So what do you think of J-RPG's? I personally do not often play them, but I hear split opinions. One of them (which is biased, heavily, kinda redundant) is that it is 'so much like anime', which is well...untrue, unless based around an anime. But people talk about great stories, but bitch about turn-based combat.
Me? I'm grey.
What about you, player?

The basic formula premise is fine. The basic formula being: -Focus on narrative -Separation of you the player from the Main Character -Party of characters which interact with each other Far too often though, the actual narrative is full of shit because of Japan's need to over the top EVERYTHING. The narrative and the main character sound like they were designed by seven year olds: "My guy is a master swords man! And he can shoot lasers from his eyes! And he can breath fire! And he can fart lightning! And he can X! And he can Y! And he can Z!"
