The shared mana pool, was the one thing I quite liked about them actually.

Skies Of Arcadia was without a doubt the best RPG that Sega have ever been responsible for, although I will say Shenmue was the most adventurous and really was groundbreaking for me as a player.

I've actually been trying to play some of the Mega Drive Phanstaystar's and I can see their charm, in a way I wish I could play these games in the same wide eyed way I played SOA.

also a quick shout out for the Yakuza games as they kick ass literally

Ok I can see your angle on that one, but when I think of adventure I think lara/drake not ryo. Y'know the old 'flick the switch to open the door, shoot that thing in the head' style game. I guess if we get down to the conventions of a RPG the only thing Shenmue has going for it is grinding in the car park. Its still an RPG in my heart though.

Uh well it's more like the old PC adventure games like Broken Sword and Monkey Island.

I guess, although they had 'point and click' thrown onto the front of them. By the same notion I think the lara/drake/Prince of Persia are 'action adventure'

I could go with adventure for Shenmue as its so free form in its story telling and by all intensive purposes a complete and utter adventure in the truest sense of the word.

Lets call it a 'sailor finding adventure' :P
