everyone already knows this but anyway- here it is condensed
in the 70s fags got all gay over Lord of the rings, and fags enjoyed playing monopoly
they put the 2 together and created a rule set for playing LoTR (ok technically it isnt exactly lotr but you get the idea)
obviously pc games werent exactly around- the first commercially available computer- the apple 2 (ok again, technically not true- this was the 2nd computer, but the first was a fail from a fag who ended up making nothing from the computer boom anyways) wasnt up to task so dice playing was where it was at
richard garriot (a fucking child genius who basically raised the rpg genre from its infancy and created so many of the conventions and ideas we still use today its not even funny) was one of the first to create rpgs on computers based on D&D
that was late 70s
then he made ultima around 1980-
richard continued to basically push the rpg forward, untill the early 90s when EA fucked him over so bad, ruined ultima by forcing out of the door early and sent him into early retirement and killed his creative spirit
the japs werent really ready for rpgs because they are too complicated for them- so one jap- yuji horri- decided to dumb down ultima 4, and steal the battle ideas from wizardry (no thats not a lie- he admits it himself from interviews)
japan went all hard over this new game- and the jrpg was born
america never really got into rpgs- even its own because...... you know, americans are dumb fucks and all that- anyway, in europe rpgs boomed
in the late 90s, sony put 100 million into advertising and sold final fantasy in america, 10 milion worldwide sales later and america embraced JRPG
pissed that the japs were stealing all the loot, the west decided to make good games (although you know- fallout came out the same year as FF7 and only sold 100,000)
enter- mr todd howard- he loved rpgs, but what is crucial is he KNEW HOW TO SELL RPGs TO AMERICA
morrowind sells 3 million
wRPGs take the lead over japan
WoW rapes everyone even though its not really an rpg
oblivion destroys jrpgs for good
sakaguchi (the creator of final fantasy) leaves square- all future final fantasies after this point are SHIT
thats basically where we are today
