[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 4775964, member: 28487"] I came at D&D from D&D :lol: As for your list. I have never heard of Persona or Shadow Hearts: Covenant; Full Metal Alchemist, I'll get back to you on that one Hellboy/BRPD I do not know enough to comment World of Warcraft, yes I agree here. New Crobuzon I also never heard of. I can kind of see where you are coming from with Full Metal Alchemist but I reckon that Naruto or Dragon Ball (neither of which i can stand) or Rurouni Kenshin (which I love) are better examples as people there have signature moves which specific names. I don't think that the anime influence is specific and also that Hong Kong martial arts movies are at least as much an influence. I do think though that the Lords of the Rings movies and WoW are stronger influences. I very strongly suspect that the designers of 4e looking at the Fellowship movie, when at the battle at Parth Galen when Legolas stabs the orc in the eye with an arrow and then shoots the one behind him with the same arrow, went like I did, and said, 'wow, I want to do that in D&D' I do think that 4e is very geared towards the action movie genre and generating an action movie like narrative.
