What needs to be asked it, "What makes a game an RPG?"
I know, right?  These days, most video games use some sort of XP system into their respective gameplay.

In my opinion, RPGs definitely require:

  • Good storyline
  • Skill system
  • Equipment system
  • Side quests
Optionally, they need:
  • Character customization
  • Morality system/decision impact


Please check out the games I have for sale.

I own this one but haven't played it yet, and I've heard it plays pretty differently from the others so that's why I didn't include it.  You would still consider it an RPG tho?  I'll plead ignorance on this one.  :)

became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the
desire to be very grown up.” ― C.S. Lewis

Oh yeah....  I found it VERY much like the main games....  The combat is actually almost identical....  You just basically always have weapons....

Yakuza's a RPG? I've never played it so I don't know anything about it. I may need to check it out, for some reason I thought it was a GTA type of game. ha

An action RPG yeah....  Combat at a glance really resembles a beat'em up but there are meters to manage for performing special attacks and stat gear to equip and lots of story dialogue....  Its basically a spiritual successor to Shenmue....

Yep, and you level up, gain new skills, take on a TON of sidequests.  The fights are even "encounters" that take place in an enclosed area of the street you're on.

All this Yakuza talk is making me weep for Kenzan and 5....  Sega doesn't love America....  :(
