Do you think Animal Crossing is an RPG?

[Blue Cup]

It's about as much of an RPG as Zelda is.

It's a simulation game plain and simple.

 

[Yetiman15]

I'd say it's just a sim...

 

[Pocky Sticks Galore]

No, AC is a simulation game.

Yes AC is a simulation game, quite a few people refer to it as an RPG, but it isn't, It's probably the only Do Nothing All Day game in the world, not that it isn't fun, it is, but it's very casual and is nothing like an RPG.

 

[Ron Ronaldo]

Nah, it lacks the traditional elements of an RPG like fighting monsters, world exploration (well, you've got the city but that's about it XD), leveling up, etc.
I'd definitely stick it in the simulation category. It's such a cute game, though! c:

 

[«Jack»]

If you call this an RPG simply because you play as a person, then every game is an RPG. It's a sim.

 

[Turbo Tails]

Definitely a simulation.
When I play AC, I don't think Pokemon or Final Fantasy.
