| weaveworld said: Being an Rpg player most of the time, i'd say story is very important, cut-scenes slightly less... Back in the days the graphics for your typical Square games' fmv were absolutely stunning because the gap between gameplay graphics and fmv graphics was HUGE! Which made those cutscenes a real pleasure to watch and you'd really 'lay' back and enjoy! Nowadays the difference in graphics is much less, and more often cutscenes are used even at times when there is absolutely no need for them. Which makes m less of a treat to me. Storywise however i don't mind listening or reading for an hour, if the story is as intruiging as in Xenogears or Xenosaga but alas, it seems so hard this century to come up with a great story AND a good game. To me a good game feels like reading a book and watching a movie at the same time, not many games however accomplish this. So that is why i sometimes do read books or watch movies... |
Most JRPGs just seem to keep using the same 'teens(or kids) save the world from evil' plot. Even Lost Odyssey's main plot was nothing special though the dreams and the subplots are really engrossing and quite mature I might add.
