My flip flops are so nice and fuzzy......did I mention how I love action games

[RegalSin]

 Are you, um.... RETARDED??

An action game is just a cheap word for a J-RPG. Every game before Falcom was Mario Bros.

A J-rpg is what I am calling an action game, because it was RPG ( the DAD board games ) made into Action
games. All action games, not including a few were all J-rpg types. If not then they were hybrids like Splatterhouse,
Shinobi, or score attack games.

The difference is the abiltiy to return back to the begining of the game, or have a wide variety of actions as well.
Free movement, and free feeling.

.................................................................

Many people mistake J-RPG for turn-based RPG.

The first turn-based RPG games were nationwide,  and was all based off DAD board games.
Like Wizardry for example.  Other games were online games, like Dragon battlers, and a 3d monster
game where you could make and download monsters to fight people online in 3d.

Final Fantasy made popular because the action sequences would play out, instead of being directed
at the player in a FPS. Far East Of Eden made a difference as well as Gain Ground type games.
The same could be said for Shin Mega Tensi.

Their is not such thing as a J-rpg turned based rpg invention, or a FPS rpg J-rpg.
All of these rpgs are just different in presentation, and are all turn based games.

......................

In general games like Kirby, Castlevania, Mario, Conker, Sonic, Boink, Wonder Boy, Sword of Beserker, Jetforce Gemini, Megaman Legends, Beyond Godd and Evil, Metal Gear, Resident Evil, and Rayman all fall under the j-rpg spell. As well as any other game, even beat-em-ups.

Turn-based games are just tbg made by Japanese, or whichever nation they come from.

Just call Rayman a J-rpg and it becomes better to play. Calling it a platformer, just makes it look like another collect the rocks, keep em busy game.

..............

Here is the problem. People minds are commercial blinded. Meaning they follow the Chrono Trigger rule.
If something looks strong, then it is strong, if it looks weak then it is weak. Simple minded thinking.

That was RegalSin's logic, now fly my crystal bats, fly. Search the lands, search the rivers, and search the skies.

Of course two devils will make the punch line, the point I was getting at, is that modern
Platform games are really Action RPG. However their is nothing RPG about them at all. It sloves the greatest question of all. Is Zelda an RPG or Advanture game?

Zelda is a J-rpg and a j-rpg is an Action/Adventure RPG, Go back to your Falcom notes.
Games like Dragon Slayer, and Sorceran carved paved the way for modern action/adventure games. The same could be said about Metal Gear as well.

However people take Metal Gear the wrong way. They think it is an Covert Op, or Action game,
War, or whatever splineter cell is. When Metal Gear is really an J-RPG. Something that is unique and from Japan, that help mold how the common action game is.

Think about it like this. Ever played a comic adventure? About an RPG? How about an Beat-em-up. Put em all together and you get Kirby, Mario, and you are able to use a small amount of processing power.

Lets take a game like "Rise Of the Dragon". which is clearly a Comic Adventure like "Snatcher"
You have sequences in the game where you shoot, move around on a 2d plain, as well as interact with people. In the west we call it point and click games.

You lost me at the first line. I agree that Falcom changed video games though. You always seem to have the beginning of a valid point, and then take it all the way to bumblefuck and back again so that no one can take your ideas seriously anymore.

It's not worth trying to make sense of anything regal posts.......

[kazekirifx]

It's good that we have a thread for RegalSin logic now though. Maybe it's better that we keep it quarantined to this thread from now on. He tends to derail other threads when we start trying to make sense of the brainfucks he posts in them.

I  came up with the idea, that is why I labeled it that. If you are lost then why not make a nation to what you are lost in, instead of being smart mouth.

I came up with this idea, which is why I marked it. If you lose, why not let you get lost in a country, rather than a smart mouth.

Tried running that through from english to chinese, and then back in google translate. Better grammar aside, it still doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Bummer.
