There is nothing to debate here, it is all about your preference, whether you like WRPG or JRPG. For me I DISLIKE this idea, we in a drought for traditional/Adventure RPGs so i would rather to keep FF as it is. Also, I do see harm in making a western FF. It will be a good reason for this increasingly frustrated community to hail other JRPGs as gifts from heaven and declare SE as Activision of Japan, no matter how the other JRPGs are actually filled with many compromisesOriginally Posted by Wolf Kanno
Not anything new but here's an article where someone ponders the question. So I ask you Eyes on FF, have we reached a point where this might be the fresh break the FF series needs. or should we stick to the Japanese teams, cause you either don't agree that something is wrong, or feel that FF would lose something in the cultural exchange?
Have fun debate..
Another point, the major difference between JRPG and WRPG is that WRPG often combine three main components :
1- Morality system AKA role playing.
2- Quest/Mission structure AKA Non-linearity.
3- Avatar system
What i dislike, is that people often tend to romanticized some of these concepts beyond its actual value.
