Honestly, a mix of what I wrote was opinion and assertions. You can ignore the opinions quite fine, as they are just that, but what about the assertions? Do you know of a 7th generation JRPG which properly incorporated the element of exploration with either a semi or fully open-world? Was it not a standard belief that JRPG's are inherently (to the core of their genre) linear with respect to WRPG's? The bolded seems to me that you have nothing to say nor contribute, but you want to leave with an unsubstantiated characterization of a person with an opposing view (see: Ad Hominem) in order to look like you do have something to contribute, but you are too good to provide it. For that matter, which person is better characterized by hautiness and "thick glasses"? Remember, you were the one who posted things like this, "You obviously don't play many JRPGs." I persistently remained polite despite that. |
Ni No Kuni, White Knight Chronicles, Tales of Vesperia/Xillia, Star Ocean 4, and the list goes on.
You choose to take one aspect that Xenoblade did well, and forget to see what other games also did. Even if on a smaller scale, or in a different manner. Xenoblade appears to be open world, but its world is empty and serves mostly as a tranversal method, just like any other RPG, even if it doesn't load as often as them.
