| Shameless said: I play a lot of JRPGs, but never seem to finish any of them. Most of the ones I've played have terrible stories and no difficulty beyond spending time grinding. You can't really argue there's any strategy involved in most of them either. |
This, pretty much. The only RPGs I've played that have actual strategy are SRPGs and the Megaten games. Mostly, they're terribly easy, and you can sleep through most of the battles by just mashing X.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
