I want to play this game too.

What is your favorite RPG and why?

Final Fantasy VIII. Despite the flaws that it has, like not really wanting to use magic because you junction that stuff to your stats, I love the game. The futuristic environment, some of the best cut-scenes in a game, Squall (gets way more hate than he should, most of his dialogue are his own thoughts and not actually spoken until disc 3 game), Triple Triad is the most addicting game within a game I've ever played, dungeons are mostly not an annoyance to explore, the environments are well-made and different from each other, the story while flawed is very intriguing, the soundtrack is probably my favorite soundtrack ever, the scenes are all great, man, talking about it makes me want to play it again.

What subgenre is your favorite and why?

of RPG or game in general? The Devil May Cry series has my favorite type of gameplay, so that would be action. If we're talking about RPG uh....JRPG or Adventure RPG? I guess.

Does "RPG" do enough to describe a game in the genre?

In the past yes, though not as much these days.

If you had to chance, would you change the name to something else?

No.

Would creating more defined subgenres help or hurt the appeal?

I think we get new subgenres as they come along. Helping categorize a certain type of game can't hurt the appeal.
