80% nearly complete! Smilie YAY!!

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!! Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

Ah yes, that game that looks really rubbish.

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

I hate all Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, they are all pure muck.

This also looks rather shite...... but what the hell it says Dragon Quest on the front cover and it's on the hottest console about, so no matter how shite it is, it will sell a shit-load.

Pretty trivial news but good of them to keep us posted. Even if I don't want it.

I am sorry but it's just sooo boringly shite.

This game looks fairly awful, to be honest. Give us a proper Dragon Quest and I might start thinking about buying it.

Are you going to give a reason for this, or am I just going to have to poke you repeatedly for your opinion? (starts to poke)

Screwing the rules since 1989.

I love Dragon Quest but this looks pretty crappy to me Smilie

Let me guess, you wanted a graphic whore fest with stiff mellowdrama and a self-admireing stupid plot. You also just wanted to press a button for 15 minutes of gameplay to watch a 18 hour cutsceen.

You know, a REAL RPG! Smilie

Isn't that a bad thing, though? Anywho, I hate this game. It looks exactly like the typical Japanese-y pish that I despise.

No, I hate JRPGs as well, except for a few later 16-bit ones.

Sidepocket, and various JRPG fans, I think the beef an increasing number of people have with these games is that they have become extremely generic. They've all got the same gameplay, they're all got the same setting (near enough), they're all got the same characters, and (crucially for story-driven games) they've all got the same story.

This stuff was grand in '97, but not ten years on. We've had a decade of this pap, now. They all adhere, relatively strictly, to the FFVII formula. They all also fail to match that games' magnificence (though that's getting abit subjective). We tire of the same game over and over again. You never get a JPRG set in like, a disused mental asylum, or a story of a boarding school kid graduating into the (non-fantasy-shite) world, or a grim tale of physical and mental abuse. Or just something different, you know?

Never. Never ever do these pieces of shit stray very far at all from the 'must save world, and/or girl' scenario. Why not? Because that would brake the cookie-cutter mould these games are made from. These are the FIFAs from the far-East, you do realize that don't you? Mass-produced pap for the Japanese-obsessed individuals who'll consume them just because, to one degree or another, they are Japanese, and have that 'vibe'.

So enjoy your game, just don't tell us it isn't generic boring shite, with a crap story, and the illusion of longevity (where in reality, half of those 50-odd hours tend to be spent mundanely running about in fields 'leveling-up' your poxy fucking characters, so they can get past that boss that's been planted there so you couldn't past it without spending hours running about in fields leveling-up your poxy fucking characters, thereby increasing 'play-time' exponentially).

Etc. I could go on. There's so many things I hate about JRPGs these days.

Then your other option are Tokin Rip-Off's then since that is all Western RPG's have to offer, besides the occasonal Space Opra. (Star Wars included)
