i agree with the article
you guys just all like jrpgs, so you don't want to admit that theyre anything other than your preconcieved notions. in reality, they are much closer to adventure games, and often don't even contain very many rpg elements.
this whole thread is full of butthurt.
I
much prefer traditional RPGs over JRPGs, but I still think JRPGs are a kind of RPG. A subdivision of the genre.
also, this:

it's not a RPG, so what? wee can still play the spoon outta it :P
I f
ucking
hate genre classifications. All it does it cause people to whine over what's a certain genre and what's not.
If you like it play it, if you don't, don't. And shut the f
uck up about it.

Not really, the only ones that come to mind are the Sting games. Most games nowadays fit into a specific genre... even moreso than back then actually!

agreed and all these genre classifications are just going to bring up more heated debates on whether or not something is or is not something else.
genre classifications just create people who are in love with one type of game because of what people said and how they were categorized
as long as its fun, who cares whether its an rpg or jrpg.
you can call it whatever you want, it doesn't change the game itself at all.

may be 4-5 is a bit over exaggerated but there are games defies their genre like inFamous, everyone assumed it gonna be a RPG, but it more like a third person shooter to me :P

You could say that inFamous is part of a small minority though >_>
Why even bother with classifying games into genres? Look at the game and it's gameplay, then decide if you like to play it or don't^^
