JRPG's are overrated?!

Eh? I thought you wouldn't play MMORPGs due to the amount of grindings needed...

In any case, I still wonder where RPG games got their name from. There are very few "role playing" in the very few RPGs that I have played. In fact, Persona 3 is the only game which I feel that there are actually any kinds of role playing (albeit in a simulation sort of way).

Correct.

You'll notice that Dragon Warrior and Dragon Warrior III are NES games. I've long since outgrown the phase where I didn't mind grinding.

Also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-playing_game#History

Are there some secrets to disliking grinding while still liking RPGs? =p

And meh, even for historical reasons, the term RPG is outdated now... It should be named something else. /pif (yea, no one is going to do that, I know)

 

 

If we can't call JRPGs role playing games, what do we call them?
