Topic	Is Dark Souls an rpg?
NeoElfboy 04/12/20 10:57:10 AM #36:	I'd say no, though it's all arbitrary of course. I usually come at it from the point of view of genre tentpole games. Final Fantasy is definitely an RPG. Devil May Cry is definitely not. So the operative question for me is: is Dark Souls more like FF or DMC? To me, it's definitely the latter, so it's not an RPG: it's an action game with RPG elements. Something like Tales resembles Final Fantasy more than it does Devil May Cry or Street Fighter, so I'm happy calling that an action RPG. --- The RPG Duelling League: www.rpgdl.com An unparalleled source for RPG information and discussion <cite>NeoElfboy posted [p:937248214] in Is Dark So...
