The FPS and the RPG: A Comparison

[Amnestic]

I'd like to point out that your only playing JRPGs from the looks of it. also, Yuri(the main character of the game in the last screen shot, the guy with purple hair) is only effeminate in the sense that he has long hair.

That's a guy?!...you're fuckin' kidding me.

This may be a skill I've acquired after watching to much anime, but yes, and it's blatantly obvious.

Blatantly obvious my ass. It's not just his hair that's pink, a lot of his clothes are too, and his face is by far the most feminine of all the faces in that picture.

His hair's purple?
Certainly not pink anyway [http://www.total-manga.com/images/Wallpaper/FR-8-6209-B/tales-of-vesperia-yuri-rowell.jpg].

Edit: Methinks you're refering to Estelle [http://coke.dasaku.net/images/200811/estelle.jpg], who is clearly a girl. (Thank god for wikipedia!)

The pink haired o ne is the chick, the purple headed one is a guy.
Look at the party bar on the bottom.

I just have one question, why are you comparing Western FPS games to Japanese RPG's? How about comparing Western FPS games to WESTERN RPG games like the Fallout series, the Baldur's Gate series (the PC version), and The Elder Scrolls series? Though, it's interesting that as time goes on, the line between FPS and RPG will begin to blur, I think.

Comparing rpgs and fps is like comparing godzilla to jason.

Then why do people hate on X while simultaneously saying that Y is so much better?

Because they are fanboyish fools?
Everyone intelligent knows that Z is clearly superior to both X & Y.

Also, Scissorman (Clocktower Villian, SNES) is mightly superior to both Jason AND godzilla...COMBINED!

There isn't a purple haired one...that's black, not purple, at least on this picture. I was talking about the pink haired one the whole time (since there isn't that big a difference between purple and pink really). Well I'm relieved to find out that the pink-haired one IS a girl, since it's who I was talking about the entire time.

How can you compare such genres? They're completely different.

The lack of boobs is kind of a big well duh sign.

Very thorough, OP.

HA! oh, that was good. I said purple not pink, the girl with pink hair is the most girly girl you'll ever see in a game, the dude with purple hair *if you care, the rest is spoiler* assassinated two major officials in the games government because they were pricks, and you can get a black fedora that makes him look ultra badass.

Personally, I like both games. But I prefer FPS for the most part, due to me hating my fellow man and loving the opportunity to blast them with a shotgun.

Gears of War is a 3rd Person Shooter. Just thought I'd point that out.
