For instance, I have never played an Eastern style CRPG, yet name the Western oriented CRPG and I have played every single (decent) one that has come out. Generally what that comes back to is Eastern RPG's are more oriented around the spectacular (wuxia) where even the lowest level characters create effects which make the world shake, whereas the western ideal is a bit more grounded.I guess thats what I like. When playing RPG's I need to be able to loose myself in the setting, to envisage what is going on. I find that immersion easier when things fall into the realm of believe-ability, so I find T1 the more preferable approach.The other part is the type of hero I like. John Mcclain is one of my all time favorite movie heroes. Did he fly? No. Was he Bulletproof? No. Could he slow time around himself or create illusions? No. Could he run up walls and fight while upside down? So What the hell good was he?...guts. He was just the guy who didnt give up. That no matter how much was thrown at him, he just kept coming. After recently watching "Hero" with Jet Li, which had incredible UNBELIEVABLE wuxia, I have to say that I found John Mcclain to still be a far greater hero than the semi-magical warriors from the wuxia genre.To me, it all comes back to what you consider a hero to be.</blockquote>
