They are not even a blip on the NPD radar outside Asia. I'll wait and see if the Wii gets a library of quality games, but you couldn't pay me to play a JRPG. If Wii can prove its a viable console, and not a gimmick, I'll pull the trigger. |
1. Not all JRPG's have turn based combat. It's not really a bad thing. It makes it possible to have more intense attacks, and a strategic approach.
2. Cartoony characters? What? Have you only seen blue dragon or something?
(wich was anime not cartoon. Not that people here would understand the difference)
Not that cartoony character magically reduces the quality or the difficulty of games. Just look at Zack & Wiki.
3. I have played Oblivion on my pc. It is a huge world filled with a million copies of the few unique elements in the game. Like the fact that it only has 2-3 unique dungeons. Less than 5 voice actors. Virtually no rpg elements (as i said dumbed down for the casuals). lvl balancing wich makes lvling pointless.
Not to mention that all the gates are the same.
4. Alot of people outside Japan can stand those games. Just look at the PS2 (otherwise known as JRPG heaven). When someone asks if they should buy one the most important question to ask them is usually if they like JRPG's.
5. Maybe it's not a blimp on the NDP radar, but that is a bad thing. That only shooters sell in bulk worldwide makes devs more afraid of taking risks. Wich
is why almost everyone are making shooters. So dull. 360 Fans are probably overjoyed about this.
"Yay we killz teh plattfojmers, and the rpg's. Shewters forever."

Why are you here again? |
1. Well that, Sotc,J&D,JRPG's etc. My favourite games of all time are FFIX & Grandia.
2. I was in a hurry because my sister wanted the pc.
3. Well i was trying to choose a primary console. Thanks for making the decision that much easier.
