Just out of curiosity: could you list the ones you liked and which ones you hated?  How are JRPGs overrated?  They don't sell as well as shooters.

since when is KH a RPG?

Lol are you serious?

Everything in life is like that; for example, for every pretty girl there are many not pretty girls. It not realistic to expect every girl to be stunning or 1 out of 2 or 3, like it's unrealistic to expect every RPG or 1 out of 2 or 3 to be a masterpiece; there will always be more things you don't like, than you like.

Tales games have some of the most attrocious cameras of any RPG system ever made and they get even worse when you decide you wan to have more than one person playing.  You also have really awkward movement in say Tales of Symphonia making it even worse.  You can move at or away from an enemy, but that's really it.  Let's not even get into the handheld or older games where your character is permanently set on the Semi-Auto "I run back and forth" setting.

Star Ocean's system isn't any better.  At least in Tales you can always see the enemy on the screen.  In Star Ocean, unless you're right next to the enemy... don't expect to see it at all.  The camera just loves to zoom in on your character at random times.  Star Ocean also has the lovely delay on attacks where if you push the button it might be a second or longer till your attack gets executed.  At least Tales gets the "I push the button, something happens" concept down.

Conversely, games like Kingdom Hearts, God of War, and others are more inline with what I'd like to see control-wise.  You controlled a character and it handled well.  They also had RPG elements (leveling, orb/magic leveling...etc).  Gimme another Kingdom Hearts-style game over Tales of Shitty Battle Systems any day.

Do you consider Zelda a RPG?

The main focus of Zelda is on exploration, puzzle solving, and combat in that order.  Story in most Zelda games is just a golden mcguffin to get Link motivated to go out and do the other stuff.  For those reasons, it's classified as an adventure game and not an RPG.

No Zelda is an action-adventure. Even though the action rpg genre is a subgenre of action adventures, they are still very different. Some do consider Zelda an rpg though.

Edit: @ WoW What are your opinions on mana games?

"why does anyone like them?"

I don't like JPRG

I love Seiken Densetsu II and III.  The rest (that I've played) are poo.

Of course, the story in SDIII in more along the lines of a Zelda story.  It starts strong and then pretty much goes away for a majority of the game.  It's like "Okay, you know the scoop... now go defeat the 8 doodads of whatchamacallit" which is very reminiscent of Zelda.

SDII was much better in the story area though.  ^_^
