back in the day, I didn't call my games JRPGS or anything like that, I just called them based on the system I was using, not where they came from.

[TheRpgFanatic]

@davidzxx That's what many people did. I'm trying to promote new labels that define RPGs by their different styles of combat and narrative models. When my new website launches the game database will use these labels to categorize the games.

JRPG is a slang term for Console-RPG, the same with WRPG (PC-RPG). In truth such terms didn't exist in the 80's and 90's. What defined RPG's in those days (still is) were Action-RPG and Turn Based-RPG. What makes today very different is the MULTI-PLATFORM (PC & Console [360, PS3]). Games like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Fallout 3, etc.. define the MP's, while FF13 is strictly console (360, PS3). I'm still amazed Console-RPG's are extremely rare on the PC platform, and MMO are NOT my cup of tea.

@putinblood Doesn't matter if it's a "slang term". The point is IT'S RACIST. The term was invented by Western game reviewers who HATE certain games like the Final Fantasy series. The term does not describe game mechanics, only superficial things like art style.

Thank you for this video. Is there any way you can go in the history of voice-acting in rpg games? I'm so tired of people complaining about english dubbing in games and how the english dubbing in games somehow determines the quality of the game. I honestly liked the games where there were no voice-acting because you could imagine what the character sounded like and their own personality and story can unravel in the game but people think I'm crazy because of my opinion.

@yaoilovertash I'll add "video review of computer rpg voice acting" to my To-Do list. But I'll need to acquire several games and systems I don't have, mostly Working Designs titles.

[Firebomber7]

You've got good points. Your facts are dead on.

But, you really come off as a dick in your videos.

[drinkbudyXD]

@putinblood it has nothing to do with console or pc,the reason asian rpg's specifically japanese ones are for consoles is those pple actually work a lot,they dont have a lot of time and most of their games are not intended for people that should have a job and when they are.. their made for hand held consoles,so you got something to do while on the subway or stuff like that

[9snaker]

Ha when I'm finished with my game you'll be screwed! ^^

Cause you need gathering power-ups to be able level up yourself (like every 5th level you need an extra orb or something). Also it'll be Action based like Zelda, Secret of Mana etc. but it'll have items like in Zelda. :D

I'm not sure Japanese is a race...

I just furthered my education on RPGs right here.

[TKnightcrawler]

Okay okay okay, I want you to listen to this.

You said that "console-style RPGs" and "PC-style RPGs" can be released on either console OR PC, and they get their names from the fact that, during their origins, that's where the games primarily originated. Uh... isn't that EXACTLY the same reasoning as calling it a JRPG or WRPG?

[redneckpride4ever]

I suppose I should be a whine ass when people say Irish are drunks. Fuck that foolishness. Fried chicken has African cooking techniques, but I suppose that's racist too since we have the chicken/African stereotype. Fuck off you schmuck. And remember- if you call a pc style rpg a western or American rpg, you're racist garbage.

[redneckpride4ever]

Racist? Oh Jesus, calling console style Japanese as slang when said style was created in Japan. I suppose calling crepes French is racist too. You make a brilliant video but submerge yourself with utterly foolish comments. More whiny idiocy from political correct folks, aka those who invent crap to shine about and invent causes to pass time.
