Interesting that both options got way more than Both. Not a lot of overlap, apparently.

Star Ocean 2nd Story remake

Everything about it looks like a massive improvement over the original while the Super Mario RPG remake looks like a back step.

What if I rephrased it as this?: What does Star Ocean have that SMRPG doesn't which makes it a weeb game?

Star Ocean is only superficially anime-like, based on its character designs. SMRPG is way more derivative of anime.

No Switch and while I am more excited about the Star Ocean 2 remake after reading about all the new additions to it, it still may not be a day one purchase despite being an all time favorite from the Playstation era.

probably star ocean 2 since i never played it. the rest of the series sucks but people insist this is the good one

mario rpg is a fine game but it's super short and easy and the remake gives me absolutely no reason to spend $60 on what's essentially an untouched experience of a game i don't really care for

That's just the art style. SMRPG's writing takes more inspiration from anime.

Wtf, star ocean as a series is anime as hell lol. (Which isn't even a bad thing/a strike against it/a supposed "negative", etc. etc.). Literal space cat girls, and the plots for every game is standard shonen-like fare. It's appeal is basically being anime star trek.

Lol @ people in general who are trying to act like they are too cool for school to play a weeby deeby rpg game. Its like 11:18 pm eastern time during a saturday night on a niche board like this and we hangin' around talking about the space star trek rpg or the cutesy mario rpg game we played as kids...we all some goddamn nerdlings up in this mofo so when it is all said and done embrace both games in all of their nerdy glory with open arms, lmao.

Lmfao yeah it is. You are never too old to enjoy a good anime stare-down and then a anime super speed blitz like the ten wise men did at 0:48. Also rena's super cool kung-fu flip dodging at 1:01.

Weeaboo is such a strange word. To be honest I never even heard/read the word until I started posting here about Persona 4 when it was new probably. I watched a little anime before and weeb is a derogatory term, but things hah I guess fascination with Japenese culture over one's own is a mouthful.

I didn't say it was a bad thing to be inspired by anime; I like both games. But I think it's inaccurate to single out Star Ocean for being derivative of anime.

Star Ocean looks like anime but takes more inspiration from Star Trek, whereas SMRPG looks like Mario games but takes more inspiration from gag manga.

https://legendsoflocalization.com/the-pop-culture-obsessed-monsters-in-japanese-super-mario-rpg/

Its writing, including its characters and plot, also rely almost completely on parody references to anime and manga.

Weeb is a pretty fun word to use not going to lie, lol, but imo its never serious business enough to get upset about it. Sometimes you just have to embrace what you are......like I was playing the second baki hanma opening (from the father vs son fight) in my car one day and dudes next to me at the stop sign kind of looked at me funny, but it is ok....there is a little bit of weeb in us all.

There is one type of person that goes beyond the regular weeb, and that is the kind that asks for japanese voices in like a harry potter, last of us, or something like gears of war game. That is just disgusting and if you ever fall so far into depravity that you are asking to watch star wars in japanese then you are a goddamn degenerate.
