Yes... a good portion of JRPG's can be epic. Doesn't change the fact of its linear nature.

Mass Effect is the only RPG (correct me if i'm wrong) that i've seen allow you to continue your save from the last game. |
Suikoden II and III allow that to a certain degree. Specially in II, it's not exactly a "continue" since the game happens 3 years after in a different region, but if you load the previous game save data some characters from the first game can carry over levels and equipment, and you get a bonus character, plus you get tons of more dialogues and scenes

Thats cool; not quite what i'm looking for, but still cool. I'm looking for something more personable than that. Thank you for the info though.
What Shio speaks is true, people stop giving him a hard time.
Fallout 1 + 2 > Mass Effect
Also, Planescape > Mass Effect
Baldurs Gate 1 + 2 > Mass Effect

1. Customizations are NOT "real" choices! And 7-9 choices... that's nowhere near the hundreds of choices in Fallout 1 & 2. 2. Dude, deciding on your class is NOT a choice that affects linearity/gameworld. You are arguing about something you don't even know about. 5. Again, deciding on a class is not something to brag about because it usually doesn't affect the gameworld other than the attributes/equipment/skills of your character, except in a few games. 6. Mass Effect is only one game. The trilogy part is just an excuse so some people can forgive the faults a stand-alone game of the trilogy has. |
1. LOL...You're expecting me to believe that customization isn't choice? Thats kinda loopy man. You're still being subjective trying to prove which WRPG is better than the other. This is sad.
2. In mass effect there are certain things you can and cannot do in the game unless you are a certain class. For instance, when you're trying to truly explore the best person to use is the engineer, because that person can allow you to get into hard crates and get the achievements for all materials found.
5. Class may not affect the game world, but you can still make individual choices. In the end it is all about your decisions.
6. Poor guy....you really haven't seen the interviews about the next game haven't you? The lead dev stated that all of your decisions will ultimately spill out into Mass Effect 2. Alot of the game is a secret, but what did to end the game (and I wont spoil it) and everything you did in the universe will fall out into Mass Effect 2. If you have a different save, it will turn out different. The world will be a product of what you did in the first game if you go based on your save. If you don't use the save part 2 will still be a great game. It's all one big story cut up into a triology. How else do you expect them to milk the franchise and show new things dude?

in star ocean 3 they let u go back on forth by teleporters.
and star ocean 4 they let u use the ship.

The ignorance in this thread is stifling. Too many people are talking about too many things they lack the knowledge to talk about.
Let me answer the red part and make at least three people kick themselves with 2 words: dot hack.
Oh wait, you wanted a WRPG example? Baldur's Gate 1 and 2.
Does the way Radiant Dawn works with Path of Radiance count, for the quoted red text?
If FFVII was a WRPG, how would they handle Aerith's death?
Multiple choices? Scripted? If scripted is ok, then where's the "line" that says too much scripting and too little?
Star Ocean 2 had over 80 endings depeding on what you did in the game. Does that count?
