And you thought your RPG schedule for the next three months was packed when it was just Final Fantasy XIII, End of Eternity, Ar Tonelico 3 and Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope International! Add another major release to that list. Nippon Ichi announced today a January 28 release date for Last Rebellion. Pricing is set at ¥7,140 -- pretty low for a big name RPG.

Last Rebellion promises orthodox RPG gameplay with a less-than-orthodox premise. You take control of Nine and Aisha, two main characters who share a single HP and MP. You'll have to switch off between the two as you work your way through command-based battles.

FFXIII, End of Eternity, Ar Tonelico 3 and Star Ocean 4 marked a clear end to the PS3's RPG drought. Add in Last Rebellion, and we're approaching an RPG flood.

It looks like you'll have a good month to finish up FFXIII, but do be sure and get some rest for the four RPGs that drop between January 28 and February 4.

There's actually a whole lot more on the way for the PS3 than just these four RPGs. Be sure and give a glance at the fully updated PS3 release calendar to plan your gaming in advance.
