What roleplaying games are being pretty highly anticipated this year? Or even next? I can think of at least two, those being Final Fantasy XII and Xenosaga: Episode II. Any other games, or thoughts on these up-and-comers?

Shizukana

Fable. Although I guess that came out this week, it was still VERY highly anticipated.

If you count MMORPG's there's World of Warcraft and EQ2 later this year as well.

Dragon Age and Neverwinter Nights 2. They will be coming out in '05 and '06 respectively. Personally I'm more interested in NWN2, but Dragon Age looks really cool.

I am waiting for Metalheart. Looks like a sweet Fallout clone.

CityOfAngels

I dunno about this year, but I can't remember any RPG that was anticipated more than FF7.

Arc101

Knights of the Old Republic 2 and Dungeon Siege 2. Also will be quite interested to see what the new updated Bards Tale game is going to be like. Have a look at the website (click on the woman a few times for a laugh)

Neverwinter Nights, the "sequal" to BG2 was pretty anticipated in the PC market. I put sequal in quotes because I don't feel it was or currently is a worthy of such a lofty title.

And yes, KOTOR 2 should be good (and Fable 2, right guys?!)

I'm looking forward to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords, and Jade Empire.
