Okay 100+ hour single player? Then its a must for me. Maybe I'll play online with my best friend but other then that I doubt it. You see, when people talk to me when I'm concentrating I can't focus and that really happens in online play. Burnout Paradise I annoyed by the fact that some people had their microphones on and I had to enjoy the crying and yelling from kids on the background. I entirely lose my concentration then and makes me suck entirely in that part.

Oh, come on. We could have VGC quests where a bunch people assign a time and we all get on at once and tackle a big boss or whatever. It could be fun.

JRPGs should not, and i repeat SHOULD NOT, have "social networking".

Why not? You don't like talking to your friends and planning attacks while you quest?

 

No.

@Undying So what you're saying is that MMORGPs are only good if they're Western???

Even so, if you don't like MMORPGs from Japan, this game is not primarly MMO, it's a traditional JRPG, only that it has more features, if you don't want to play them, then don't, and stick to the offline, like the steak and chips analogy...

People are reacting to the online capabilities like the game is only an MMO... It's a new era, and a game has the capabilities to be not only one thing, but many, like FPS, that have campaing, co-op, multiplayer, etc., and JRPGs can have offline story (with a lot of hours of combats and epic storyline), online multiplayer, even co-op, the thing is that the main part of the game is well done (although it's better to have all things well done, but this is Level-5 so i'm not worried)...

 

No, In fact all MMORPGs are quite terrible.

 There's no Microphone support if that's a plus for you.

No.

I asked why. I don't understand why anyone would just reject the idea of playing a JRPG with your friends. Nearly every Tales game has this same feature, just offline.

He's just afraid of change.  These people always complain that JRPGs don't change.  When they do, are they happy? No, they complain some more.  I personally find pretty much every decision choice for WKC ranging from the battle system only using the X button to having an online mode to be pretty smart choices.

As much as Obama would lead you to believe, change is not always good.

 

JRPGs are not MMOs, they are meant to be solo experiances. This concept of friends joining you and playing with you in a JRPG is disgusting. It barly worked in The tales games. In those game one person moves the game along while the other assumes the role of an NPC in battle.

 

I've presented my case and i do not much care to argue it with you guys. I'm sure WKC will have a wonderful single player campaign...too bad that they are wasting energy and resources on an asinine gimmick such as social networking.
