That means we're sitting there watching Lightning be some sort of action hero asking ourselves why we aren't the ones doing that. |
You've just described the modern Final Fantasy series, and...?
| dtewi said: In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points. |
The Secret of Mana series is no longer in the RPG genre then. For that matter, neither are most ARPGs, including Elder Scroll titles. That definition is not going to work.

Planescape: Torment >>> Xenogears
Baldur's Gate >>>>>> Final Fantasy
Fallout >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tales of ___.
Week-old turd >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Persona.

The better you are at reading and writing a language, the harder it becomes to accept the bastardization of that language. What AkibaFan is doing is little better than beating English into a twisted form of comprehensibility, then repeatedly running over the corpse with a ten-ton steamroller of Stupid.

Not to derail, but what about Demon's Soul? I've had my eye on that one, so I'm hoping it doesn't fall under this syndrome you've identified.
| tube82 said: there is an "in my opinion" missing in the OP. |
That clause is assumed. That applies to this topic, and to 99% of the posts you'll read on any site. And yes, it applies most strongly to posts which contain the phrase "and that's not my opinion, that's a fact!", especially if "fact" is capitalized.

Don't get too upset, it's only my fourth! |
If it makes dtwei feel any better, it's my second.
