making choices and creating a character isnt the basis of an rpg, the basis is leveling up and have some perks and diffrent kinds of weapons and items. no offense to bioware they are a great company but they cant compare themselves to SE and japanese developers in making rpgs, yes dragon age origins is my favorite rpg but still, they cant insult jrpg makers.

Errr... I think they just did

OT: JRPGs do seem to have more in common with Adventure games than WRPGs. But I think the basis of an RPG is character development, whether that be in gameplay (e.g. improving stats via a leveling system) or in story choices (e.g. you choose how your character behaves). I suppose FFXIII is less of an RPG than other JRPGs as a lot of the core and traditional RPG elements have been removed in favor of a streamlined experience. But it's still an RPG!
