Why have the Japanese become allergic to Fantasy WITHOUT videogame RPG elements?
>>
>>154731339
They aren't. You are just infected by video games and assume tradional fantasy rpg stuff is vidya.
>>
>>154731339
Because successful works inspire creators and drive demand in fans.
>>
>>154731339
Because its what everyone, including American translators actually wanted.

There is a lot of Japanese LNs that isn't about isekai and without MMO UI element but nobody is interested in translating them because nobody liked them enough to put the effort.
>>
>>154731547
Why is everyone's taste so shit
>>
>>154731573
If everyone liked something good that good thing would become shit. Just be happy for what you have.

Genius. Imagine all the little girls you could headpat and no one would ever know.

This really bugs me too.

Nobody going to pander to the taste of someone who paid little to anyone.

Nobody without artistic integrity, at any rate.
>>
>>154731339
It makes for both lazy writing and lazy reading. You don't have to use your imagination much if conflict and action is described through mechanics,

Don't insult Tolkien.

it sucks because i love the monster outlines of types/skills/ weaknesses and such, which are then incorporated into defeating said monsters. but i hate when it boils down to OPs pic where they have health numbers and shit and then poof when killed.
>>
>>154732692
Artistic integrity is a pretentious joke
>>
>>154731697
But the body on that wolf/fox kemono in the BG is literally perfect. Plus they'd a perfect head/ears for patting, a long and soft tongue for licking, fluffy tail, downy fur, and you don't have to buy them shoes.

>>154731339
Write your own LN or something. Jesus, consumers of media are so entitled today.
>>
>>154732909
But Tolkien's magic had no clearly defined mechanics
(at least outside of the companion materials), which is what made it so mystical. Shit just worked and only a handful of eccentric weirdos knew why.

None of that makes up for having a dogface.

dogs are cute though (although I'm not saying I'd fuck a dog or that you should fuck a dog, bestiality is wrong due to a plethora of reasons), unless ur're exclusively a cat person

Complaining that writers are writing what they want instead of what you want isn't criticism.
>>
What is the name of that manga again?
>>
>>154734215
finally, someone said what needed to be said
>>
There are dozens of LN and hundreds of WN without RPG mechanics. Instead of whinging look for something.

Hell, Knights and Magic is getting an anime and that doesn't have RPG mechanics.
>>
The only exposure to fantasy literature most people born in the 90s and later have received comes from RPGs. And so when they try to create a fantasy story they end up creating a JRPG instead.

The 80's and 90's D&D fad gave us shit like Slayers, Lodoss War, Rune Soldier Louie and Orphen.

The same reason Hollywood does so much remakes of old movies and shows: CONNECTION

Introducing to people something they already know instantly creates a connection that makes it more esay to sell them the product.

Why make a Power Rangers movie? Because people knows or have heard about power rangers.

Why to introduce game elements into a fantasy works? Because people knows games.

Is actually quite simple.

Thanks god there is still actual fantasy out there.

because LNs and anime are marketed to people who can't read full length fantasy books.

You say that like you think the Power Rangers movie is a good idea.

Thanks for reminding me that exists, I need to catch up.

Isn't it isekai though?

From a bussiness point of view probably is, even if it bombs hard it probably will make profit just with toys.

>>154736121
I'm getting fantastic 4 vibes from it.
>>
>>154736069
Do you know what Isekai means

Even F4 had profits, a mere 50 millon profit, but still made money.

Video games destroy roleplaying games, mobage card games inherit the Earth
>>
>>154736198
I'm just saying that may be it doesn't have one poison but it has another instead.

Of course is not as bad as having both isekai and rpg mechanics but is still bad.

Honestly if I have to choose between which is worse if isekai or rpg mechancis...I'd say is a draw because both break the immersion

This would be lot more fun if wasn't true

Go read some normal fantasy books then you piece of shit

I actually prefer to play some campaigns of old good /tg/ stuff.

Even if you avert the eyes from the shit, the shit is still there. And any moment you could step into it by mistake, or some monkey will catch it and throw it to your face.

Cleaning the shits solves the problem, look to other side doesn't.
>>
>>154736520
Depending on how much does it compare to the ammount spent on it. But why is F4 so hated, never seen the movie but everyone's saying it's bad.

In 20 years we'll get mobage themed RPG anime, complete with microtransactions and limited time events.

Most of them make Bioware dialogues look impressive in comparison and we know how those are.
