Which do you like better: JRPGs or WRPGs?

Some examples of WRPGs: Fable, Mass Effect, Baldur's Gate, Fallout, Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Diablo, and etcetera.

Some examples of JRPGs: Final Fantasy, Mario & Luigi, Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Paper Mario, Dragon Quest, Kingdom Hearts, The World Ends With You, Lost Magic, The Last Remnant, Infinite Undiscovery, Xenogears, Xenosaga, //..hack, Radiant Silvergun, Odin Sphere, Persona 3: FES, Disgae, White Knight Chronicles/Story, Valkryonicle Chronicles, Baroque, and etcetera.

I personally go for JRPGs because I really the turn-based battles and Nintendo. =P You just can't beat Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Mario & Luigi, Paper Mario, and the like, in my opinion.

I haven't played many WRPGs, so it's hard to judge. I recently played Diablo II, though.

I prefer JRPGs by far to WRPGs. I really don't understand the appeal of WRPGs. Two of the big ones this gen: Oblivion and Mass Effect, I don't enjoy at all.

Yeah, I know it has, but I couldn't find one and wanted to see what the majority thought.

There's more choices in WRPGs that affect the outcome of the story (Fallout 3 has over 200 endings.), but I prefer the gameplay in JRPGs.

WRPGs in my opinion shouldn't even be compared to JRPGs. With JRPGs you have no control over the game. Your characters just go along for the ride concequence and option free.

WRPGs are far more complex and that's why I like them so much. You make your own decisions and suffer whatever concequences given from them. You make the story progress your way while you play.

You're in a car, JRPGs are in the backseat while WRPGs are the drivers.

Do you consider BioShock a WRPG, because the developers said it was?

Remember Pearl Harbor and how bad anime is, it's a poison on the youths of today's mind.

I'm talking Deus Ex, Witcher, BG2, Fallout, and Mass Effect even. Those WRPGs.

I agree. However, some side quests are better. For example- look at how fable did its. More so like personal goals in a way.

Anyway, you've also got to remember that JRPGs cheat, essentially,with random battles

As for the story aspect, it's mostly undebatable, JRPGs win everytime. A great story in a WRPG is really a average jrpg story

jrpg's all the way.

i've got tired of all wrpg's after 30 minutes i've played them. i just can't get into them.

And there you have one game that is not an RPG, and the other who is very light on RPG elements.

I want to get into MMORPGs.

WRPGs, they usually make more sense in story and gameplay.

Plus CRPGs like Diablo and Fallout (1,2) fall under the WRPG genre.

Not to mention, WRPGs usually have the game vary depending on how you play it.
