The biggest problem I have with Western RPGs is that, unlike more mainstream type RPGs like Final Fantasy, they focus solely on a target audience of power nerds and dungeon of dragons nerds. They focus on the same nerdy audience who has to play shooters online 90 hours a week and listen to lots of heavy metal music so they can feel uber 1337 hardcore badass (even though they probably can't even jog a half a kilometer without passing out and dying). That's why the more mainstream Japanese RPGs are more popular and will continue to remain so. |
Yeah, it is much better to focus on forum dwelling anime nerds. |
Final Fantasy and Tales are not all JRPGs. There ARE JRPGs that target markets beyond 10-18 year old males.
|
And by beyond you mean forum dwelling anime nerds?
|
You mean like you?
I'm talking games like Dragon Quest, Phantasy Star and Monster Hunter. Which hit markets beyond that age group in Japan.
|
Sorry but I hate anime. ;(
Those games are exactly the kind of games which appeal only to the anime nerds.
|
No foolin’. So because you hate Anime, those games can only be liked by Anime nerds. Your logic is so unfaultable, you should run for congress.
|
And because you happen to be a anime fan, those games have wide appeal! Gee.
|
I never said I was an Anime fan. I was just stating the facts about what games were popular and unique for the JRPG genre.
However, I will state that, aside from these facts, I am an Anime fan. But you don't have to be to like these games. Hell, Monster Hunter looks more like a WRPG than most JRPGs and Dragon Quest plays more like a WRPG than any other JRPG out there.
