Thank you.

Now let''s expand on them.

I can''t believe a person would actually deface the true essence of the RPG game genre! The is only one type of classic RPG: the one with the amazing storyline and characters. It''s unfortunate that some people believe that by taking the storyline out of some great game, for instance, Final Fantasy 7, you can make a better game and that this messed pile of characters suspended in space with no beginning and end to their quest is also a great way to portray emotion and personality of a character (hence "role-playing")through conflicts with many differents forces. WRONG!!! The true thoughts of a character can NOT be expressed without a storyline and it would be pointless to attempt to put a character in an evironment that doesn''t develope and to expect the character to develope aside from non-existant plot. (Ex: In FF7, the storyline was what drove the Shinra company to eventually die off, it was the storyline which brought meteor hurdling toward the suffering planet, and it was the storyline which led the pyscho, Sepiroth, to kill Aeris, the last living of the Cetra. Everything in the game was connected to the storyline, and without one, I''m sure, FF7 would be the shame of Square right now).

It''s like living a fantasy with a host of unique individuals whom you control to drive the story forward. This experince can affect your mind critically in many ways, stimulating your imagination with the story of another world or realm (in essence, a fantasy). To say that an RPG MUST have a story is key because like the characters in those classic RPG''s we struggle with something and find a way to express it through their experinces.They are an important tool to finding our own faults, but, without a plot, they are simply pretty piles of garbage with no expression. Don''t take the life out of RPG''s!!!
