"26. Local Control Rule
Although the boss monster terrorizing the first city in the game is less powerful than the non-boss monsters that are only casual nuisances to cities later in the game, nobody from the first city ever thinks of hiring a few mercenaries from the later cities to kill the monster. "

That's the one thing I really hate about RPGs. It doesn't make any sense.

The list is pretty much 100% accurate.

lol..yea ive read this before..unfortunately its kinda true

Yeah just like in Pokémon. The first Gym Leader is a total noob and yet he's still considered one of the best in the pokémon world.

But then again that could be explained by saying that he's the best trainer with pokémon of level below 20 or something like that.

But really I try not to think too much when I play a RPG lol

Lol! Awesome. #126 should be Kain's law.

I remember reading this ages ago. Still funny though.

Know Your Audience (Vyse Rule)
Every woman in the game will find the male lead incredibly attractive

So true...I just like it since it mentions Skies of Arcadia...

That was cool! As a long time fan of pen & paper RPG's and Fantasy novels, I can certainly see where it all comes from!

# "Silly Squall, bringing a sword to a gunfight..."
No matter what timeframe the game is set in -- past, present, or future -- the main hero and his antagonist will both use a sword for a weapon. (Therefore, you can identify your antagonist pretty easily right from the start of the game just by looking for the other guy who uses a sword.)

That so true and boring.

Also, playing jrpg since the nes or snes generation its like eating the same spaghetti with the same tomato sauce for 20 year but with a different plate.

#44 Not Invented Here
Trade of technology will not exist. One place in the world will have all the techno-gadgets while all the others will be harvesting dirt.

#59 Apathy Principle
Your group is the only bunch of people trying to save the world. All other would-be heroes will either join your party or else turn out to be cowards and/or con men.

Those are two of my favorite.
