Have you played Kotor1 and Jade Empire then?

I've played Jade Empire.  It was alright.  I don't HATE WRPGs, they're just second rate to me.  I'll still take a WRPG over a shooter anytime, any day.  But I just grew up playing JRPGs--they're what made me a gamer.  A lot of the younger generations didn't have that opportunity so they've fallen in love with action and button mashing rather than a tear-evoking, cut-scene filled story.


i agree 100%  Most of these people rushing to FFXIII's defense know nothing about about the older jrpg's we played growing up.  Button smasher aka..gamers 20 and younger play on a 360, most older have both play PS3 90% of the time due to the quality of the jrpgs.  eg.. Star Ocean International is so awesome on the ps3 but crap on the 360

Actually, have you stopped to consider that many people defending FFXIII have actually been long time RPG fans as well? 

You're making so much leaps in judgment, it's not actually funny. Oh and about the quality of JRPG's on PS3 or 360, Lost Odyssey would like to give you a word.  

i agree with lestatdark, i am one of the younger generations your talking about, being 17, and i have played FFIII, ChronoTrigger, FFVI, FFVII, and onwards. Button-mashers are bad games unless done right and FPSs have actually gotten worse and repetitive because there are just too many "good" ones its all people seem to be playing, i admit it that alot of my generation dont play "proper" games and only go as far as shooters and sports but there are quite a few of us that play JRPGs almost religiously, more than i first thought aswel. Also yes alot of gamers 20 and under have a X360 but again sweeping statement and most of my friends have a PS3 and a Wii, not an X360 in sight. Those with only a X360 has quickly diminished aswel and quite a few people have bought a PS3. Star Ocean is a brilliant game on the PS3 it must be said, as is FFXIII.

I am also part of the younger generation at 17 years old and I am playing  FFXIII right now.  Teens don't play only shooters and sports games, that's a crass generalization.  They play a diverse variety of game.  This is proven in  a survey I read.

What does me having a 360 have to do with any of this? You guys worship games that almost noone played, everything that is mainstream sucks according to you. Also 8-bit and 16-bit games were good in their time everyone with half a brain could figure out that games of today actually have appeal and aren't just for people that are horny for stats. Think about it most of your precious and awesome games is just pure statistic farming. I rather be button mashing and beat a game like Devil may Cry 4 or Ninja gaiden on their hardest difficulty then 1 shot a lv 200 dragon.
