    What constitutes a good RPG player?

    Why, this constitutes a good RPG player.


    And no, Neel, that isn't this picture.

    Wow, your brother must really suck, because as far as I know, it's impossible to get a gameover from Edea at the Deling City Parade.

    Being good at RPGs? You might as well say you're good at eating soup.

    nah, i just have more will to train, but he has more will to beat games, and he's beaten far more RPGs than me. sometimes he'll ask me to train his characters. next time i'm charging $5 per lvl up :goofy: .

    It is possible to be "good at RPGs", because not everyone can beat them. When I was younger, in the days when Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy were in their prime, I couldn't beat them. I wasn't good at RPGs. Now I can't think of an RPG I can't beat. Somewhere between Dragon Warrior 1, and the present, I got "good" at RPGs.

    Unlike other genres of videogames though, RPGs reach a skill plateau. In an action game, you can always increase your high score. You can always improve your strategy in a RTS game. 1st person shooters have a definite capacity for infinite skill improvement. This isn't the case with RPGs. RPGs have only two levels of prowess: those who are good at RPGs and those who aren't. Dragon Warrior was insanely difficult, untill I beat it. Then I knew the rules. The rules all RPGs follow. And no RPG has been as great a challenge since.
    Knock yourselves down.

    People that are good at RPG's are people that do all those lvl 1 challenges and all, patience is key as well

    I don't think that makes you good, that just means you have a lot of time to waste...

    I disagree. It doesn't take anywhere near the amount of time it does to get everyone up to level 99 and stuff like that. That takes zero skill. Being able to figure out boss patterns and maximize what you have and build stratagy around it takes skill and few can do that.

    Well, if you mean in the Battle System, in some games there might be certain strategies you can find out. For example:

    In FF1, my usual team is Fighter, Red Mage, Black Mage, White Mage. I then come across 3 Goblins. My Fighter and Red Mage can kill those in 1 hit, but my other Mages cannot. So, I do this:

    Fighter kills Goblin 1.

    Red Mage kills Goblin 2.

    White Mage hits Goblin 3.

    Black Mage kills Goblin 3.

    I weaken the enemy with 1 of my weak characters, and then finish it off with the other weak character.


    In the Maps, though, I suppose that to be good at an RPG you can try to solve all the extra puzzles and find the secret paths to get more items.

    When u beat the game at under level 45 then ur good. I hate it when people are like "oh, im lvl. 99 im soo good." i reply by saying "No ---- sherlock u kill everything in 1 freakin hit, that takes no skillz, killing all those bunnies to nickel and dime u experince up there really paid off didnt it?"

    I wonder. Is it possible to be a LV.40 and beat ruby weapon without KoTR??

    I dare you to try it with Coin+Mime, and nothing else.

    Would beating Ruby with something as ludicrous as this be considered "good"?
