Which of them?

Chrono Trigger, every Final Fantasy, Tales of Symphonia, Skies of Arcadia, Dragon Quest 8, Xenogears, Lunar... you name it.

 

What's your point?

Wait, so you think that Xenogears has a bad anime plot? Oo

Are you serious? The only game that has reached that level is PS:T.



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

I don't want to contradict you, but wasn't Saleem Sinai the name of the main character of the book?

I actually read more than I play games, mostly scientific stuff due to my line of studies, but I always have a new book to read at my side late at night ;).

Edit

@Johann

And you know what's sad? It's that he hasn't responded yet. He just threw that as being all high and mighty about literature, yet when he was proven to be wrong, he just left the thread. Personally I want him to respond, not because of his derogatory comments, but as a literature buff, I want to see what his knowledge of classical literature encompasses.

Lol sorry brah think you might be mistaken

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

I agree with this thread. I just dont understand how people can like this genre.

My understanding of JRPGs is that they are:

- linear

- have arena fights

- have Manga people and children, which I find no attraction in

- their settings, worlds and chracters feel very artificial and cheezy

- their stories are childish and overly melodramatic

JRPGs have you beaten this generation or any generation?

None.

Well then you don't know jack shit about them so maybe you shouldn't even comment when this thread is clearly made to answer those who have actyally played them.

@ShadowSoldier

But the link says that Saleem was the main character, how am I mistaken? :P

Wait, weren't those the exact same things you said in the other JRPG thread? I thought you clarified that the only JRPG games you've played we're only from this generation, and we gave you suggestions of far better JRPG games that didn't had any of those cons that you pointed out.
What you're doing is just repetitive bashing for no reason whatsoever.

Yeah, I think so. I apologize.

But I don't have to finish a game to give a qualified opinion. Plus I can watch the endings on GameAnyone.

@Slimebeast

That's ok then. I still think you should give those games a try, they can probably change your opinion on JRPG's. And believe me, no video will be a substitute to the real thing ;)

Can u list them again? So i can write them down. 'Dissidia' and what else?



Khuutra on 12 October 2009

Dissidia is not a JRPG.

People who trashtalk JRPGs for no particular reason, with no experience of them, are exactly as bad as people who trash WRPGs when they have no experience of them/their only experience is Oblivion and Mass Effect.

I swear, sometimes you people....
