I don't get why JRPGs get hammered for being "staple" and "need to evolve" or something, yet FPS gets off with that. And MAG scoring over FFXIII? Yeah, right!

Shhh, don't you know that FPS don't need evolution to be fun and that they can all be the same thing, or a downgrade from PC FPS's from the late 90's, early 2000? :P 

JRPG's have to evolve in each game, other wise the genre is dead, doomed, put into a grave, tossed aside and burned at the stake. 

Yeah but this is only in the West like this....

Famitsu loves the game like hell and most of the people who played it liked it too,me including


But the trend in the West is >  More Gore,more Action and more shooting = Awesome game
Look at Mass Effect 2....They were happy that the game is now more Gears of War than a RPG....I mean wtf?
More Action = better Game?Even if its supposed to be a RPG?

Crap West and Idiot Reviewers


Wonder what they will give Resonance of Fate/End of Eternity in the West.
There we have guns and it has a completely new(a little bit complicated) System.
Im currently playing it and like it nearly as much as FF13
But probably it will get 3% and LOLOLOL because the chars look Emo and not like Gorillas on steroids and cant make headshots! -.-

I pretty much don't pay much heed to reviewers, if I had, I wouldn't be playing and enjoying WKC as I am now. 

The problem is not with reviewers itself, it's with the general mentality of the gaming community. JRPG's are now seen as the "stuck in the past" genre, when almost every genre is guilty of that. Pretty much no genre has taken significant leaps of evolution since the late 90's, early 2000's.

I think that people should enjoy the genres and the games for what they are, instead of what they want them to be, and stop being unjust and unfair with the genres they don't enjoy. At least it would make for much more civilized conversations.
