Like, I played Armored Core 2, and aside from being about big robots (which is obviously a very Japanese thing) I could have sworn it was made by a Western company. Mostly because the movement sucks, but still. Japanese RPGs were heavily influenced by Wizardry and to a lesser extent Ultima. So they were always born from Western games. Ironically the Japanese style of RPG in the 80s were action RPGs like Dragon Slayer. You can even find old reviews in Western PC magazines talking about how Japanese RPGs are more arcadey and action oriented. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss <cite>ssjevot posted [p:979975649] in What makes...
