[QUOTE="hiphops_savior"][QUOTE="treedoor"]It beats having Demon's Soul, which is automatically disqualified because it's a JRPG with western themes. A game with anime influences developed by a western company would be a WRPG. From the list, I wouldn't comment on Dragon Age yet, my computer is down and I'm waiting until the holidays to play the game. So far, the Witcher and Neverwinter Nights 2 gets the nod. Thats flawed logic. Thats just like if someone were to make a western movie in texas, and they were from india, then you are basically saying that it would be an indian western movie, which would not be the case. But Westerns are tied to a setting and a style.. Western RPGs can be sci-fi of any sort, a variety of fantasy types... WRPG, to my mind, pretty much means "an RPG made in the west." It's usually associated with a style, but that doesn't seem the hard and fast rule. Westerns, on the other hand, are set in the wild west of North America, tied to a particular period - not to where it's made.Eww?

Besides, "JRPG" is the term WRPG is opposed to, and that's "Japense RPG" - obviously meant to be tied to Japan. Why wouldn't western RPGs be similarly tied to the west?
