He's not saying FFXIII isnt. He's saying JRPG's aren't... Full stop.

Well, it was in reference to FF13, but I guess his criticisms apply to a lot of JRPGs.

I'll just echo what I said in the thread I created: "I'd be inclined to agree that the JRPG model seems more like an action/adventure kind of model actually, but I haven't played a lot of JRPGs, including FF13, so..."

Though I might be venturing into dangerous territory here

If you look at what he says...

"I don't know what those are - adventure games maybe? But they're not RPG's."

He's not just talking FFXIII, but JRPG's in general.
