I have some question for you folks. There is a lot of JRPG talk here and that got me wondering:
-How can you cope with girls squeaking on this genre? It drives me crazy.
-Whats up with everybody having the same type of hair do? Dragon Ball type or Lost Odyssey type.
-The overly similar Anime approach of presentation, etc...

I'm not bashing the genre, I just want to read your views on those topics.
I used to be a Pokemon head back in the days and a fan of turn based combat; today I can't stand the latter.

I like jrpgs. I absolutely hate girls squeking in any japanese media but i just try to ignore it as best as possible. The same type of hair do? Although thats partially true i like the hair do a lot :P. You can never have too much of anything related to dragonball. Also i like anime too so yeah that doesnt bother me. But i love Wrpgs much more then jrpgs.

Soul, western games lack soul.

For the record, FF15 also does.

Very untrue. Tons of western games have soul. thats just a stupid sterotype of "generic shooters". Youre saying sunset overdrive,mass effect,witcher 3, tlou, gears and many others lack soul?

WRPGs do yeah, that's why I can't play more than 10 minutes before dropping them. 

SO does, indeed(lack it). For some reason I won't buy more, 7.8 would be enough if it had it.

Gears is fun, but doesn't have much soul either. And is my favorite ip. 

tlou, uncharters, tomb raider and those ''cinematic experiences'' are the center of my souless argument.

just  bescause a game isnt that enjoyable to you doesnt mean it doesnt have soul. Maybe we have different definitions of soul? I think sunset overdrive has lot of soul put into it. You arent the sole decider of what is fun so it doesnt matter if you cant put 10 minutes into wrpgs. that has nothting to do with soul. Well at least my soul, what do you consider soul? its okay if you have trouble describing it. I would also

All opinions are subjective, mine, yours.. any. 

No matter what anyone says it's always opinion, nothing makes it the right and universal one. 

Of course I can decide, it's my gaming time, my opinion.. my tastes. That's what I'm sharing here. 

Soul is all about feeling, it can't be explained with words. 

Ps: not sure how you got the impression that I was talking as the universal truth. Saying everything japonese is DB alike is as biassed as my comment.



Taste is subjective guys. I'm not talking about the quality of a genre.
Tiago, why do you like squeaky girls in JRPGs? lol...
This was supposed to be a fun dialog. Sorry folks

I've lost all interest in KI now that MKX hype is ramping up :(

Think I played 1 match with Riptor, has anyone else come out since?

There are some things I dislike on anime, anime games.

Tsundere type of girls, which is the most popular one. But I can't stand them as of late. Those are usually the squeaky girls.

And the English VA are usually terrible, not always, which makes the voices hard to listen to. 



Commenting on the wrpg's compared to jrpg's. The real distinguish I have between the two is the more serious, gritty tone for wrpg's and the more quirkiness of jrpg's. Both are good in their own way.



Omen was released couple of days ago. And he's fun.
I like MK but it's gameplay is not as hectic as Killer's. I grew up on MK2 and 3.
To me those were the best, specially MK3 with running.

Is Rurouni Kenshin considered Anime or Manga?
