why do people call Ys a JRPG
Ys is not a JRPG
-F
@socks things we consider essential to being a jrpg:
- A levelling and equipment system (Ys has this)
- combat takes place in a separate mode from exploration, with or without a battle transition (Ys does not have this)
- More emphasis than the average game on story (Ys has this)
- Combat that is more strategic than execution-based (Ys does not have this)
those are the things i can think of right now, which are why Ys feels way more like an action game than a JRPG to us

@Felthry I think "action RPG" is a term made specifically for these kinds of games, kinda like Kingdom Hearts
@socks yeah i would agree if you called it an action rpg, but not a JRPG

@Felthry ... really?
