| Kenryoku_Maxis said: What's more realistic? Orcs and he men fighting each other or bunny girls and effeminatemales with huge swords fighting? PS: The answer in neither are realistic. I miss the days when games were about being creative and fun. Not arguing about which was more 'realistic' or had the more 'believable story'. |
You missed the point of what he was saying and that he wsn't making an argument.
He's saying that RPGs in the West tend to be more groundd, with logic and explanations that keep them more down-to-earth. RPGs from the Japanese tradition tend to be more fantastical.
He's right, too. This is true of a lot of storytelling on both sides, and is pretty clearly illustrated in the differences you'll find in Japanese science fiction compaared to European traditions in the same field.
