Why are Castlevania,zelda,dragon quest are so popular??

With RGPs, that stuff can be important... but gameplay is still the priority for me. I don't like games such as Suikoden Tierkreis, where the story/dialogue was great but the gameplay/battle sucked because of little depth or variety.
My fave FF was IX btw, overall best in every aspect imo.

What about Kingdom Hearts? you do enjoy the induced pummelling in those right (albeit repetitive)?
After 1 & 2 the stories became stale, lame and unrelated. The gameplay is all i'll play them for now (until 3 finally comes), so they'd better continue improving/modifying the battle system like they did in Days.

 

@S.I.R - i respect all the games...^_^

@Thasaidon - though i don't like 2d platforming, im playing Spiderman Web of shadows and loving it, just a little difficult.

@Soulsin - Yup, fanbase is huge...haha...im just 17, the only games that i finished are, FFX(fave),FFVII,FFVIII,TWEWY, arc the lad,THe bouncer, disgaea DS, Rhapsody(PSx), advvance wars 2,Prof layton curious village,Star Ocean 2,KH1, and that's it, coz more sports videogames like tennis, nba, Soccer and fightng games Tekkens, Tobal no1,bloody roar, MVC, like that...and im more of DOTA in a couple of years though i stopped in january..

@Cahos - i love RPG, JRPG to be specific, and i dont read books, they're too much for me...haha

@usoppu - Suikoden for me is just okay, but the musics are awesome...i still dont finished FFIX,haha..KH 1 i played, its okay for me...yup, i think they're getting to much side story, that's the reason why im not a fan of FFVII due too much side story..

i mean is the font used in the dialog, arial,comic san, thats what im sayying, coz if the font is not my type, it gives me headache and then i just press the buttons and dont read the dialogues..hehe

 

The first Zelda you should play should be Ocarina of time(n64).Its the best in graphics,sound,gameplay and story..Simply the best game ever made.<3
