Well-put point. RPG isn't quite fitting for most games it is applied to. I have to say I've had a strong itch to pay some D&D lately and it's annoying to have friends who always want you to DM. The first FF is as close to RPG as you get in my book. Lost my train of thought. Heh.

I'm going to disagree. Even though I wasn't into it, I remember the beginnings of D&D; my friends were all about their characters. So, regardless, an RPG, IMO, is a type of game that is based around character development. I don't use D&D and RPG synonymously, but I do believe they go hand-in-hand because of the content. If FF is about character development, then they're an RPG. If someone is a D&D nazi, then they need to get over the use of the RPG label IRT other games. Linux, Windows and OSX are all OSs just like Morrowind, FF and Fable can all be RPGs.

I don't know, I've never been able to apply an RPG label to a futuristic anime-style game. Just can't. They're awesome games, but I don't put them in the old-school RPG genre. But that's just me and how I classify them. Not an attack against them.

Didn't mean it as an attack on the FF series dude. I was just stating that I pretty much agree that FF is not what I'd consider a RPG. I like the series (for the most part, I don't care much for X or X-2).
Plus I wasn't just meaning FF.

I'd consider Fable more of an RPG because of the more choices you can make going more torward good, evil and even neutral. Both KotoR I'd consder an RPG for sure.

My response was to tayker's disagreement. You are not allowed to disagree me, I shall grind your bones to dust!

Why does an RPG have to be fantasy based? Star Ocean was pretty decent, I consider that an RPG. There's a reason for labels, labels should be generic, like RPG, FPS, RTS, etc. When you start putting borders on things, then the creativity suffocates and the fans suffer. Bottom line, drix, or whatever his name is, frodo and orcs don't need to be an RPG requirement. I might not like FF, but I do think they belong under the RPG flag. Unless someone is so devoted to one game that they don't want to ruin the elitist vibe by letting other games share in the label?
