Shorter RPGs with loads of post-game content are way better than bloated RPGs with nothing to do after the story ends.

It's more of an RPG than Trails or Persona will ever be.

Nah, It's better to have tons of stuff to do and once the game is over, it's over. I don't want to be dicking around in post game with no story progression, if there is story progression that's great.

>>3788257
wtf, That was over once it was over.
>>3788259
Fighting Lavos at different instances doesn't qualify as ultra post game content
>>3788258
it's been awhile since I played this, but I thought it was over once it was over.
Unpopular opinions huh? I got a few....

>WRPGs for the most part are cope based self insertion fantasies developed by inadequate insecure men.
I met the dudes who worked on the LoL rpg, and Paul Kwon was a 5'2, hunched over dude, covered in zits who sounded like Squidward.

>Runs, Nuzlockes, and bullshit like that were for poor kids who couldn't buy other games

>We need less human protagonists and more mutants
>We need more REDOs like FF7:Remake and Rebirth
Anyone who thinks otherwise is a nostalgia fag that can't see that the story had been expanded upon and altered for the better. Also it was funny to see Cloud's stoicism broken by awkward situations.

This is the nature of most popular JRPGs though
Fans make up theories that are just their own bs interpretations too far out there.
Evident especially among FF8 fans

It's far worse in the case of pokemon.

People making up bullshit lore about lavendertown while it's dull in game.

Meanwhile crazy shit is like the gym leaders laying waste to Saffron city and fusing the birds into a horrible amalgamation in manga.

I searched for JRPGS with happenings like manga instead of dealing with the droll crap in game.

no, there's like a shitload of stuff that only opens up after the last boss is defeated. if it's been so long you can't remember this then maybe it's time for a replay, that game's good as hell

There are storyfags and gameplayfags in jrpgs
Storyfags make the game last longer thru discussions and fan theories, while gameplayfags usually had a strong start but with a sharp decline

You can not like it all you want, but Action-RPGs are well established sub genre. What I've seen of Kingdom Hearts looked painfully lame but that doesn't make it not an RPG.

Lunar 2 has the best post game content because it doesn't over shadow the main story but gives you a good reason to revisit earlier places, pick up old party members and do some bonus stuff which gives a satisfying epilogue to things.

Action RPGs are a hybrid genre. They aren't "RPGs". Just be sure to refer to them correctly and you'll save a lot of pedantic vitriol.

Stop *being* a retard. Bringing in features of other genres diminishes the features inherent to RPGs, namely the separation of player skill and character skill. Now, make another midwit chart.

Pot, kettle, etc. An RPG can bring in elements of other genres. Everything single video game genre known to man does that, why do you think RPGs are some massive exception?

With an RPG, I can play a musical master with perfect pitch and rhythm, even if I'm the most tone deaf player. I can play a genius if I'm a drooling retard. I can play a swordmaster when I have noodle arms and the reflexes of a geriatric.
RPGs are conceptually different than most video games because they are games that predate vidya and exist within the mind.
Get it, kiddo?
