I would make a comment about how the lack of buttons on an iPhone makes gaming on it worthless, but I'm too busy having fun playing a game on my iPhone.

I just started FF XIII, but if I find some sort of Edward character in it who may or may not be spoony...I'm going to be most disappointed.

Referring to Japanese rpgs as JRPGs is quite racist. I'm surprised anyone affiliated with AOL Time Warner would do so. They are just RPGs. There is no need to create a sub category as if they are some lesser form of 'normal' rpgs.

You are the first and only person I've ever seen make this argument. They're RPG's, they're made in Japan. Hence JRPG. It's hard to deny the stylistic differences between RPGs made there and those designed elsewhere. There's nothing racist about that at all.

I think you maybe on to something here. I'll have to think about it as I drive to the Japanese restaurant after work tonight in my Japanese car.
In fact, I may not be able sleep tonight after watching some Japanese horror flick, so I'll ponder it as I stay up playing a JRPG, er RPG.

"The battle system is apparently built around solo and pair moves by the characters, the latter dealing greater damage and unlocking more combo skills"

At least it's a game that's finally using the Chrono Trigger battle system it sounds like.

@Ian It would be interesting to find out if Japanese gamers know about the JRPG genre, and more importantly, if they are playing Fallout 3, would they refer to it as an NARPG?!
