The reasons i don't like JRPG's:
1. I dont have any gaming gear exept PC.
2. Non-realistic character. Just look at them. Either over-happy flowermen,-women or
depressed goth's emos etc. No offence to emod or goths but Im not into it.
3. Combat in first is mostly not in real-time. I like seamless combat and not menues. Secondly the moves that character's or mobs perform are atrocious and epileptic. Sounds most seem to omit are like a cat beign stepped at.
4. Conversations are sometimes atrociously big. I sometimes like big conversations like in Dragon Age. But id like to choose when I should listen to them or not. In JRPG most of the times these conversations are mandatory and you have to listen to at first horrible voice acting and secondly useless text that I don't want to hear. Such conversations should be a choice and not mandatory.
5. I prefer the usual run-of-the-mill fantasy storyline in wRPG's. I understand playing by the same storyline is boring. But in this case story brokes to two part: substance and the way its delivered. For wRPG's the story in substance stays the same but each game has diffrent ways to deliver it. By that way the way how the substance is altered and brought to the audience diffrent games shine or be damned. For JRPG's the story is same but you could not understand the way how they bring the substance to you. Maybe it's culture gap but in general their story's don't appeal to me.
I admit I've never played a JRPG and now maybe theis whole rant is rendered useless but when you constantly encouter news, threads, people who praise JRPG's you eventually get interested and research. But from the pictures, wikipedia articles, the style etc I have formed my oppinion on the genre. I don't go mental over the genre but i don't like it. It's just the way it is. And Onyx please accept that some people don't like just like people don't like diffrent food, music, etc.
