RPG World
''RPG World'' was a webcomic by Ian Jones-Quartey (a.k.a. Ian J.) that took place in the environment of a role-playing video game. While much of the humor and story-telling focused on parody of role-playing video game clichés and tropes (mostly from the ''Final Fantasy'' series, and particularly ''VII'') the story was also meant to stand on its own. The comic was drawn in an idiosyncratic manga-influenced style.
The author declared the comic on indefinite hiatus on August 16, 2005; though he briefly updated the site with previously published material in 2007, he has since abandoned it with an official announcement on September 15, 2008 and moved on to commercial animation projects.
==Nature of the strip==
Most of the story, characters and jokes were based on clichés in the console RPG and genre. For example, the main character, simply named "Hero", has large, blonde, spiky hair and amnesia, and wields an oversized sword — traits that are shared with the main protagonist of ''Final Fantasy VII'', Cloud Strife. The other characters fit into similar molds. The villains, too, fit a number of archetypes, such as the huge and faceless corporation, the insane and effeminate individual, and the enigmatic man. Other clichés include the tendency of every major character (and often minor ones as well) to have some sort of buried history with one another.
''RPG World'' chapters are called disks, as if it were a multiple-disk game. After every disk is over, Jones-Quartey takes a break by making ''Jim. The Guy Who Plays RPG World'' comics set in the real world and created using a combination of photoshop and simple photography. They poke fun at the stereotypes about gamers, i.e. Jim is a slob with a bias for Sony products, who has only one friend, who makes fun of him.
