I think jrpgs are trash. Everytime I tried to play one, I dropped it for the gameplay being dog shit.

The gameplay is kind of nothing in jrpgs and most rpgs in general, I played WoW for awhile and even that was way more stimulating. What's the appeal?

Even western shit like fallout I find to be pretty bad despite having more going on.

>> No.3995947

most games are nothing
pertaining your question, "whats the appeal": it's impossible to answer beacause the genre of RPG, even JRP is quite vivid and caters to different needs.

WOW is pretty low bar. Usually people use it to escape boring low/middle class life or try to connect more with people.

That's because there are two schools of JRPGs. First, we have Final Fantasy type games with random encounters, turn based battles with no moving/positioning (most of the time), 2D graphics, open world. Then there is the Wizardry school: First person, you can't see your characters most of the time, you can move in the battles but it's still not like most WRPGs, they usually involve dungeon crawling, story is usually just an excuse for gameplay, etc.
