In the majority of RPG's I dislike repetitive gameplay, derivative combat systems, clichéd stories, unlikable characters and monotonous grinding. In JRPG's I dislike the almost complete lack of real role playing elements which make them linear grindfests cluttered with cutscenes. Basically I enjoy real RPG's like Deus Ex and Fallout and dislike "lite RPG's" like Final Fantasy.

Do you guys hate JRPGs just because they mostly don't have actual roleplaying? Would you guys like them more if they were called adventure games?

 

The only unlikeable character I know about in a JRPG is Squall from FFVIII. What exactly makes a character likable or unlikable?

 

I would still dislike JRPG's if they were called adventure games because of the other reasons I stated. Personally, I don't like androgonous, anime styled characters, I find them to be unrelatable.
