Wow, thats rude,, I like to believe the japanesse perfected the "RPG", I know obviously that most of the first rpgs, which were all usaully text based rpgs where american-made, but if you ask me the first real rpg in my opinion is Final Fantasy. Now how about giving some advice instead of just being an ass?

"Role-playing video games began in 1975 as an offshoot of early university mainframe computer text RPGs on PDP-10 and Unix-based computers, starting with Dungeon and graphical RPGs on the PLATO System, pedit5 and dnd, themselves inspired by traditional role-playing games. Other influences during this period were text adventures, Multiple-User Dungeons (MUDs) and roguelike games. Some of the first graphical CRPGs after pedit5 and dnd, were orthanc, avathar (later renamed avatar), oubliette, baradur, emprise, bnd, sorcery, moria, and dndworld, all of which were developed and became widely popular on PLATO during the latter 1970s, in large part due to PLATO's speed, fast graphics, nationwide network of terminals, and large number of players with access to those terminals. These were followed by (but did not always lead directly to) games on other platforms, such as Akalabeth (1980) (which gave rise to the well-known Ultima series), Wizardry, and Dungeons of Daggorath.

These early Ultima and Wizardry games are perhaps the largest influence on the later console RPG games that are now popular. Many innovations of Ultima III: Exodus (1983) eventually became standards of almost all RPGs in both the console market (if somewhat simplified to fit the gamepad) and the personal computer market. Later Dungeon Master (1987) introduced realtime gameplay and several user-interface innovations, such as direct manipulation of objects and the environment with the mouse, to first-person CRPGs."

Basically what I am looking for is something where you can reallly customize your character, Appearance-should be more than just different heads, eyes and hairstyle should be customize also,Jobs-Looking for something with 6 or more starting jobs, and choices to advance to on some higher level. Graphics-Can be well done 3D, or simple 2D.
Games I've played
SOS-0 out of 10-boring, level system is stupid, not being able fight for a while bores me to death.
Perfect World-7.1 out of 10-Alright, graphics look cool but are not even late PS2, customization is perfect, though the job system fails to deliver
Nostale-6.0-Fun, but too childish for me to get into also lacks appearance customization,
Neosteam-7.0-Like perfect world, but once again lacks customization
Everthing I played is so generic, same level system, same lack of features, same lack of jobs, and lack of random level and aspects. I'm looking for a unique experience, find something that plays like RO, but is free and is devolped a bit later.
