That is exactly why I still collect and play JRPGs. To be honest, the story isn't anything groundbreaking – it's often poor and woven with the most predictable tropes. What keeps me engaged is the gameplay. If the battle system works well and is enjoyable to master, that's all that matters. Good characters certainly don't hurt either. So yes, gameplay takes precedence over story for me. I'm rarely convinced by a great storyline in most games—and I play a lot.

Gameplay/Fun > Story

Baka-Updates and two French sites are far superior—more detailed, complete, and less restrictive. They're perfect for manga, light novel, and book collectors like me, making the process much less stressful and tiring. -g-

See, I feel like there's a clear distinction
between a simple or non-focus story a-la
FF1/FF3 or DQ games, Lufia, Phantasy Star,
etc etc. Modern examples would be the nino
kuni games or the monster hunter stories.
JRPGs with a focus on story that do not deliver
a good story are the worse, no matter how
good the gameplay might be. Many atlus JRPGs
do fall on this side where perhaps the gameplay
is good but you spend SO much time in dialogue
for a story that is so boring, it brings the game
down for me.

So yes. Bad story =! story that is purposely not
impressive, but a story that wastes your time,
and in that case, ehhhh, gameplay does not carry it.

^^^No, story is more important. I can get rid of a game for its dumb or boring story but gameplay should be literally impossible to play for me to abort the game.

^^I agree with Asschewer, old animes aren't fun unless it's Miyazaki Hayao's works or Sailor Moon.

Often worn as women's fashion. Yeah, so that's something I can talk about. I'm generally the type to show off when I have the opportunity, which means leaving my head uncovered. However, I'm usually in too much of a hurry to do anything with my hair beyond a ponytail. My town has a crazy old man with a ponytail who talks to invisible people, and I don't want to be seen as that class of person, so maybe I should wear a hood to show modesty or something.

I like to imagine that it's just normal for them to have a bunch of copies of the same clothes (they break the 4th wall with this a little bit in Atelier Ayesha when they mention this one girl has to get her entire outfit replaced multiple times a month, like essentially her closet is just a row of the same fit)

There is no cure or 'antidote' for it unless a) you're a fun, easygoing person with lots of friends or b) you are fine with being alone; and even then, we will all be by ourselves in the end.
