reads actual thread.....

I didn't spol the story, but....

gameplay isn't turn based?


No its not turn based, thankfully.



what you meant to put didn't apper

@darth: but are they actually rpgs if they'r not turn based or a tweaked turn based?

Role Playing Games

Beng turn based doesn't dictate whether its an RPG or not.

The ones I'm listing below aren't even a "tweak" of the turn based:

Kingdom Hearts is seen as an RPG for example & so is Mass effect 2/Oblivion...neither are turn based.

I already knew that but I honestly can't believe how me2 obibion are even considered rpgs. me2 is a shooter style

I could understand kh but still

Well some people don't know how JRPG's are considered RPG's since you don't play a "Role" you just follow the characters story

In Oblivion/ME2 you play a role, you influence what happens in the world & galaxy (in ME2)

In the end they are all RPG's & Oblivion is one of the best ever created!

Cutting it short, the genre Last Story falls under is Action-RPG, most commonly used for JRPG that aren't turn based. (At least thats what I get from screens and descriptions)

Basically yeah, but it won't be a ARPG like the KH games so its misleading to say that. Bit IGN lists FF13 as an action RPG too so I'm confused....maybe there should be a "Tweaked ATB battle System" genre!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

wow, so FF13 is an action RPG now? it feels so weird. i'd consider KH to action RPG but not FF13!!

gamespot and gametrailers both say it's a "Role Playing" game so i'll go with that lol

i mean come on, KH and FF are too different to be considered in the same genre, FF has more in common with turn based rpgs than with action rpgs

like in FF you 'choose' your character's actions whereas in action rpgs you press a button and that action happens

so i'd consider FF13, Xenoblade and The Last Story to be RPGs, while KH, Mass Effect and Tales are Action RPGs

Its so confusing the genre's become so big. But FF13 has less in similar with action RPG's, it has the ATB system. But IGN has put it under Action RPG. And I agree command based shouldn't be action RPG's, I mean in FF13 you can't manually move around the battle field/screen..its really un Action RPG like.

But as the genre has become so diverse & expansive even the sites like IGN must be confused, all I'll say is this

You can put an A in front of it, but its not an Action RPG! 

That is all

I don't know why, but I feel I want this game so bad !



This is looking quite nice. Now why can't most third party developers make their Wii games look this impressive?



Interesting, might check out sometime.

The Last Story is a 1st party game. It's a joint project between Nintendo and MistWalker. Explains why the game looks and feels fantastic.

I'd say that means its 2nd party but yeah its clear ninty have been helping them with stuff.

On the other hand xenoblades graphics are poor in comparison.
