| miz1q2w3e said: wow, so FF13 is an action RPG now? it feels so weird. i'd consider KH to action RPG but not FF13!! gamespot and gametrailers both say it's a "Role Playing" game so i'll go with that lol i mean come on, KH and FF are too different to be considered in the same genre, FF has more in common with turn based rpgs than with action rpgs like in FF you 'choose' your character's actions whereas in action rpgs you press a button and that action happens so i'd consider FF13, Xenoblade and The Last Story to be RPGs, while KH, Mass Effect and Tales are Action RPGs |
Its so confusing the genre's become so big. But FF13 has less in similar with action RPG's, it has the ATB system. But IGN has put it under Action RPG. And I agree command based shouldn't be action RPG's, I mean in FF13 you can't manually move around the battle field/screen..its really un Action RPG like.
But as the genre has become so diverse & expansive even the sites like IGN must be confused, all I'll say is this
You can put an A in front of it, but its not an Action RPG!
That is all
