Seriously, are you saying that 3d is the most important factor for immersion? I'd completely disagree there. Story is, no question. Graphics are very important, but definitely secondary... or have you never been immersed into the world of a book?
Oh, and so you feel this about all console RPGs too? All the ones before 3d are worse because they don't have cool 3d immersiveness? Umm... I thought you were smarter than that... but I guess not.
I'm not talking about metaphorical immersion, you dolt. I made that very clear.
In the case of a top-down or isometric 2D game, 3D is definitely better, absolutely. If you wanted to you could just pull the camera back and restrict your POV.
