Well... I'm a RPG lover and what the article describes is exactly why I gravitate a whola lot more towards "J"RPGs than Western, "C"RPGs. I don't want to roleplay as myself, I want to roleplay as Ramza, Crono, Terra, the Traveler, even Mario. I don't want to play a role in a simulator, I want to play a role in a myth. This choice is my freedom.
