Bioware: "Final Fantasy XIII is no RPG"
Submitted by Zidane007nl on 14 May 2010, 12:36
In an interview that Strategy Informer held with Daniel Erickson, Writing Director of BioWare (from games like Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Origins) they asked what his thoughts are about Final Fantasy XIII and according to him it's no RPG.
Well, before I address the main point I just want to take a slightly more controversial route: You can put a 'J' in front of it, but it's not an RPG. You don't make any choices, you don't create a character, you don't live your character... I don't know what those are - adventure games maybe? But they're not RPG's.
What are your thoughts about tbis?

My thoughts
I would always call final fantasy an RPG it was how it started and how it will stay.
My views on RPGs is it is the Battle system that also depicts it's genre not just character creation. Even though we do not create characters for ff13 it is still wonderful that we don't have to go through a tiring process of how we want our character looks like and the type of skills they may potentially learn
