did we ever get a flood of information?

If it's an RPG, it damn well should be the main criteria.

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

They aren't known for their storylines.

[Gokulo]

um no... FFX-2 was the worst FF ever... both X and X-2 were awful... PLOTHOLES and bad story telling...

X-2 had an awesome battle system at least. Also, opinions.

Biggest =/= Best

[Ruisu]

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.

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.

It felt like I got splashed in the face

Same... but I'm almost certain it wasn't with water... ¬_¬

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.

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