Demon Souls is an RPG, but rather classified as an action RPG. Its still based on points, but it doesn't rely on being turnbased.


Has nothing to do with the battle system. Xenoblade isnt turn based either. It has to do with the lack of a proper supporting cast and narritive.

The greatest RPG director in the world is Sakaguchi and he will work for anyone but Sony. Nintendo and Microsoft have already gained exclusives from him and Sony has no shot at an exclusive with Mistwalker because of bad blood with Sakaguchi during his Final Fantasy days.


What happended to cause such tension?


Everyone has been speculating for years, but there was definitely a falling out when he was making final fantasy on the Sony platforms.I'll do some research and get back to you, but its been a thing for a while that hes had some heat with Sony. No one has ever said why. There definitely had to have been a fallout when he left final fantasy to Kitase. Almost every RPG that guy developers turns into gold and its such a shame that its always on the less popular platforms for tht genre.

Supportng cast and narritive through conversational pieces was an element made famous by Bioware in story driven RPG's. Demon Souls and Dark Souls has a story no matter how shallow it is. That game is purely about Action/RPG gameplay mechanics. There was once a time when Western RPG players used to question whether JRPG's were true JRPG's since you couldn't affect the outcome of the story through their actions, but we've all come to the conclusion that its two culture different perspectives on the RPG even though they all came from a common source.

You're going on a tangent. This is quite simple: No narritive and supporting cast, not an RPG for me. Cant have a role without a play. So, no the director of Dark souls does not make the best RPG's in my opinion because they can hardly be qualified as such.

Huh? If the souls series aren't rpg's than neither is Bethesda's series. They are action rpg's though.

Action RPG's are RPG's. It does not clear them from the need to have a plot to be qualified as such.

I thought Nintendo got the price for the best developer ;)



Zelda - Breath of the Wild for Nintendo Switch.... Incredable!!!

Not even close, the only dudes who deserve the recognition are the ones from Naughty Dog. Also, Street Fighter isn't a PlayStation game, IV was multiplatform, and V is coming out on PC,



I'm now filled with determination.

There is a narrative. It's just delivered to the audience in an ingenius way. This isn't supposed to be a JRPG that spends hours droning on with awful writing, the story is there, you just have to look for it. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

And also:

Sports games - Sony San Diego
Sim Racing - Polyphony Digital
Platformers - Media Molecule

Playstation owners have a lot of variety!

Nintendo dominates platformers hands down.
