But what if I LIKE Anime/Video-game tropes in my D&D?

[QUOTE="Xethreau, post: 3970606, member: 57584"] I love anime, and I love JRPGs, like Fire Emblem and Golden Sun and Final Fantasy to name a few, but my love for D&D is on a different level. However, D&D 3e seemed to have a lot of cobwebs on it, if you understand my meaning, and was never as fast and shiny as my JRPG collection, nor as innovate or creative as some of the JRPG fantasy concepts. 4e changes that. I do not see anime when I listen to fourth edition, or at least on the whole I do not, but I DO love what I see. Athletics and movement are the only things that I have seen that could possibly be considered "anime-esque," and I am ok with that. If my rogue does a crazy backflip off the wall, and delivers a sneak attack from above, is that so bad? I think not. If the rogue can use an ability that makes him move so fast he is mechanically considered to be teleporting, is that such a bad thing? Not to me. (Blue, from GamerRadioZero's Podcast talked about her rogue who could do that) D&D with a sellect few Japanese rethought fantasy concepts is fine with me, even antropromorphic cat people (to an extent). However, I do not see chibi elves, races with monkey tails, or robot dinosaurs being transformed into one giant robot, or anything along those lines. D&D reamians fantasy, and as it has done before, it obtains elements from the fantasy genre all arround us, including videogames and anime. And that's ok with me! EDIT: It should be noted that I absolutely hate all but two Led Zeppline songs, but really only like 2 DragonForce songs. I'm really more of a Nightwish sort of guy (NOT their 2006 album, which was made of fail). Slow songs are just things I cannot pay attention to, but music that is fast but shallow feels empty. Hopefuly, if 4e were a band, it would be fast paced, or at least something bearable, but deep in sound, feel, heart, and meaning, [/QUOTE]
