They should change how matchmaking is and make dedicated servers.

Technically he's correct; RPGs on computers started back in the 70s, which were usually adaptions or inspired by games such as Dungeons and Dragons. However, RPGs would never have gotten where they are today without games like Final Fantasy amd Dragon Quest.

Im talking about consoles not computers

It has changed, making you wrong.

no im not wrong, what ppl call things nowdays is wrong.

then the genre RPG should include every game that's not a puzzle.

 

seriously tho just because you have control over a characters movements does not mean you are role playing with that character. YOU as a character actually has no control over how the story plays out, its all linear story progression. All you are doing is moving character from point a to point b, you are NOT that character, that character is already predefined in the story. you have no control over that character cut scenes because they are already their for you. the only control you have is that character movements, that is NOT playing a role in a story. story wise its comparable to flipping a page in a book. Role playing games are suppose to be about creating a character and making choices for that character that effects the story and how NPCs respond to you

 

you sound like a stubborn child who doesn't want to admit his childhood beliefs are not actually real.

 

those two companies are the reason everyone now wrongfully assumes RPGs are games with stats and a level system when traditionally speaking, those were only secondary mechanics, not actually what made RPGs ROLE PLAYING GAMES. technically, JRPGs are not really rpgs but that's what everyone has gotten used to calling them thanks to squaresoft getting loose with the rpg mechanics.

Have some respect will u...

Classification changes, if the majority  of industry experts say that something is. It is.

but it's wrong though
