In fact, what is closer to the "real" "role playing" (i.e. chain mail/dnd, shadowrun, gurps etc) experience is the JRPG, where the most effort is put into fitting the characters into the world, the work the Game Master & players do on the fly.

Pretty much all Western Video Game RPGs are inferior sandboxes, insofar as they aren't actually just sophisticated adventure games (you could interpret Deus Ex and System Shock in this light.) Sorry, this will be very unpopular! But I think it is true.

Moreover many JRPGs are just battle simulators with levels. And they're not terribly interesting battle simulators
At least Final Fantasy Tactics is an interesting battle simulator.Show this thread
