There would be basically no difference?

It's not like it's made up of components that have never been seen in a Japanese RPG.
No, please. Let the Bioware fans gloat about an imaginary superiority to JRPGs.
In fairness I've never seen a JRPG where you can seduce an elf with magic tattoos then cheat on him with a hot pirate girl. Although I'm sure one exists somewhere in hentai form.
Romance options are in JRPGs too. I'm a Bioware fan, but this just seems like pointless hate.

Not really hate, just annoying smugness. I'm a big JRPG fan and a big Bioware fan so this seems a bit silly to me really. Although I've gotta say Shale with a rocket fist would be awesome.

Fine, they would add a kid that has no significance to the plot who's only job is to be annoying.

Duncan and Cailan would survive Ostagar and go on wacky side adventures.
There needs to be DA:Kawai edition just for this.

Also, sandal would be a fallen god (if he isnt already!) and a secret unlockable party member (as his stats and skill list would be leagues above everyone else) obtained after beating a hidden boss you can only get to on a golden mabari (which you can train, breed and make them compete in races all across ferelden!)

It would be exactly the same. Let's face it, BioWare's last few games design-wise have been closest as you can get to being JRPG's without actually being one.

Not that there's anything wrong with JRPG's though.

The Arishok would revive 3 times after you killed him and each time you battled him it would take twice as long as the previous time......

Or, there's always the possibility that Alistair would just be Auron and that would be awesome.

Gentlemen, we have the answer.

Onto the next matter of the debate: Weren't you put off by the fact all the romance-able females were either a slut, or an ex-slut who took pride in using sluttiness to kill her prey[footnote]Of slut[/footnote]?

It already was a JRPG before it came out...

http://www.finalfantasyxii.com/

Only the game that DA:O was so similar to had so much more exploration, much more interesting characters, more customisation and ...yeah Airships.

Dragons won't be called dragons they'll be called 'Lupunazins' for no real reason. And there will be one really powerful canon that the 'heroes' won't be able to stop the first time. And it won't be called a canon it'll be called a 'Pofuawf', again for no reason.

Characters would have bigger hair to start, and the game would be several discs long to support the hours of HD cinematics.
It would play like the Dragon Age facebook game....actually, giant swords, pretty big hair, give it a few hours of film and it WOULD be the DA Facebook game!

That's how all media is now. All women are bitches all bitches are sluts and all sluts are whores. It's aggravating as hell because you have all these limp dick morons in positions of influence still angry that Becky wouldn't give them the time of day in high school.

Well we wouldn't have shit trollish flamebaiting threads like this.

OT: There would be more airships and be a steampunk setting with fantasy overtones like FF9/6.

It'd be a hell of a lot worse than it already is...

Seriously though, if a JRPG is done well and can actually draw me into it and do something innovative but so far it's been the same old recycled garbage.

Final Fantasy is the worse example, do not even try suggesting that train-wreck of a series, it had one good game and it wasn't that good. (7)

I don't think this is a bad Idea, I play the games as a turn based game anyways, pause, switch to all charicters, tell this one to rape this guy and go back to the two mages to rape the guy behind him, magic up [if needed], heal up [if needed], REPEAT! See what I mean, just let the middle man back in there and you got an JRPG!! And it would be good if they didn't change anything past what needs to be changed.

In response to allegations that this thread is about hating JRPGs...

The majority of my favorite games (LUNAR, Secret of Mana, Blue Dragon, Final Fantasy[Until they stopped using turn based battles]) are JRPGs. This thread, as I see it, is just an exercise in silliness.

Back on topic...

- The battle with the Archdemon would be accompanied by a full choir chanting its' name and a guitar solo.
