I have been playing JRPG's for so long that I have become a clouded tradionalist and like the developers that develop this this style of RPG, cannot see the outside the tadional box that includes all the commmon elements and themes that comes with them. People scream "annoying voices" and I lol and shrug them off because I see at as petty whining but I dont realize Ive benn playing for so long that something like annoying voices or stupid teen drama might seem natural or bearable compared to the casual or non JRPG fan.
Its no secret that the JRPG is falling off in popularity and sales( or continues to sell on par with last gen when they should be improving) and some say they might end up going the portable only due to the rising cost that it takes to create them and the little return there getting. There are several reasons to this but the biggest I belive is that the JRPG fan and Developer and clouded and have be become blind to the faults of JRPG which leads to not fixing them thus continuing of lack luster sales and dwindleling reputation of the genre.
What is the premise of this thread?
As the title states:
This thread is about the recongnition of faults and the recovery of the JRPG genre.
What are the commmon complaints about the genre and what are ways that they can be improved.
I espeacially want to hear from people who play other types of RPG's but get putt off by JRPG's
* this is not a western vs Japanese thread so please stay on topic
* this is not a JRPG defense thread so becuase you can stomach annoying voice or charcter doesnt mean somebody else wants to JRPG fans.
