Why do people love JRPG's so much?

Hey, I've played that game before!TheCrimsonKoopa

It's not the story it's the way the story is told, everyone knows there will always be a bad guy and a good guy, the bad guy 99% of the time will try to do something that offends the good guy (Destroy the world, detstory his city, become a god whatever) it's the way it's told.haris12121212

perhaps if the good guy was more open minded, he wouldn't mind the bad guy becoming one of those. good guys these days. cant allow any bad guy to have any bit of fun. i mean, its just one hometown. im sure theres pleanty more out there waiting to be discovered.

[QUOTE="Zhengi"]Why do people love shooters? All you do is go around getting weapons and shooting each other. There is usually an invading force that one side has to fight against and lots more shooting. Grab this gun, grab that one, shoot, duck, shoot, shoot, shoot, jump, shoot, shoot, grab another gun, etc. Generalizing FTLArisShadows

my favorite RPG of all time. also the ony one i beat. makes me feel good about myself. as long as i dont look at the Lemmings gamerscores. mines only like 105.

I do not like other peoples cultures, therefore, I refuse to play any game that is created by a foreigner.KeyWii

i never like star ocean, maybe its just me (probably is) but it didnt interest me and the fighting was kinda clunky for me. i prefer TOS a lot more. maybe its cause im not a heavy RPG gamer.well, star ocean did score lower than ToS and i think its cause of battle system. o well, i sold it. and now i tried to play Tales of the abyss but i got stuck with no items, had to start over, and the loading time and sometimes lag is drivng me insane so now im playing my wii and 360

EDIT: actually i liked star ocean. i just got caught up in my frustration. i like it but its not that great though. didnt take the time to beat it even with a strategy guide

Hell, look at Xenogears.  That had it's share of cliches but it broke through them or circumvented them pretty well.

And it was one of the first that I can think of where you end up more or less fighting god.

Because they are close minded and only enjoy things "Made in the US".

Owned.

You can generalise for any genre. Everyone has different tastes, so why attack them because you dissagree?

I for the most part think JRPG's are pathetic.  They are for kiddies, boring, graphics suck.  There is a lot of people wanting Blue Dragon for the 360, I'm not one of them but admitt I might buy it if I can get it at a good deal, but will never pay full price for it.

I like WRPG's a lot better, more for older crowds and much more involving.

But this is just my opinion, and just like bung holes, everyone has one.

So what ever style you like, that is all that matters, and your opinion is just that, an opinion.
