But does Capcom even make RPGs anymore? I can imagine them turning it into an action game or something at the very least.

I'm pretty sure BadNewBlues was making a coy reference to Breath of Fire 6, which only came out in Japan in early 2016 & was pretty much a free-to-play, live service online RPG that wound up getting completely shut down in late 2017. Despite even bringing back Kappei Yamaguchi & Kyoko Hikami to voice Ryu & Nina, just as they had done for BoF's III, IV, & V, the game was summarily trashed critically in Japan & was dead after less than two whole years in service.

I mean, Dragon's Dogma 2 is coming out in a month or two and is one of the most-anticipated RPGs of 2024.
