Hmm I don't see how can you disagree with this statement...More realistic doesn't mean that the average WRPG is realistic;.

What's funny is... WRPG's have just as many cliche's as JRPG's.

And to counter what you said, I'm gonna advise you to play Demon's Souls

So true

Just play Dragon Age Origins

Its plot is a mish mash of a thousand cheap fantasy novels.

And Oblivion isn't?

ermmm...any mistake Oblivion makes can be excused cus the Dark Brotherhood and thieves guild were the best things evar!

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

You should pick up Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. Awesome game if a tad old.

STFU

Morrowind is the greatest game of all time.

I rest my case.

That's the point, it's almost a parody of itself. The intention was to be as stereotypical as possible. That's what I loved so much about it.

Amen. I can't wait for Dragon Age 2.

Obviously FF games are not the only jrpg’s available, good job at pointing that out. Worldwide what is the most widely known jrpg franchise, what games do people think of when rpg’s come to mind? Final Fantasy. I must say I was taking a shot at FF12 since I loathe it so much but FF is what made Jrpgs big. I did lol at your shot at mass effect 2 or the many people who felt that way so thumbs up.

Dragon age is a great example. Look at the Arc of a character like Alistair and then compare it to a character like Hope from FFXIII. The depth of characters and the motivations for how they evolve are worlds apart. Alistair past is slowly developed and how the player chooses to engage Alistair and his struggles shape how he comes to terms with his past. His story has some depth and feels more grounded in reality. Hope listens to some bull shit corny speech and is all of a sudden he is magically changed.

Don't even get me started on Alistair, I couldn't care less if he died, I never got attached to his character or his story which wasn't done well at all. Speaking of corny speeches, Dragon Age tops there too

Don't talk like that about Alistair!

One of the most wonderful characters in video games ever.

A simple yet such a lovable character.
