Improving elements of an RPG
Actually this is my first post here, so hi!
 So I figure I'd start off with a question related to my favorite game genre, RPGs!I'm always interested to know what exactly RPG gamers look for when they play, as there are so many different styles out there! Truthfully, I love it when I can spend hours on hours just exploring, finding secrets, and viewing a beautiful and extremely scenic world map. Character development is also a biggy for me, I love being able to customize (usually on the job class side of things). Two big games for me include Ragnarok Online and Final Fantasy XII. So, what is it you want to see come out of future RPGs? What do you love about them (or even hate about them?). Please, elaborate on your answer! Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Yeah!
I feel the same way about cliches and stuff, seeing the same thing over and over in a game really gets annoying after a while. Originality is a plus!Also, that's a first... about the mother and father thing.  Interesting, though!There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Such a wide array of comments, and they're all quite good I must say.
 That's the problem with RPGs these days, there are so many different styles that people just don't know where to begin! I guess it all depends on the target market, either have games for "these" types of RPG fans or "those" types. It must be hard to implement everything!
Also, about minigames, I used to love them myself! Now I don't find the time with them as I'd much rather explore and focus on an amazing plot more than anything. No time for silly minigames unless they fit in with the plot or something else in one form or another! Nice to see all of these views from everyone! This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
