I was out visiting the Haunted Mine the other night, and I got to thinking..
Does a seamless neighborhood and highly interactive, clickable inventory open the doorway to a possible Sims RPG?
I mean, most current RPGs aren't far off from Sims, as graphics go. They could even copy the basic concept they had for "Castaway", where your Sim has to collect pieces and complete goals to return to their own world or time.
If there was a medieval-style Sims game, with a continuous storyline (like story progression in TS3), would you play it?
What are your ideas?

Double-genre is not at all uncommon for video games. Horror/Action, for example. The Sims has always been RPG/Simulation. Skill building is a quality exclusive to RPG games. In essence, all video games are "RPGs." The term doesn't apply specifically to games like World of Warcraft or Everquest.

However, WoW and EQ are MMORPG's, to be exact :P
Picky, picky. I should've expected that.
Woo, they get three extra letters because they're online. :roll:
If you want a Sims RPG, play The Sims Stories series.
In that game, you could log into your own house and only visit other houses if someone was home. Which is why people had roommates that played different hours.
The downfall of the TSO was you had to become a skill bot (and actually most people just botted that part). It was boring leveling cooking to 10 by reading a book and sitting for hours and hours in between bathroom breaks for your Sim. Then you took that skill and played min-games. Which was boring. Only to earn enough money to buy hardly anything.
Anyway, if they took the Sims 3 idea of working in a "non-use" building that would help a lot.
Part of TSO was also people just were not ready for it. But now with Yoville hugely popular, people want to play games where they just chat and add some cash to make a pretty house. Heck, that's all I ever did in EQ2
The sims series(and even more so with sims 3) adds the ability to make roles and characters, and tell storys. It also can be played as a more strict life simulator. Each further generation of the series has made the storyplay elements more present, but as opposed to traditional rpgs, you are playing both the characters and the man behind the curtain pulling all the strings. Its unique in that respect from other games.
As for sims online, i played it long ago and mainly used it to chat with people from different places, while having little things to keep me occupied while i was chatting
You do realize you just necro'd a post from 2009 right?
And what's with the Moogle speak?
And this why the older threads like this need to be locked as this was an old dead buried thread that just came back from the past just because the person who resurrected it couldn't find and comment on newer posts that are still being posted on.
This time last year, the older threads were locked if there wasn't any type of activity made on them since January 2014 and older. I just wish that they would go back and lock the older ones from there on back to 2009 that hasn't been commented on since then...

He actually didn't dig it up at random...it was linked in my recent thread on the same topic.
Ah, okay then. I was just wondering how they even found this thread but I see that someone had linked it into another thread. Thanks for clearing that up for me...

"Kupo" is my catchphrase, kupo! And it was my catchphrase even before I knew it was the Moogle's catchphrase, kupo! (I used to think Squeenix stole it from me)
Unless you have been saying that for like 30 years, I'm willing to bet you heard it before you started saying it. Saying you started doing something before you noticed it was part of pop culture is hard to believe, harder to prove.
I started saying Kupo when I was 6 in about February-March 2005. I was'nt in school yet (just a small daycare), and did'nt know many people, but I thought it was super cute. Kupo! While my first Final Fantasy videogame (and the first time I saw a Moogle) was Final Fantasy XII. Kupo!
