| *~Onna76~* said: @Final... Former generation was entirely different. RPG's were on a productive scale, you wouldn't believe it. Therefore.. how can gamers change so fast? I haven't changed of being a RPG fan. I have a WII and a DS like I had a GBA and GC in the former generation. I have a PSP and PS3 like I had a .... well PS2 only in the former generation. Despite the fact I have a WII / DS you don't see me buying brain training games, cooking and how to run your houshold. Just about 2 years ago, RPG's were dominating the lists all the time and all of the sudden... poof... gone. Not a surprise if they keep on waiting with releasing or releasing on the wrong consoles which make the game bound to sell bad  Plus, Paper Mario isn't really a RPG, more an action / adventure, like Folklore is on the PS3 and Dragon Quest Swords is just a short hack n slash game, nothing more. You can't compare these games with the almighty Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Tales of..., Shin Megami Tensei, or any other kind of die hard RPG. |
Yeah, Japan seems to have the tendency to change overnight and do so all at once. In America, people liked FPS games last two generations and still like FPS games today like there is no tomorrow, despite the Wii being here.
The anime industry is also not in such good shape as it used to be too, but that's a different story, although both go hand in hand with jRPGs. My guess is that the jRPG / anime scene is now reduced to the people that hang out in Akihabara all the time.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
