Like I said, gameplay is not the only thing important in a game and especially in an RPG. By gameplay I meant battle system, which is the RPG´s gameplay most important feature. I couldn´t care less if IU is an evolutionary "situtational RPG" if all the rest is mediocre.

Gameplay is king and I can't believe you are trying to downplay it. If a game's fun to play, it's fun to play period.

If you want proper story and characters, you are better off picking up a book or two - with extremely few exceptions game's writing and characters are... poor.

That is the game designer's fault.  They are too lazy to give their characters backstory.  Developers should take example from Lost Odyssey.  That game has deep characterizations and many RPGs love LO for that reason among others.
