I love the rpg genre and especially the japanese one. Despite that sometimes they can be a little too colorful or seemingly childish i think they stand out due to their almost every time exceptional gameplay and grandiose storylines. I was lucky enough to have played so many jrpgs in my life including some best hits such as Wild ARMs, the early FF series (under Squaresoft), Legend of Dragoon, Breath of Fires series, Hack, Lufia, Grandia etc.
But nowadays i think that developers are lost inside their own will to stand out with extraordinary and overcomplicated gameplays and battles systems, that they forget what a really attractive gameplay is in the first place!
For example when i first laid my eyes on Resonance of Fate i was in awe! Amazing steampunk environments, wonderful music, nicely designed characters ... i think thats enough for a first impression. Aaaand here comes the battle system! MY FUCKING DOG! Come on u guys! If you want a character to jump just make a damn command for the jump action, and not press-the-square-to-select-the-anchor-location-and-square-again-to-confirm-then-square-to-jump!!!! Thats just ridiculous! Yes i understand the need to make something innovative but if you make our lives hard just for a jump then its not worth it! I ve found myself wishing not to find any enemies cos the battle system is too needlessly tiresome!
And what's with the leveling thing?! Why do you have to mess with everything?! Sphere levels, profession levels and shit! A character battles, he gains EXP he levels up. SO SIMPLE!!! Everybody can make his life hard, we dont need u companies to do that for us! We need you to entertain us so be fucking entertaining!
Oh I almost forgot! *Grabs a Megaphone: A world map is a world map! We need a damn environment so we can explore it in real time by controling the main character! We dont need focking 2D shitty pics to move around like on a boardgame.. guess what if u need that WE'D PLAY A FOCKING BOARDGAME!!! Give a damn FF9 world map to show you what it means to explore outside of towns!
And if you think that im exaggerating i dare you! Play a battle of Grandia 2 and the a battle of FFXIII and if you enjoy the gameplay of the second one better then i ll donate all of my collection of games! (kidding it's not my fault if you are screwless)!
