Mass Effect, Morrowind and KotOR are all garbage.

Dark Souls is more JRPG than RPG and doesn't count.
Dark Souls is more Western than it is Japanese.
Name a single thing other than the aesthetic that is more Western than Japanese

Name a single thing that makes it more Japanese than Western.

A JRPG is still an RPG.

Final Fantasy and Morrowind are two completely different types of games.

There's more than one way to make an RPG. There's no set in stone tickbox when making an RPG.

Quote

Dark Souls has a fixed role you play, you do not really have a say in the story beyond trivial things like "should I kill Solaire for no reason or not?"

Fixed roles aren't JRPG exclusive traits, and custom characters aren't mandatory for something to be a WRPG.
The Witcher has a fixed character role, is that a JRPG? No, it absolutely isn't.

Quote

Dark Souls is mostly based on skill, and not the level you are, further alienating it from RPGs in general.

Oh look, another thing that doesn't dictate whether an RPG is a JRPG or WRPG.
Dark Souls is about patience and not mindlessly running into enemies.

Quote

It is not open world in the way a game like Morrowind is, and although it is "open" it does not give you the freedom that a game like Morrowind does.

Yet another thing that doesn't dictate whether an RPG is a JRPG or WRPG.
Mass Effect isn't open world. The Witcher 2 isn't open world. They're both WRPGs.
Not having an open world doesn't mean they aren't WRPGs, nor is it a WRPG trait.

You have a very narrow view of what an RPG is.

-No but there are common traits that make games RPGs.

You keep using "RPG" as though WRPGs are the only type of RPG.

Quote

-In order to be an RPG you have to have some say in the creation of your character, objectively. Dark Souls really gives you nothing to differentiate your characters outside of weapons and whether or not you choose to kill random NPCs.

You do realise Demon/Dark Souls/Bloodborne have character creation, class selection and character upgrading, right?

Quote

-RPGs have typically never dealt in skill alone, whereas Dark Souls does.

Okay. That doesn't mean anything.
The Witcher 2 and 3 require an amount of skill when in combat.
This doesn't mean they aren't WRPGs.

Quote

-Mass Effect is more open world than Dark Souls.

I think you'll find it's actually the other way around.
Mass Effect is broken up into separate areas, whereas DS/BB is completely open and explorable.

Quote

My view of RPGs comes from what RPGs originally were, which are games like Dungeons and Dragons.

Your view of RPGs is very outdated, narrow minded and wrong.

Dark Souls is in a category of it's own. The "Git Gud" category.

Great game, but two things that annoy be about it when nostalgia glasses are off.

1. It's like FF 13 in that it's nothing but narrow pathways for god knows how long.

2. It's way too easy. Holds your hand a lot.

Ehhh I enjoyed the story. It was a great game and I'm playing through it again (HD remake on PS4) and enjoying it to the fullest.

But to say it is the best FF and not acknowledge its flaws is a little silly.

Its not like Final Fantasy has ever been all about the open world aspect anyway.

And i wouldnt say its a hand holder, definitely easier than other FF's but some of its bosses are among the hardest in the series.

Ásgeirr · May 29, 2015, 09:18:45 PM

Its his first FF too i believe <.<

Luciana · May 29, 2015, 09:23:14 PM

It's a good Final Fantasy to start with. And yeah it is easy, but yeah some bosses are tough.

Verbatim · May 29, 2015, 09:25:07 PM

"Hand-holder" is tossed around far too often.

FFX is the only FF I've ever played (pretty much), though, so, I don't have the other games in the series to compare it to.

Azure · May 29, 2015, 09:25:39 PM

Verbatim · May 29, 2015, 09:26:57 PM

The only games in that series that I hear any praise from at all are III, VII, and X.

And by III, I think I mean VI... because that's what it is in Japan... Right?

True Turquoise · May 29, 2015, 09:27:31 PM

Eh, I wouldn't say it 'Holds your hand' Just... It was slightly easier than most?

I dunno its been ages last one I played was LR.
