If you're looking to bait people, you're doing a pretty good job. You're still a fuckboy, though.

wrpgs usually have better turn based combat
>>
jrpgs are generally better if you want a linear coherent story

wrpgs are generally better if you want to focus on roleplaying and have the overarching story be second to developing your character

I don't like the common aesthetics for jrpg's, and that's the biggest reason I haven't played many.

Japan is superior in every way.

Morrowind is a way better game than FF7 so I guess wrpgs are the clear winner
>>
This bait was better when it had Persona 3 as an example of "deep strategic combat"
>>
They both have shit games and great games. They both have shit aspects and good aspects to them. It really depends on if your a big fan of colourful or gritty games.
>>
Good games. A bad JRPG is as bad as a bad WRPG, a good JRPG is as good as a good WRPG.
>>
>>343787978
the player isn't playing a role, they're simply watching a story unfold unlike games like Ultimas where the main story is like a side note

I think that the WRPG list has slightly higher highs for me, but the JRPG list is more numerous and has a higher average quality imo.

I'm not really sure which I'd pick tbqh.

inb4 some autist who thinks "JRPG" or "WRPG" should be considered genres gets triggered
>>
From what I played of JRPGs(Which isn't many), it seems to me that JRPGS are more about experiencing the story rather than change the story like in WRPGS.

Good taste
>>
>>343785023
one is a bit more wacky
the other is a bit more serious

honestly is depends on whether you like action or turn-based combat more than the J or the W.
>>
>>343789362
I kinda consider them to be borderline SRPGs. Also I just really wanted to give them the shout out
>>
>>343789525
Yeah I guess thats alright then. I love those games as well.
