With the caveat that this is a very subjective taxonomy, I don’t really play action games and absolutely consider MH an RPG. It has the grinding aspect, the sense of making progress every time I play by gathering loot and improving my character. And then a lot of the game is spent in menus, optimizing and…

I love how every comment section of an FF game is everyone ranking their favorites, just because the series is so disjointed and has such big leaps of style and structure.

Ok so I thought this was a self-aware, mostly ironic joke, which I’m just putting here because it seems everyone else read it as this guy's a monster
