| Slimebeast said: HUGE LOL! This game just looks plain ridiculous. Gah! These annoying kids once again, fighting big monsters while throwing cuss-words at them from left and right. And people bash Oblivion... I don't get it. Yet. What is so good about JRPGs? I'm serious, I can't imagine what the components are that make you "hooked" by this genre. Is it the story? The mesmerizing actiony grafix? The music and atmosphere? Environments? Or is it simply the core-mechanics that all RPGs have - the addicting leveling and gathering of loot (be honest now)? |
that's my point JRPG don't have anything from an RPG beside the name and the word XP.... we seriously need to find another name for that category it's missleading..... JRPG in most cases don't have 10% of what is needed to truly be a RPG... I'm not saying they are good or bad..... but just the fact to have a deep story and character development and the linearity of those already negates the fact that it is a RPG.... i'm not even talking about the mechanics that are not even close to the simplest paper RPG.... they should call that interactive jap animation.... not RPG... I do love jap animation and a lot of those "JRPG" are in my top list of games.... but I don't agree about them being RPGs in any sens of the word....
