Oh here we fucking go again.
Jrpgs or wrpgs?
Lmao all the games on the left except one are like, two decades old, how is this supposed to show the West isn't currently stuck in general European fantasy?
I can accept that you might see Nier and Dark Souls as action games but in what world are Xenoblade and Kingdom Hearts not RPGs, you retard?
Totally not stagnant at all.
JRPGS but this literally embarassing.
>make open world for dynamic gameplay(tm)
>add NPCs to interact with and create dynamic situations you can freely interact with
>forget to hire AI programmers
>NPCs reduced to spitting out 5 lines ad nauseum and can not be interacted with unless it is a question-exclamation mark exchange NPC.
Shit's boring as fuck, how can someone feel immersed in these worlds? Take skyrim or so, not only is its world fucking deserted, feels like there are about 20 characters living in a wasteland that is otherwise owned by mr skeltal and his family, but the few NPCs you do encounter exhibit the most immersive breaking behaviour, sometimes so bad it would quite literally have been better for them to have done nothing at all.
MegaTen is literally 'teenager decides the fate of the world'. How is that not a jrpg trope?
