Ever played a PC RPG?
That's not really true, especially for games like Paper Mario... it's about gameplay based on statistics and numbers and menus/rows of buttons as opposed to more action-oriented gameplay, right? I certainly don't agree... I have some issues with japanese-style RPGs, but it's not that. It's random battles primarially... and the lesser degree of complexity (when compared to PC RPGs) and lacking realism (this is true in most games I know, but RPGs are really trying to create a world so it's more noticable -- and this is quite applicable to a lot of PC ones too of course)...
... ever played Japanese-style action/RPGs like the Mana games, or Star Ocean, or Tales of Symphonia or something? ... Zelda? That's another step over I know, and isn't a RPG, but there are a lot of similarities between, a Mana game and a Zelda game...
