no. I don't want him to suffer through it and I don't want to suffer through his review with 3 times as much bile because he was nagged into reviewing Final Fantasy.

JRPG fangirl, so you bet I do! <3

He's never reviewed what I would consider a proper JRPG (I don't recognise Valkyria Chronicles or Demon's Souls as RPGs), so it was would blow my mind to see him tear FFXIII a new one!
TWEWY isn't a JRPG?! He reviewed that, too.

Anyways, I'd love to see his reaction, not a review, to Lost Odyssey's dream sequences.

And your username totally gives away your JRPG fandom. Because it gives away your Japan fandom.
Hmmm. I haven't actually played it yet, to my surprise, I suppose it's close enough to a JRPG. It looked closer to a fighting game (with some walking around to get to these battles), but it's labelled as action role-playing, so I'll take your word for it.

He would react to LO dream sequences negativley, as he does everything (which is why he is so dear to our hearts!), mostly because he is a game critic, not a literary critic.

I was once a Japanophile, in the before-time, when I actually watched anime. But your point is valid and does betray my otaku status.
it did feel like a fighting game to me. i love every second of it.

Wow! it's 50/50! I thought it would be a resounding "YES!" :p
EDIT: or at least it WAS 50/50 when I posted this...

I'm going to say no. Too predictable. We already know he won't like it and we know how he feels about JRPGs and their tropes, so we can probably guess what jabs he'll take. The video would be boring.
Unless Yahtzee promised not to make any of the jabs he's ever made about JRPGs again and approach it from a whole different angle (by which I mean attack it for different reasons), I can't imagine the review to be that enjoyable, except in a really shallow way to people who really hate Final Fantasy games.

Alright...reasons is a bad idea:

1.Yahtzee hates any role playing game from Japan that has characters of the stereotypical archetypes seen a in a majority of games in the genre not to mention the predictable turn based combat and somewhat predictable plot. He made it very clear in I believe his review of Super Paper Mario

2.Yahtzee hates it when people get together in masses and request him to review a game. (See cases: Borderlands, Brawl, and CoD 4). Further adding fuel to the fire in terms of pissing him off with something a good majority of us knows that he doesn;t like to begin with isn;t a bright idea

3.The game isn't even out yet. The game comes out in roughly a month and from his venting on the E3 08 video he did, he doesn't want to trepidate anywhere near the game.

If the majority of you decide to spam his inbox with requests to review the game, I assume he will make a video to complain and rightfully point out reasons he doesn't have to listen to the general masses.

So, short answer: NO

Long answer: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I don't think it would be a good idea, mainly because nearly everyone who watches his reviews knows his opinions on JRPG's anyway, and I don't think he will say anything that he hasn't already mentioned in his "The world ends with you" review.

You want to review FF13? Why not just go play in the deadliest hallway ever?

It's the same thing. :V

In all seriousness? FFXIIIzomgwtf is bad even for a Final Fantasy. It's about as stereotypically JRPG as your average Persona game. Moreso in that it's a complete let down in terms of actually being a /game/.

Would he pan it? Yes. So would every other sane person on the planet. Because (*GASP*) it's bad. I'd only say he'd like reviewing it if he enjoy doing Too Human.

I watch ZP because I like the humour, not because I want to know whether he likes the game. It makes no difference to me what game he reviews.

considering he's avoided just about every square game since he started (except for twewy), i doubt he even will, i don't care if he does or not

I don't want him to, not for any other reason than when he plays a game of a genre he doesn't like, the review simply isn't as funny.

His critique is FAR more exacting and halarious when it's for a game he honestly enjoys. In that case he goes into specific detail with passion. He's at his funniest making fun of stuff he enjoys than stuff he does not.

He didn't enjoy Wolfenstein and that was the most awesome review I have ever seen!

Well based on Yahtzees earlier indications on JRPGs, a highly anticipated game like FFXIII would give him the chance to rant a rant so... "rantly" that he might actually have to invent one or more new words to sucsessfully review the game.
