JRPG's and WRPG's are genres not places or origin.

Saying something like Demons souls is a JRPG because it was made in Japan is like calling a Pizza made in England English food, it's still Italian no matter where it's made.

Not sure what all this talk about RPGs really matters. RPGs are RPGS. How you identify them may be different from others but I don't think too many reasonably headed people would let the value of x game diminish because of someone else's interpretation of RPG is...

uummm

Yeah I'm Italian but considered American...

Uhhh... wait what does that matter? I don't know just contributing to the thread :D

In my opinion, having played a few of each. To say thatn JRPGs are linear and WRPGs are more open world, they never quite played some of the early WRPGs. Often the way a game plays can be dictated to you by the technology. Stories, often need to be linear, the main story. As far as I could tell if you played Oblivion and you followed the main story quest straight away, you would have felt that the game was terriobly linear. I know in FFVII, once you left Midgar, you are put into this huge open environment that enabled you to go must places, If you simply followed the main story (and early on there wasn't much else to do outside the main story) it was linear again. I think often the differences between then two are often mechanics of the games and the art styles. If you start breaking the elements down, they aren't that different from each other.
