The idiot who made the image grossly fucked up when choosing what game's images to include. While Witcher 3 fails as an RPG it makes little sense to mention it while talking about "trash visuals". And while the combat of New Vegas is only servicable, its world is certainly not boring. And Elden Ring's combat is certainly not awful.

On the other side, Persona 5 has a less likeable cast than previous Persona games and FFX has no really interesting characters and its world map is simply boring and a total decline from previous FFs (one of the game's biggest flaws). Also, the combat is less varied in JRPGs overall.

I could go on and on here, but that's gonna have to do.
This is why you should not ignore Perception. It's bait, son.

A guy with an anime avatar, and who posts as much in the jrpg section as he does in the general rpg section, posts some dumb take on Western vs. Jap rpgs and I'm supposed to know off the bat that he doesn't agree with it himself?

This is a thread for posting a potentially unorthodox opinion in order to trigger some people. Not to post other people's takes (that you think are funny/dumb) for a laugh.

Take notes, Lhynn, you dumb nigger.
If that were all it was actually used for, it wouldn't be nearly this long.

It's true that some posters keep shitting it up with unfunny crap. You know, the whole "I'm pretending to like Skyrim THIS much, because that is just super funny" type of garbage.

JRPGs should be called RPGs without the "J" and RPGs made in the West should be called WRPGs or EANARPGs (European and North American RPGs). Japanese RPGs are closer to the first and best RPGs than WRPG/EANARPGs.

I assume it's one of those 4D jokes where the real punchline is IWD2 in the combatfags section?
