Agree with all the posts above. Also Resonance of Fate looks pretty cool too for a JRPG. Combat is a lot different than what you are probably used to which could be good or bad depending on your taste.
I think genres we are used to (RTS/RPG) are getting revamped nowadays to reach a broader audience. Hence C&C4, DoW2, FFXIII etc... But the Total War series is pretty strong for RTS and the nods to Dragon Age and Mass Effect seem well deserved.
Edit:
Here's a good ROF review and compares it a bit to FFXIII.
