WRPGs versus JRPGs, or: My mis-adventures in KOTOR

There were plenty of items that were effectively redundant. Half of Irvine's amunition was useless, the attack/magic stones were just an alternative to drawn spells (and were doubly redundant because spells were useless once Junctioned.... why bother with magic when your STR is at 255?!), and most of the construction items used to upgrade weapons just built up and collected virtual dust with the exception of the few you actually needed, lol.

Now take Final Fantasy VII as another example of redundant items in the series. What was the point of the attack items like "Fire Veil" when Fire3 was easily attainable by the time I got my first "Fire Veil" anyway? The only time I used those items was if I did Yuffie's side quest because your materia gets taken away. By the end I had quite a collection of attack items I didn't ever need to use. And what about most of the nuts? The only useful ones were Carob and Zeio nuts! The rest were just filler. Or the absolutely useless "Easter egg" items like the 1/35 soldiers or the tissues! These were doubly annoying because they took up space in the long inventory list, yet were absolutely useless!

What I was trying to get at is "JRPGs" don't fill your inventory with junk and useless armour. 

Xenoblade does =P
