Gamers will eternally argue about these things. For instance, why are RPGS so different on the PCs than on the consoles? Which developers make better RPGs, Westerners or the Japanese? Getting deeper into the trenches, there are even more questions left unanswered. Are the games in The Legend of Zelda series actually role-playing games? Has the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance series besmirched the brilliant and more traditional D&D PC-based version of Baldur's Gate? Is Final Fantasy really an RPG, or is it really an interactive anime?
What about RPG evolution? What kinds of change will we see in the future? The seeds planted by games such as Knights of the Old Republic, Fable, and Jade Empire are all going to reach fruition in the next generation on Xbox 360. Put simplistically, players like to shift from good to evil and back again. Many RPG gameheads like deciding their fate in games; they enjoy affecting the outcome of the story. RPGs in the future are very likely going to deliver morality shifts of the sort seen in KOTOR, Jade Empire, and Fable. And after having experienced the physical extremities of good and bad shown in Fable, including visual aging, it's going to be difficult for developers to ignore their impact going forward.
