According to the "game genre experts" over at /v/, this game is not an RPG.
Laugh with me.

It isn't. It's a sidescrolling action type with some RPG elements.

I can assure it is not an RPG, I have a feeling for those things. If I get sick, depressed, with the feeling I'm going to vomit and deeply agobiated (not joking) it is an RPG in it's FF's purest form.

RPG means Ridiculously and Phucking Geriatric-State-Inducing game, and consists in thousands of fight per minute, pure turn combat where both parts are educate enough to wait for each other turn and level grinding with character that are killing machines decorated with hair and which suffer the typical lack of personality of any mechanical being.

turn based "action" != RPG
This game is an RPG, though as some may argue it isn't since it is actually a fun to play game, I assure that it is in fact an RPG and moreso one than any FF because well, it's fucking fun to play.

Role Playing Game = RPG

That means you play the role of "so-and-so".

RPG is essentially where you can choose/develop different types of roles/characters.

RPG'S ARE NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS THE REST IS INSIGNIFICANT TO THE BASE ESSENCE OF RPG.
And it can be interpreted and used in any way.

Containing elements of other genre doesn't mean it isn't that genre, there is such a thing as COMBINED GENRES.

Oh, so YOU'RE saying that that an RPG is Role-Playing-Game(I know that's whta it stands for). So IN YOUR theory, every game would BE an RPG, because you assume the role of someobody.

Roleplaying isn't about playing a set role indeed, but it can be in the RPG genre.

It is about DEVELOPING a role, this can happen in the same character, but as long as you can develop your player character in different ways, then it is a Roleplaying game.

And there is also such a thing of combining genres. Turn based combat is a feature undefined of genre as strategy games also can be turn based, so that is out of it.

Castlevania is a sidescrolling action platformer roleplaying game. That's the full title, but few see 'elements' only as such, and not as a genre when it defines one. But it actually does.
And when there is character development, it is a roleplaying game.

Oh sorry, 'set role'=>'predefined character'.

I hate seeing every game that lets you change stats called an "RPG". It's not an RPG because your character can change stats and learn new abilities. Fallout is an RPG. Baldur's Gate is an RPG. Planescape: Torment is an RPG. Final Fantasy IS NOT AN RPG. It's completely linear, you have next to no control over character interaction, and everything is always the same.

how the fuck is Final Fantasy not a RPG? you lvl up, gain stats, improved weapon, items, character developement

I think you're just an idiot -_- since it's a fact that FF is well established as a RPG
>> Anonymous
Actually I kind of agree with the earlier posts, FF while being a great series (which I've played about half of) is not so much an rpg, more of adventure game, you gotta do the same things in the same order, you have control of your character but not how they level and all the items and endings are pre-set, don't get me wrong it has a few "RPG-ish" elements, but I wouldn't call it one.

ESRB isn't made up of gamers, it's made up of basically volunteers that agree on game standards.

>>280048
Ironic and funny then that Morrowind is considered more of an adventure game than a RPG when it has little that is pre-set in comparison to most actual RPGs. You don't have to do things in the same order, you have control how your character levels.

The entire game is still considered an adventure game more than a RPG.

I've made a game based in fapping and shoting through colour rings hanging in the ceiling with different colours and at different distances.

I made it, so it is up to me to chose the genre. Mmmhhh... I think I will label it a life-simulation RPG with FPS scent.
