"Final Fantasy is a big story which you just play out with the old RPG turn based system. Mass Effect 2 is much more than just that."

"I guess that's a subject we'll always disagree on, Final Fantasy is much more than that descritption in my opinion."

"Final Fantasy is just a story with a battle system. Prove me wrong. I would love to see it your rebuttal."

"Well, this isn't a contest of right and wrong S.T.A.G.E. I have an opinion, as do you. They differ, so what?"

and then you go on to say how great the final fantasy series has been without acting providing any good examples of it being any more than that.

IMO, the only RPG part of FF is that you sometimes get to choose your name and abilities. But games that aren't even RPG let you do that. COD: MW2 does that. Does that make a call of duty game an RPG? ... no.

Am i seriously seeing someone try to say Final Fantasy 13 is not an RPG?

In the definition of the word, yes.

Hint - You are wrong.

The responses keep getting more and more subjective. Just because you call something an rpg doesn't actually make it so.

How about if me, and millions more people do?

Even the games developers, and publishers, and the owners of the consoles the games release on?

Or... Should we all listen to the ramblings of a few forum-goers?

how about we analyze a bit, eh?

an RPG to you means having a character where the only things you customize are their name and abilities. But you get to be in a role in the story. Which is what I assume you are trying to say. But the fact is, the story is a pre determined one. When you look back at what RPG video games are based on, D&D and of the like, Mass effect (and many other wrpg's) is more of an RPG than FF  and most JRPG's are, due to the customization and story options.

So what you are saying is, if a main character has been given a name and is fully voice acted... It is impossible to be an RPG?

Y'know what, im gonna make a thread with a poll. Just to prove you wrong.

Considering the JRPG  & anime fanbase it is obviously skewed.

and no, that is not what I'm saying. I don't know how to make what I said simpler so you are just a lost cause...

final fantasy no rpg... not enough rpg elements.. Simple enough? ff = Call of duty as an rpg. comprendo? Simple enough? What?

I don't care what you call me, in fact I've seen your handy work on certain walls.

Fact is, you're saying that Final Fantasy XIII isn't an RPG and then explaining what an RPG, to you, is. Then, if that's the case, what genre is Final Fantasy? I guess it is you with the comprehension problem, as you have yet to answer my question.

seriously, I said it already, you either ignored it or went past it. I won't even quote it because I shouldn't have to (I said it twice..) and it might be fun letting you try to find it.
