Everything from role-playing to traditional RPG battle systems to the way the games tend to "flow". Plenty of these elements can be found in other genres, Drakengard doesn't have a single one. It's a mission based action game with zero role-playing, choice, and you can't even upgrade equipment outside of weapons automatically leveling up if used.

A lot of JRPG games don't have these, like the tales of series, or the new final fantasy games that are undisputedly RPGs.
>the way the games tend to "flow"
Explain further
>zero role-playing, choice,
That sounds like most JRPGs I've played.
>you can't even upgrade equipment outside of weapons automatically leveling up if used.
Most JRPGs automatically level you up when you get XP (kills) and don't let you choose your stats either. Only a small subsection of them really let you "upgrade" weapons anyways.
>>
>>336873939
>Explain further
How many JRPGs have you played where instead of one campaign, the game is just a series of disconnected levels selected from a menu, and you can replay them all at will?

Calling this game an RPG of any sort is like calling Hitman an RPG.

In an of itself, you are correct. Using hubs/overworlds/single campaigns is a genre staple, but violating that one staple doesn't stop the game from being an RPG.

The problem is that it doesn't fit a single other staple. It's as much an RPG as Super Mario Bros. is a survival horror game, or World of Warcraft is a third person shooter. I'm not nitpicking you for thinking Drakengard is an RPG, using technicalities to disqualify it. I'm genuinely baffled that anyone could think it is anything like an RPG.

I'm not going to list all the staples because then you'll claim that it doesn't need to fit any of them to be an RPG.

It is considered to be a ARPG, which is a subset of RPG, and it is from japan. There are stats, a story and even the choice of multiple endings. I don't see how you can say it's not at all a JRPG, when plenty of other games with even less are considered to be JRPGs.
>>
>>336874921
Look, you're literally wrong. He's actually right.
You can say it defies archetypes, or even conventions. But that doesn't make it less of a JRPG than other JRPGs.

Literally the acronym means "Japanese Role-Playing Game."

All that is required is the game be produced in Japan, involve a character going on a quest, and have rules which can result in game over/death.

That's it. So yes, Mario Bros. is a JRPG. Because it literally follows what the literal words literally mean.
It's also a platformer, but a game can belong to more than one genre.

Not the samefag, btw.

>>336875108
There is a story being told though, there's text and shit. There's stats for movement speed and leveling from progressing your timing skills.

No not really, that's only the basesist excuse for gameplay. And all games have "stats" if you consider the hardcoded nature of the mathmatic world of a simulation, but not all video games have explicit stats based on experience points rooted in the table top RPG way of expressing gameplay.
