When did this trend even start in Jap games? I know they've been a thing since at least the early 90s.

Tales of Symphonia's intro is better in the lyric-less western version. They got the composer to make a custom intro song that turns out to be far more memorable than the generic jpop tune from the Jap version.

Chrono Trigger's opening was so cool and slick. I always got chills and super hyped from watching it when I was a kid. I didn't actually start the game and finish it till I was 10 or 11 because I only played Mario platformers at the time and couldn't wrap my head around another button setup of pressing Y to confirm.

>Game from Japan
>>essentially just a fucking anime

I swear, except for Nintendo games and a very, very, very, small handful, most games made by Japan are just a fucking anime.

No, I don't mean like all sony games are anime.
Like Crash isn't anime, God of War isn't anime.
But like the japanese made ones are.

Bayonetta is fucking anime, especially 2
All Final Fantasy are fucking anime.
It pains me, but all Suda 51 are anime
Obviously Persona and other Atlus games are anime

>>387197959
Dumb anti-anime fag

>>387197959
you could make a similar sweeping generalization about western games; all western rpgs are essentially lotr with a different coat of paint, for instance

>>387173959

If I want to watch anime, I'll go watch anime

And most of the games guilty of being just fucking anime, essentially are mediocre shit with anime cutscenes, riddled with anime tropes.

Bayonetta 2 was just a bad anime.
Persona is just anime
Dangonropa is just anime
Final Fantasy is just anime

Zelda looks like anime, but its not written like an anime. Its not full of shitty tropes and such.

>>387197959
something being "anime" is a statement that really doesnt mean anything

What did she mean by this?

>>387167874
This is a really cute OP.

>>387198586
Instead of making a better story, more/better gameplay, they instead put shit loads of anime cutscenes, and shove the story full of cliche anime stories and tropes that are both less realist, yeah I know video games don't have to be realistic. I mean that peoples personalities and how they interact are unrealistic.
They're full of stories and actions that you've already seen in anime.
A bad thing about anime, and many stories are thing have been done and over done before, hence the creation of tropes.
From perverted side characters, MC's that win through will power and more.

Thats what I mean by most Japanese games are just fucking anime. Sub-par gameplay with shitty overdone and predictable stories that you've already seen in anime.

>>387199635
If you leave the "that youve already seen in anime" out of your last sentence, what youre doing is describing every larger release from the last 5 years or maybe more, western or japanese

>>387199913
I'm not going to disagree with you on that
The last 5 years of games have been spectacularly lack luster.

I've only bought 10.5 games in the last 5 years.

Soul Calibur V was a fucking abomination
GTA V was good, but since the PS4 and GTA V was re-release, no one is playing it on PS3 still, so for me, it has no replay value.
Far Cry 4 was okay, definitely not as good as 3.
Smash Wii was mediocre
Hyrule Warriors was fun
Bayonetta 2 fucking sucked dick
Arkham Knight was okay
The Last Guardian was absolute shit
Zelda BOTW was great
Crash N.Sanity is fun
And Pokemon Go is something to do.

Is FF any more "anime" than western story-focused vidya are live-action or cartoon? Probably, but their's still more game in there.
