How is this an ARPG and a JRPG?

[Dead Goat]

The two genres are literally opposed to each other. This makes no sense.

[Katitoff]

The thing with player tags is anyone can add whatever tag they like.

This is very much TPP ARPG.

[Vox Maximus]

They just tag JRPG anything made by Japan with some degree of RPG elements in it. Stupid, I know.

[MJAndre]

...I wasn't aware Action was a race. Or that Japanese was a genre.
They... Are not polar opposites. JRPGs are NOT ALL TURN-BASED.

[Vanessa]

I think I can see why Japanese devs hate that term now

[Livy]

Can't it be both?

Like the tales games are obviously JRPG but the combat in those varies and is more actiony than the usual ff game.

There is Trials of Mana which is also a jrpg but again with an action combat.

T H I S.

I'm so sick of people assuming that JRPG somehow has to mean inherently turn-based/Active Time Battle combat system.

Star Ocean is an action JRPG. Terranigma on the SNES was an action JRPG. Like you mentioned, the Mana games and the Tales of... games are *action JRPGs*.

Falcom's Dragon-Slayer for anyone wondering.

Kinda interesting that Falcom probably would have been a power-house now in the gaming sceene hadn't their CEO been an idiot and skipped out on both windows and nintendo in favor of the japanese equivalent of PC at the time.

They also lost a contract with think it was D&D because their game contained art that had used dnd manual art as reference.

Sadly enough their more recent CEO's have also gutted their music departement...

Its an action game. But it also has the job system of FF and loot like Diablo.


But action is the main focusi would say.

[Rolls]

Those tags are user-defined... they are not set by the devs...

it was always ninche company with ninche games. music too good . with low budget yet superpolished arcade like experince in gameplay department .


music was main selling point in old falcom games .

[Ninban]
