If Dragon Age was a JRPG

[ramboman88]

Trying not to do repeats...

There would be a victory song and the characters would dance and/or do a pose after defeating a group of enemies

The dog would have a broadsword

EVERY enemy would drop money when defeated

You can walk in the word map, controlling a chibi version of your main character

Airships, at least 2

Lelliana wears pink

plantmonsters

Better cover art,

You can't customize main character,

There would be a crapload of minigames, some of which would be obligatory in certain parts of the game.

Your characters wouldn't fight directly, but would instead have a deck of cards which can suck up monsters and have them under mind controll. Human enemies would also have a deck of cards. The final boss is some dude that decided to cut up and glue together the most badass monster cards.

Though guns are readily available only one of your characters uses them, and even then it'll probably be half sword too.

- You'd actually see the naughty bits during the sex scenes. (But only if you import the original Japanese version)

- You'd actually see the naughty bits during the sex scenes. (But only if you import the original Japanese version)

And then you'd get arrested for possessing obscene content. Cus they'd all be lolis.

 

[OManoghue]

everyone would look like Fenris.

 

[gbemery]

-The lands would be filled with people who looked 15
-There would be more emo themes then you could shake your bangs at
-The main character would be hit on constantly by girls who look like they are 15 and he would be completely oblivious to it.
-All the voices would be generic and "zzzzzzz"
-All the weapons would be impractically huge
-All the armor would have random and inconvenient holes in them
-All the attack would have excessive screaming and bravado

 

[gundamrx101]

-Turn based
-HUGE lack of customization.
-Over the top cinematics, amazing CGI. PS2 grphics.
-HikaruUtada would make the opening song (Only plus in my books)
-Unnessecary melodrama and no way to avoid it though dialogue choices.

 

[CM156_v1legacy]

Merril would be underage rather than just looking like she was.

Your dog could talk

Everyone would have huge eyes.

 

[Maxtro]

Wow, lots of people haven't actually played a JRPG.

Yes the game would not allow you to customize your character, would have a linear path and not allow you to make decisions. But you know what, minus the customization part, that's pretty much DA2. Doesn't matter who you side with, you still have to fight two end bosses and nothing you do really matters.

Huge weapons and party members who you can't customize, already in DA2

The English voice track would probably suck but the Japanese one would be good.

Hawke and certain other characters would be younger.

Cut-scenes would be more frequent and be look amazing.

Hawke would actually have special powers like those seen in the trailers.

Magic effects would be more impressive.

The ending would be 1,000 times better.

 

[Axolotl]

Then it would be entirely linear and consist of filler dungeons designed to waste your time and story sections where alternate between whining about their personal problems and infodumping world lore that has no connection to anything you'll actually be doing. So it's pretty much just be the same. Oh wait, JRPGs often have good art direction so that'd be different.

 

[demotion1]

I thought DA2 was very JRPG-like. I would say it is a JRPG with choices. Not a good thing imo.

 

[darth.pixie]

What do you mean what if?

Ah...No mage would ever be "evil" (except the designated villain which would exist) but they'd still be discriminated against for no reason.

Squeaky voices.

Hawke would either be related to darkspawn or qunari or something equally improbable.

More skin for female armor, more spikes on male.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

-It would be exactly the same, and people would whine about every aspect of it anyway.

-Yet somehow, there would be an airship.

lol, that made me laugh out loud literally.


OT: man people love a good jrpg bashing...

meh it'd be fun i'm sure, epic and big, airships and everything running on magic.

 

[Drakane]

I disappeared for a good 5 years playing WoW... (I probably wasn't with it b4 my exodus but) what per say is a JRPG?? I am not trolling or being an ass... From what I have figured its Japanese rpg meaning fucked up hair and... what?

 

[DefinitelyPsychotic]

I hated Dragon Age: Origins to begin with.
I couldn't even bear the thought of it being a JRPG...

 

[Mr Pantomime]

The physics engine would break, being instead focused on supporting the characters impossibly spiky hair. About 10 minutes into the game the game world would collapse in on itself due to this and youll plunge endless into the chasm on the minus world.

Hair would still look great though.

 

[NathLines]

- Leliana's campfire song would be a JPOP number.

I view this as a good thing as that was the most awkward thing I have ever seen in a game. I don't believe it could be any worse.

Really, though? The only thing that would change is the artstyle/design of the game. DA 2 is pretty much a JRPG. Except that you have more choices to alter the dialogue and that you can customize your characters appearance/gender.

 

[Ninjamedic]

Music could be good.


And the villains could be actually interesting.

 

[Pearwood]

Merrill wouldn't have that accent. It would be highed pitched and incite rage in all who heard it.

Hehe it just made me feel like I was watching Torchwood. Still don't know why they became Welsh between games.

I dunno, it plays more or less exactly like a certain JRPG (Final Fantasy 12). It even uses the same gambit system. You don't need to apply for a licence to use your weapons and spells though...

Huh that's kind of the opposite opinion to mine... I thought DA2 was WRPG to the core and DA1 played a bit more like a JRPG. Hell with leaving all but one character autoattacking at a time while you pick out skills for each one to use you can make an argument that DA1 was turn based.

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

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.
