Perhaps I should have mentioned this somewhere in the beginning. Im not a big fan of RPGs. So my opinion of 1000 Years Door is slighted. I have never liked RPGs, every now and then I give one a shot, hoping to find one I like. RPGs Ive tried; Legend of the Dragoon, FFVII, CronoTrigger, SuperMario RPG, Paper Mario: 1000 Years Door, Pokemon Red, Earthbound. I know a lot of you are dropping your jaws right now saying, "Holy shit, and I was just starting to crush on a dude for the first time, too"
I think what it is is RPGs are too slow and the player is typically seperated from all the action. Where as I prefer to get "in it". I want to have direct control over my character and rely on my reflexes rather than my ability to sit in a field for 20hrs trying to build up experience points. The thing I do like about RPGs is usually the incredible inventory of attacks, most of which can be visually exciting to watch.
So taking all that into account, Paper Mario: 1000 Years Door is one of the better RPGs Ive played... even though I didnt like it.
