Honestly jRPG's have been far supassed years ago. I do agree that FF is the best that Japan has to offer and yes FF13 looks pretty sweet. It's still small potatoes to what the good ol US OF A puts out these days.

The amount of bad scores for Jrpg's is much worse then WRPG's

Couldnt agree more i always viewed JRPS as some of the worst games ive ever played. Only JRPG that i actually loved was Vangard Bandits.

I disagree. I have always preferred JRPGs to WRPGs.

That's fine. I still like JRPGs so there isn't really a problem. (Goes back to playing Vagrant Story)

I always like JRPGs better on handhelds, and by god did i enjoy my handheld JRPGs more then anything from the west

WRPGs have always dominated the PC though

Really? I find a lot of WRPGs to be really boring, doubly so for any Elder Scrolls game.

Mass Effect was awesome, but it alone can't hold up the entire genre.

Both are bad. JRPG's haven't moved forward, and despite still being better than modern JRPG's, WRPG's have gone backwards.

Are we talking about modern day or just in general? I thought you liked digital devil saga? I'm playing Vagrant Story right now andits a pretty good game.

How so with fresh new ideas like Alpha Protocol I mean that is a great new idea and has great developers working on it.

I'm in RPGs for the story, mostly, and interesting combat mechanic second. I don't particularly care much for expansive open worlds, so i still prefer JRPGs. I'm not saying WRPGs are bad by any means, but I find that they get rather boring. Sidequests are usually fetching things or killing a target, and combat is a pretty standard affair of hitting or shooting things. Sure, you can make that argument for JRPGs too, but the main focus is the main quest, and innovative combat mechanics can give games a strategic twist.

Again, I don't dislike the WRPG genre. In fact, I enjoyed the hell out of Oblivion. But I really don't see it ranking as high as something like Persona 3 and 4.

slince it & dice it no matter how you cut it thats your opinion.

FFX and FF7 (which I played AFTER FFX) were amazing experiences for me so no. FF13 is going to drop a turd on all other RPGs. It won't do everything amazing, but I'm sure it will be dam close..

Pen and Paper RPGs > both

I still prefer JRPGs to WRPGs.

yeah, i agree that now WRPGs are betters. but about 8-10 years ago, JRPGs ruled.

I will have to agree.

The majority of people who dislike jrpgs seem to play one final fantasy game, and believe all jrpgs are like that.. Other then Oblivion wrpgs have always lacked any memorable experiences. I don't doubt that considering we're in a western forum that wrpgs will get more support, but they all seem like action games rather then rpgs (the action is why the west likes them?). Yandere

.... Oh dear no. IMO JRPGs totally molly-whop WRPGs.

It depends on why you play RPGs. If you want unlimited freedom and customization options, u go for WRPG. If you want a focused story with emphasis on character development then JRPGs are the best. I hate WRPGs personally, they are devoid of emotions and very soulless. JRPGs mostly have great music as well that contributes to a lot of the emotions in the game. So saying WRPGs is better is meaningless because the two genres are VERY different and appeal to different people
