Do you hate JRPGs?

Is anyone here hate JRPGs? i cant stand them.

I cant stand girly looking emo kids saving world. and they based on anime and i hate anime a lot.

they are too girly, childish.

I dislike JRPGs for the gameplay.

I also dislike your reasons for disliking JRPGs.

What a negatively worded post =/

I generally dislike the anime style - mainly because the visual style seems like a celebration of poor anatomy/poor animation. Regardless, there are some great JRPGs out there - and there are several that don't feature an anime art style (depending on your definition of JRPG).

So... I'm just gonna uh... flag this...

yes

Despite what you may think about those characters in JRPGs, the games themselves have paved the way for the genre to become its own monster with fleshed out stories and mechanics. Do you think that games like Mass Effect and Dragon's Age would sell if Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy bombed? They had to get the inspiration for the main mechanic from somewhere. FF7 showed a lot of what the PS1 could do for its time, and I think FFX-2 is one of the most mechanically sound JRPGs around. All of them have a good thing in common: they present a very sound challenge to the player for a while, and a good JRPG can be a tremendous time sink. Plus, Japanese culture might not consider the characters emo.

Short answer? Nope!

Well, seems @professoress spoke the truth in your other thread. Making (negative) threads and then insulting people's opinions. I'm sure you have a good future ahead of yourself!

Ain't nothin' girly about Nocturne. You fucking punch Satan in that game.

As for childishness, some of my favorite things are "childish" so here's me sticking out my tongue.

Man, I love JRPGs.

This reminds me that I bought Bravely Default months ago, and now that I beat Virtue's Last Reward, I really ought to play it.

I don't understand why it seems like most people who insult JRPGs try to be as ignorant as possible while doing so. Curious as to who you're trying to impress.

EDIT: you know what nevermind, this is clearly a troll post. Now I feel dumb.

If you believe JRPG's all have an anime style to them --- you haven't been gaming for long enough.

Or else just missed... like all of the classic JRPG's, and most of the better more recent ones too.

they aint that bad.

Yet another award winning thread from a new user.

And the hits just keep on coming.

Just a few months ago, I tried playing Final Fantasy XII again. After about 15 hours I totally burned out. I just don't like the gameplay all that much. And it seems most JRPGs have a very similar "gameplayloop" and turn based combat. And most the stories and ESPECIALLY characters are fuckin' terrible.
I started despising JRPGs for the same reason I despise Nintendo... Repetition of same concepts and gameplays and IPs and stories over and over and over again till the end of time.
But, for some reason, I want to try Valkyria Chronicles. The setting and fighting system looks different enough but I'm affraid I'll get burned again...

I love fairies, @slade-, I love them.

Hey, Stalker is preeeettyy badass, so he might have a point.

One might even say that Stalker is badass than childish kingdom hearts.

Seriously though, Stalker is pretty rad.

Yeah, you're exactly right!

You're really knowledgeable about this stuff, I'm pretty impressed.

fucking keyblade Donald duck bullshit, im with you son.

I enjoy the gameplay loop of a JRPG on occasion. If I play one per year, I've satisfied my JRPG itch. I usually don't care for the story or many of the characters, but I could say that about most games of any genre.

@thread: My facepalms, here, take them all.

(－‸ლ)

Ahaha

This guy and sonygamer should be friends.

No.

I've played significantly fewer this gen though, partly because fewer are being made for devices I own.

I know he's trolling, but he keeps using the word "childish" in a derogatory way while using a Team Fortress 2 avatar, a game with a pretty whimsical cartoon style. Granted, it's gory, and not actually for children, but it's not trying to deal with themes like "organized religion" and "genocide" and, you know, heavy stuff that Final Fantasy tries to tackle.

Good troll. You convinced some people to attempt serious debate. I'll give you a 3/5 because your grammar needs to be more sophisticated.

Just a tip: A good troll isn't so obvious ;)

@believer258: I hope you realize constructing an ad hominem from a thumbnail pic puts you about half an inch below him on the troll scale :)

I dislike JRPGs slightly less than I dislike this post. Thanks for putting things in perspective.

"Emo?" What year is it? 2005?

Nice gif!

Can someone please just lock this thread, it's not going anywhere.

I fucking lost it

See, I know it's a troll thread, but I'm still going to reply seriously.

No. I thought I did for a while but then I realised they aren't all as joyless as Final Fantasy. It's just a genre that has similar problems to the FPS in that there are an awful lot of stale and uninteresting games.

lol. This is the most /b/ that I've seen on these forums in a long time, thx new account.

Also, read all of Shade-'s post in a Russian accent. It seemed appropriate

I'll just close this now. Also, it's going to be 17 days before this guy posts anything else...nice job flagging!
