| Jumpin said: The term "RPG" is used FAR too loosely nowadays. The defining characteristic of an RPG is a turn based battle system, it is really the only thing that separates it from adventure titles. For the most part, the first time I ever heard of an RPG being anything else other than that were Nintendo fans on the N64 saying Zelda: Ocarina of Time was an RPG, in the face of high criticism about the N64 having no RPGs. |
What? You really couldn't be more wrong.
RPG's are about characters, story, and how the characters change. Turn based has nothing to do with it.
I'm curious, what do you think RPG stands for because if you actually knew what it meant that would be your first clue why you're way off the mark.
