Meaning, if you look at a particular game in the future, you can say with some certainty that I'll play it or not.Zenic Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441583549326102945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-32561100049819425482016-07-28T23:23:27.713-07:002016-07-28T23:23:27.713-07:00I thought Cadash was a good example of an edge cas...I thought Cadash was a good example of an edge case you did. While I'd say it's enough to be an RPG. It just barely hits all the marks. And could also maybe be an "Action Adventure" game. That was a game that did have star based battle but also required action. The difference being , like you said , that you could grind in that game.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11560711373831583403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-16756696940225974072016-04-09T14:21:02.471-07:002016-04-09T14:21:02.471-07:00Like cuts, I might add in a review for regional ti...Like cuts, I might add in a review for regional titles, but I wanted to keep the list at least somewhat manageable. At my current rate, without breaks, it'll take 33 years to get through the list. I have time to play other games, just not give them a full written review.Zenic Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441583549326102945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-74639521875695863332016-04-09T14:18:57.597-07:002016-04-09T14:18:57.597-07:00Princess Tomato isn't on the list actually, an...Princess Tomato isn't on the list actually, and I don't have 3DS on the list as I've limited it to the 7th generation of consoles/handhelds for the time being.<br /><br />Princess Tomato is basically an adventure game, and would be cut for many of the same reasons as Shadowgate. I think I have all the Paper Mario games on the list to be played, so if I were to include 3DS, then I'd probably add Sticker Star as well unless it was obviously not an RPG. I think the worlds are rich enough in those games that even without leveling up stats it might qualify on the scale.Zenic Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441583549326102945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-22068551655942551732016-04-09T14:13:42.889-07:002016-04-09T14:13:42.889-07:00I love video game "challenge" blogs such...I love video game "challenge" blogs such as this one. But do you ever wonder if you're being too stringent with the criteria, or if exceptions need to occasionally be made? You indicate that you love this game, but will alas be skipping due to non-RPG status. And because of the region restriction you'll also be skipping some fantastic JPN-exclusive stuff like Seiken Densetsu 3 and Terranigma (despite playing their predecessors and sequels, as those were released in the US).Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14149561869917267692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-73979372586035005882016-04-07T09:40:02.352-07:002016-04-07T09:40:02.352-07:00Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom might earn a ...Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom might earn a notable rank on your scale, even though it's not an RPG. The same goes for Paper Mario Sticker Star.<br /><br />Both games have many RPG trappings (first-person dungeon crawls in Princess Tomato, turn-based combat in Sticker Star) but lack the core mechanic of an RPG: the ability to level up the hero or improve his overall statistics beyond just HP/MP.Victarhttp://www.victarfanfics.comnoreply@blogger.com
