I don't think the concept would really work that well. Borderlands aside, ARPG's tend not to be particularly focused on individual character identities, especially where so many just have a customizable avatar (if not in terms of appearance/voice, in terms of how they fight) instead of a defined character with an actual personality. --- This is my signature.

Western games lmao The entirity of the Tales series can dunk on all western ARPGs combined. "Ooooh my lootbox simulator! This bracelet has 0.2 extra damage, this is really gonna make the grade now!" adjl posted...

Tales, Ys, Kingdom Hearts, etc; all have very established characters and identities. They've even made an entire crossover Tales game as it is. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Action JRPG's and ARPG's are very different games. Heck, for that matter, I'd even go so far as to say that action RPG's and ARPG's are different genres, as much as that's really stupid if you put even the slightest amount of consideration into what the acronym actually stands for. When the term "ARPG" is used, it's specifically in reference to Diablo and its ilk, not simply any RPG that isn't turn-based. It's not the most intuitive subgenre name, but it's what we've got to work with. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. ... Copied to Clipboard!

But it's how the terminology has evolved, so we just kinda have to roll with it and clarify as needed. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. ...
