Amazing, absolutely amazing ~ Thumbs up ~ I could just imagine that game where the villains actually do things in real time, especially when you are sleeping in Inns, I think we would end up complaining about the lack of sleep lol! Then again I guess that wouldn't be an RPG lol!

Everyone has said how true this is, yet we still can't explain why we're so compelled to keep playing 'em O_O

Great analysis, I enjoyed it X)

@Tsukasaluver:

I agree with him that was awesome Ty

@TimberWolf:

Either that, or they're archers.

But there's usually white magic involved somehow.

Well now I've seen everything. XD

~Hanyuu

This couldn't be more amusing that already is.

Excellent job!

@TimberWolf

Yea I know (I wasnt trying to be mean) But still it is kinda nice to see a heroine who can fight! And a pen? Thats.....unique lol

This is pretty good stuff, and it is so true,

That was the best thing I have ever read in the pasty month, maybe year (when I say year,I mean 365 days ago, not from jan first to this date)

I have to send this to my friends! XD

Oh and you forgot that the enemy will have infinite amount of resources, armies, and magical powers. And you will have all limited supplies, but still be able to defeat a army that is far more advanced than yours.(with an un-ending amount of solders )

@arcticwulf:

I'm aware that Colette uses chakrams, Iria uses guns, Rutee uses a (talking) sword, Shirley uses a pen, and Claire doesn't even fight (and then when you leave Tales and throw in Skies of Arcadia, Aika uses a boomerang and Fina uses the obligatory cute mascot critter). However, the vast majority of RPG heroines do use staves.

Wow this is so true. I matched this up with the RPG's I played only lie in here is when it said the heroine must use a rod or staff (or something like that) Collet from ToS uses Chakrams and Iria from ToI uses guns. It was damn funny though and I love the part on betrayal XD

i'm commenting again, but this is so true it made me laugh so much especially the villain one, where for some reason u can't kill them the first time and u have to fight them 7 more times and then the one where they have like 3 forms and u can';t heal it made me laugh and say wow i have been there so many times

True, so very, very true. Good job on this, I'm still laughing

Why is it when it said the thing about the heroine apologizing I suddenly yelled out "COLETTE!" (?) Eh, I saw so much ToS and ToP in this...(and a bit of Final Fantasy ).

Everything is so truly, truly, truly, truly true.

Haha that was really great! I just can't stop thinking of the Final Fantasy games lol Everything said here relates to those games! It made me laugh at how true all those were!

HA! Congrats on the hot-box'd award, Timber!

That is completely true lol soo funny

i forgot how many times i laughed while i read that. great job writing it! and it's so very true. :>

i wonder...if i stayed in an inn my whole life, would i always be my age? :o

i kept thinking of Kingdom Hearts when i read most of these.. Especially this one:
"If your physical condition is great, your ally in charge of healing will treat you like you're dying. However, when you actually are dying, your healer will ignore you in favor of someone else who is clearly infinitely more healthy than you are."

XD .. That was all truthful though!

I agree with zero sephiroth that if they don't fit those guidelines.. They're not RPG! xD

Hehe i was thinking of Skies of Arcadia and Golden sun while reading your post - and you have played them ^_^ SofA is probobly my favourite RPG *nods* but it is never the same the seccond time you play through... *sigh*

Hahahaha that was great ^_^

Ahahaha ^_^ I laughed so much reading that! I nearly fell of my chair! ^^ That was fun to read, thank you very much!! It's so true aswell ^_^

sounds like you took a page from final fantasy7
and listed gameplay and story design
a great raed highly intertaning

I think any fan of RPGs knows these in the back of their mind, but for some reason putting them together in a list makes them sound even more absurd.

See, this is why I love Fire Emblem. It's got intelligent mains, and is slightly less predictable and convenient.

But only slightly. =P

And yes, there is a disturbing degree of existentialism going on in the younger crew. (Except for Neimi and Amelia. They talked about pie. *nod*

The whole time I was reading this, almost each statement reminded me of a past rpg. I think it is hilarious and truthful. Very funny!

I've not played many RPGs, but from the ones I have I'd have to say your analysis is 100% correct ^^

And a woot for the Haibane pic in your intro =D

Wow. That was pretty silly... and truthful. That was a fun read Timber.
