Hot on the heels of iPhone cult hit Game Dev Story is a rather in-jokey PC freebie parody named Games Journo Story.
Is this real life? Is this just fantasy?
Depends on the game really and what's it's setting out to do.
RPGs have their history intertwined with fantasy, dragons and valkyrie breasts but there's room for a lot of variation. Can't set a general rule on that.

I never understand these articles.
If a developer wants to make an RPG that's realistic I think that's really cool but I don't understand these bizarre generalizations like "should RPGs be realistic" I mean is the author not understanding that that is up to the interpretation and discretion of the designer and developer?
So should RPGs be more realistic? Well I don't know but that is up to the developer, is somebody seriously asking if I developers allowed to create something they want or?
So to be frank I believe RPGs should be whatever the developer wants it to be I think that maybe this article needs to word itself better or have a more specific thing it's asking as opposed to a very very strange generalization.
So there isn't a should or shouldn't because there is no right or wrong way you're talking about something that is subjective and varies by nature.
It depends on what you are trying to do with your game. Personally, I like high fantasy like Elder Scrolls, The Witcher or Final Fantasy.
