JRPG is still a roleplaying game, you just get given your role like being the star of a stage play. The story is set, if you are MacBeth you STAY MacBeth.JRPG stands for joke of a role playing game. I don’t care about the genre but a lot of people do. I’d say let it be as it is just don’t call it a role playing game when it clearly isn’t. If people love it, why change it?

Western RPGs are (trying to be) Improv Theatre. Where every performance is different and people make things up on the fly.
Both are acting, and you don't get to say one is not.
What’s going to be better than Chrono Trigger? Nothing. That’s why.
I mean, this is also the forum where some retards started to treat Baldur's Gate 3 as a "Playstation exclusive" and then went on how it will be better than Starfield. I am still impressed by that level of reaching.Yet again this retarded thread comparing apples to oranges...
It wasn't when it came out, but ironically it is NOW. What with the popularity of fake leveling in western RPGs, it is now fine for the West to have a game where the characer doesn't get stronger and still called an RPG by simply faking the stat increases.By this definition Mario 64 is an RPG.
We didn't have a proper camera and control for 3D third person games at the time, the ones we had were basic or completely shit so everyone switched to free roaming navigation once they saw it on SM64, it's a different story since we DO want jrpgs to be as they are.There's quite a bit more meat to an adventure where you've got a say in what happens rather than an adventure where everything's mostly decided by the developers.
Besides, there are quite a lot of cinematics in BG3. You can still have the cinematic, adventure experience you desire... it's just that you control how it goes about.
It's also very good to take cues from games that were wildly successful and influential. I think the gaming industry would be in a much worse place if people decided to ignore the innovations to 3D camera and control Nintendo made with Mario 64 and OOT because "variety is good for the industry"
Back when PS1 was new, all its exclusives were accidental as the same games can't run on Nintendo hardware. They were exclusives THEN, they are exclusives NOW. The fact that Sony didn't pay for the privilege doesn't change that.I mean, this is also the forum where some retards started to treat Baldur's Gate 3 as a "Playstation exclusive" and then went on how it will be better than Starfield.

Dude, calm down.Back when PS1 was new, all its exclusives were accidental as the same games can't run on Nintendo hardware. They were exclusives THEN, they are exclusives NOW. The fact that Sony didn't pay for the privilege doesn't change that.
For a period of time nearly all 3rd party games run on both Xbox and Playstation hardware, because they could. Now the hardware differentiation caused by Series S is re-making the split once again. This is just reality of how console gaming works.
Until proven otherwise, BG3 is a PS exclusive due to Xbox hardware limitations. This was what exclusives used to mean. You couldn't run Sonic on SNES even if you wanted to. (Someone ported a Sonic level to SNES but only after halving the sprite sizes.)
I am just stating facts on the ground. i am not sure why you need to fabricate the premise that i was somehow over-reacting.Dude, calm down.
Like here, just one small, completely missable interaction in the game:
If you dont steal from the child, the dialogue still plays but you dont get the option to give back the pendant. And yes, you can influence tons of things.Wait a minute, the dialogue options appears only when you steal an item from a child, then proceed with the conversation? Can you influence a lot of things like that?
What "every"?Nah, the problem isn't freedom there, it's the fact that every game has to be some anime shit.
He is right. jRPGs are linked to Japanese culture and cultural tropes. Women behave in a way that mimics idols, men are brooding and “dark”.What "every"?
Where are you buying your games anyway? Android store?
Because your post read like you were agitated. BG3 is not an exclusive, no matter how much some Sony-fans want it to be, just because it's not out on Xbox on the same day. And then to compare it to Starfield, which is a completely different type of game, is just sad. And that's what I was making fun of. All of this console wars bullshit is seemingly getting even more retarded than it has been before.I am just stating facts on the ground. i am not sure why you need to fabricate the premise that i was somehow over-reacting.
EDIT: In any case, writing lengthy responses is my way of having fun. Something that means responding to posts that might have been light hearted and/or sarcastic.
There is currently no release date for BG3 on Xbox. That makes it an exclusive by every metric. It might end up being a timed exclusive, but it still is exclusive. As i said, historically exclusives were not bought directly but was caused by hardware differences. Robocop was available in many consoles but they were all different to each one as separate games, not comparable with each other.Because your post read like you were agitated.

It's always been this retarded, tribalism turns people into apesBecause your post read like you were agitated.

Do you know what exclusive means?There is currently no release date for BG3 on Xbox. That makes it an exclusive by every metric. It might end up being a timed exclusive, but it still is exclusive.

Robocop was available in many consoles but they were all different to each one as separate games, not comparable with each other.
Thus just because Sony didn't purchase LEGAL exclusivity, doesn't make the game not an exclusive. It just simply became a DE-FACTO exclusive, due to hardware issues. Final Fantasy 7 can't run on SNES, so it is on Playstation as de-facto-exclusive. And Playstation didn't BUY FF7 exclusivity. (They did for the remake but that is a separate issue.)
If you know something i don't, then tell me.Do you know what exclusive means?

I am playing BG3 right now on a platform that is not Playstation. How is that making it exclusive "by every metric"?.There is currently no release date for BG3 on Xbox.

That was the FFX clone, right? I vaguely remember it. Was it a side story that ran parallel to the Fellowship?LOTR: Third Age
That's actually accurate yes, and a term fanboys adore. "it's still exclusive if we put this asterisk on it"If you know something i don't, then tell me.
Because currently there is no release date for BG3 on Xbox Series. That makes it console exclusive to Playstation. it might come out on Xbox later on, but it would not change the exclusivity until then.
if you think exclusivity only meant legally enforced paid exclusivity or first party exclusivity, you are probably too young to remember a time when consoles are not just fixed hardware PCs.
K.Making Chrono Trigger level JRPG is a lost art at this point.
If they will make those, there will be no complaining at all.
