Chrono Trigger for the DS, if you've never played that before and you're looking for something portable.

    Oh, hey Ardor. Haven't seen you in a while.

    You a fan of Tales? Vesperia's right up there with the best of them.

    If you've got even a very low spec PC, Jagged Alliance 2 just got released on gog.com and is very good. Turn based, squad level tactical RPG.

    The most helpful comment anyone here can give is this:

    Buy Valkyria Chronicles, as it's disappearing fast. When you eventually get a PS3, even if it's years down the road, you'll thank me.

    For the 360, Tales of Vesperia and Last Remnant are pretty solid choices. Probably the best JRPGs on the system.

    It has been a while. Things going swell?

    I played a tales game for PS1 and one for gamecube I believe, haven't tried any since. If it's a good game though, I'll take a look into it for sure. I have time and some money now!


    As for Valkyria Chronicles, the game looks great, is it a Atlus game or some such where it's typically limited print then?

    Hinterland is a combination of town-building and RPG.

    Fable 2 is awesome, although if you didn't like the first you probably won't like this one.

    Shame you haven't got a PS3, as THE game I would reccomend would be Valkyria Chronicles.
