Unironically using the term "western gaming" is cringe.

You'd just play as Legless. Yawn.

Why do they even call him that when he has legs.

Souls: Hell no

Monster Hunter: Yes, and it was a bad game all around, not just movement. Of course a bad game has bad movement.

Why are JRPGs comparable to the whole Western sector? Oh I know, because you're used to Western gaming where there are only two genres. Well, it's not that way on the other side of the planet. The Japanese gaming sector has loads of variety.

But sure, if you want to stack the deck against the Japanese, I'll play along because it will still leave Western games in the dust.

Genres of JRPG include:
Turn based JRPG
AJRPG
SJRPG

Settings of JRPG include:
The inside of a giant machine (Resonance of Fate)
The Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario RPG)
Dieselpunk (Final Fantasy 7)
The age of exploration, except the oceans are sky instead of water (Skies of Arcadia)
Fantasy that actually has nothing to do with Lord of the Rings (gasp!) (Baten Kaitos)
Chinese folklore (Suikoden)

World styles of JRPGs include:
Open
World map
One big dungeon
World menu

I will concede, though, if any genre of Japanese gaming has movement that could be comparable to how bad it is in Western gaming, JRPG comes closest.

I was more joking about how the character design is all very same-y and how all the adults look like 12 year olds and how the dialogue is peak CRINGE

Oh, I agree, but I think the point was that his topics start debates. Sharing a safe opinion wouldn't do anything around here.

Nah, I'd say there's plenty of discussion going on on this site. We really don't need more of TC's half assed trolling.
