The translations are as follows: "I think it would be good if the hero had missions that weren't only about destroying evil." "The player is weak, the enemy is weak. That's way too convenient." "When did games become something you watch?" "Because the story doesn't change, what's the point of playing it again?" "Games nowadays are focusing way too much on photorealism." "What's a game that's moving in accordance to the scenario? It's the same as living on rails." "Levelling up is time for motivation down!" "The stage has been set. After that, you're free to do whatever!" This mirrors many declarations made by Todd Howard, lead of Bethesta Softworks in the past calling the JRPGs, among other things "unrealistic" (whatever that means) plus BioWare own co-founder Greg Zeschuk criticized JRPGs for a lack of innovation: "The fall of the JRPG in large part is due to a lack of evolution, a lack of progression. They kept delivering the same thing over and over. They make the dressing better, they look prettier, but it's still the same experience. My favorite thing, it's funny when you still see it, but the joke of some of the dialogue systems where it asks, 'do you wanna do this or this,' and you say no. 'Do you wanna do this or this?' No. 'Do you wanna do this or this?' No. Lemme think - you want me to say 'yes.' And that, unfortunately, really characterized the JRPG." Cheap controversy to stir exposure of the WRPGs games on the east or valid criticism?
