Forums - Gaming - JRPG Fans I Need Some Advice

Long as they dont do what Capcom did to RE6 lol^

Though games like Vanquish try to be western but you see the japanese influence everywhere if you recognize it

Yes, it is. Like I said, its a different kind and just because its not like the others does not mean its not a jrpg.

Did you overlook everything I said? -.-

Yes it is a JRPG as in it's a RPG (then again..) made in Japan but not a 'JRPG' as a genre. 'JRPG' as a genre could be defined as a RPG influenced by the Japanese culture. And Japanese culture takes root from the kawaii industry. That's what you called "big eyed anime characters and spikey hair".

And neither of these links proved me anything rofl

As I posted in my reply, this article gives you a good idea of what's a JPRG and how they are defined:

It's like saying Monster Hunter is a JRPG. That's like nails on a chalkboard.


LOL, yes those links do prove you are wrong. You said Dragon's Dogma is not a JRPG. You are wrong so just accept it.

JRPG = RPG made in Japan. It doesn't matter if it's an anime-styled game or a game that looks like Dark Souls or Dragon's Dogma. Still a JRPG.

 

 

Exactly, the name JRPG pretty much explains it.



I say Star Ocean 4, Neptunia and FFXIII-2. You forget Atelier games btw.

So basically I've realised there is no way I can play all the JRPGs I want from this gen, my backlog is just too big and its getting out of control and a large portion of the games are JRPGs that are gonna take a long time to beat.  So basically I wanted to list off the games I'm on the fence about and you guys could tell me which ones I have to play.  Btw I'm getting all the games probably soon because the gen is coming to an end and games are cheaper than they ever wil be.

The Last Story

Resonance of Fate

Star Ocean: The Last Hope (Is there a difference between PS3 and 360 versions?)

Eternal Sonata (Difference between PS3 and 360 versions?)

Pandora's Tower

FF XIII-2

Hyperdimension Neptunia

White Knight Chronicles 2

Bue Dragon

Rune Factory Frontier

Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny

If there's any that I missed that are really good let me know, if its a popular game that I missed then that probably means I already own it, thanks!

If that's your definition of JRPGs then you might as well not use that term at all because it really doesn't make sense.

What's the point of seperating genres only based on where they come from?

Based on your definition you should just call it a RPG because the Japanese part isn't defining the genre but simply the country of origin.


But that's all beside the point. Dragon's Dogma is hardly a RPG to begin with.



Hence why we should all call RPG's by their genre and not the fluff to the story based on how its stylized.
