You keep telling us 'it's opinion, it's opinion', yet you seem intent on ignoring the fact that we're (or, rather, Chrono and Karou) keep asking 'well what makes your opinion superior?'

Chrono is debating just as much as anyone else in this topic, he simply words his opinion in a way that seems to suggest that he - and only he - is right. Nonetheless, if you look at some of his points, he's certainly bringing up point of discussion, albeit in quite a forceful way. It's called confidence, amongst other things. Confidence sounds sexy and nice, though; so we'll go with that.

I have never stated that my opinions were superior, or that im right and your wrong. I just cant stand people who treat things as facts, or make assumptions as facts. U see it as confidence, i see it as arrorgance.

I would say it does. Unless the game just fails at implementing it altogether, which it obviously didn't in your opinion, or else you'd have brought up the point before. Roleplay is what makes Roleplaying Games Roleplaying Games. Without Roleplay in a roleplaying game, the point of playing it is lost and it may as well be a fantasy movie.

apparently u only take rolepaying as one sort of meaning, or meant to be only a distinct way of doing so. I think theres many ways they can approach at when doing an RPG. From the beginning of them to todays ive seen different types of them, yet they are all RPG. Ones that may fit the description of RPG to me isnt so distinct, but the games that follow ur point of view are hit or miss for me. Now persona didnt fail at that like u said, not for me anyways, but nor was it really epic or rememorable, or make the game a game that i could play through again and not get bored.

So as i said, (and this goes for any scenario in any subject) even if the roleplay feature however u want to describe it as, is better from one game to another, to some it doesnt equal a better game for that category. If it does for u, then thats fine.

. . .haha, this is lovely. . .

. . .i have not played persona or finished ffX, so i can not give an opinion. . .however, if you love to be tehcnical, then no, ff is not an rpg in many ways. . .but i will always love it for what is. . .

Persona is a better game then final fantasy.
how many final fantasy games have first person dungeon crawling?
how many final fantasy games have the ability to actually talk to the demons and become friends with them rather then just mindlessly kill them?

final fantasy is the same as playing final nazi fantasy seriously what did that slime monster ever do to the main characters. not a da** thing.

persona you reach out and talk to those monsters get to know them. learn what makes them tick.

when did tidus ever do that?
when did cloud ever do that?
when did bartz/butz ever do that?
when did cecil and his paladan buddy ever do that?
terra? she was the closest as she found out she was a self hater near the end and flew away leaving her team to die.

nakajima aneki created the demon device to communicate to the devils and get to know them.

F*** you square and your series of nazi like games.

And then when it is a full Kagutsuichi in Nocturne, Demons are unintelligible and they just go, "RAWR IT'S BRIGHT! UP YOOOUuuuuuRRRSsss~!" Just like that too. Sometimes they just appear and go, "Hay, I like your fairy friend. Here's 6000000 Macca. *fapfapfap*. This is the truth. So much dynamism in one series is enough to make me cry and buy three games consecutively. Oh wait, I did that and I spend days not moving from my couch...winning. And basically anything SMT is Persona..out of school and in HELL. D: dun dun dun win.

Because good games are always the ones you hear of the most... This is why Halo is so much better than Portal and Half-Life.

I like the point your making but that was a terrible comparison.

portal and half-life are both super popular games that i constantly heard about before playing them.

something better would be an obscure title like psychonauts that game is amazing.

Maybe so. But you don't hear about these games half as much as Halo now, and Halo does absolutely nothing innovative or interesting.
