@Zarx "in a real life RPG"

thats what you she said (in this case you), but honestly I did not come here to argue just post my opinion and my opinion is that JRPGs are RPG.

ok ok no offence meant I was just posting my opinion of your opinion lol. I consider JRPGs RPGs to but I can also see where the bioware dev was coming from and was trying to explain it to the people that were acting like he was saying that JRPGs were bad games etc. The definition of an RPG like I and others pointed out has different meanings to different people and they are all pretty much equally valid. Games can be great without being RPGs. 

 

as for "in real life RPG" I was pointing out where the term originated/concept came form, The Bioware dev probably grew up playing D&D etc and that is were he would have been introduced to RPGs, you probably started with JRPGs which from the D&D based definition of an RPG isn't a real RPG, not that there is anything wrong with that I like JRPG games but I can acknowledge that some people could consider them not to be RPGs.
