Gaming is 180. Gamers are rising up.

A new “jRPG” without any anime influence is a financial and critical success and likely to be a new trend. What a time to be alive.

"American" RPGs usually have a Euro Lead Dev or even a whole team from some weird euro country

My vote is for European RPGs.

I've never been into the cutesy anime Jap shit, seems like its meant for Losers and Queers.

American RPGs used to be great with Fallout and Skyrim, but now they're only making games for trans "people", URMs, and Fat Women.

The French JRPG Expedition 33 blew my mind if it’s actually good. Usually there has to be a Nerd/Engineering bent for westerners to excel. I think you have to give it to euros rn. Cyberpunk sucks btw.

These have objectively superior gameplay to turn-based games imo.

Turn-based JRPGs only existed because of the State of Tech in the 80s/90s

80s - ruinous

90s - SNES couldn't handle many things moving on screen simultaneously.

PS1 - FMVs/CDs/good action gameplay was unthinkable.

If you're controlling more than 1 character, then turn based games are superior. Action games with more than 1 playable character are too chaotic and not challenging at all

yeah, these real time RPGs are confusing to me - mostly amounts to clicking on an enemy and passively watching a battle play out. feels like I should be doing something, but it doesn't really matter most of the time. and requiring the pausing of the game to adjust equipment or whatever is clunky game design.
