did we ever get a flood of information?

Shin Megami Tensei and Dragon Quest are two of the biggest RPG franchises in Japan.

They aren't known for their storylines.

Biggest =/= Best

Biggest =/= Best

I'd say those are both objectively fantastic RPG franchises.

Your opinion doesn't make my statement any less true.

Your opinion doesn't make my statement any less true.

but your statement has little meaning. Biggest doesn't necessarily equal best, but neither does "smallest" or "deepest story" or "best this" or "worst that."

Different people have different reasons for liking different games. This remains true even within a single genre.

There's a reason why Dragon Quest and other mentioned games are "Big." I'm pretty sure it's not because they're terrible and unfun.

And what does this statement mean? I'm saying that just because something is big doesn't make it good. I don't see how that doesn't have any meaning. I'd say it has meaning in a lot of mediums music surely being one of them, movies, televisions and video games but this thread is not about who thinks what is good.

There's a reason why those series are praised. An RPG isn't defined by it's story. It's the overall impression that the game leaves you with.

I'll give you that point but story does play a large roll in which way a game is defined.

It's the same reason Romancing Saga was praise back in the day. Same reason Seiken Densetsu 3 was considered the best back in the day. In america it's mostly Final Fantasy.

An RPG is indeed defined by story (Role-Playing Game..how do you get into a role of someone with no storyline?), well back when people actually were able to read and comprehend storylines in video games, these days sure an RPG isn't defined by story.

Its defined by the number of belts the main character has.

Can't believe someone didn't lol at that >.>

And we havent recivied a flood. More like a light wave of mist that only came once in a desert.
