wow, notice how all of the jrpg fanboys are posting on a friday night. you guys must be closet furries if you have that much time on your hands. anyway, jrpgs are far too story-based and linear. you have no choice in how to act or influence the game world. honestly, they can't even be considered true rpgs. they are just an animu series in game form, which is why you fanboys obsess over them. their gameplay is complete trash.
