| Megadude said: There is another problem with new JRPG's... They suck. None of these games can hold a candle to SNES RPG's from back in the day. Here's another problem. JRPG's are suppsed to be 40-100 hours to complete. A lot of people are saying WRPGs like mass effect are way better then new JRPG's. And they are right. But you can beat mass effect in 6 hours. Now look how long it takes to develop a short 6 hour long game and think about how long it would take to develop a game that is 10X as long. That's why People have high hopes for FF 13 because it's going to be big budget big graphics LONG ass game. Were going to see more quality JRPG's as this gen continues games that have been in development for 5-7 years. |
yes ME and Fable are short, but WRPG's aren't all that way. Look at Oblivion and Fallout, even without all the expanded content, there is easily about 200 hours worth of play time in oblivion, and I'm still working on Fallout, so who knows:) I don't think FFXII wil be more than 40 hours though.
