What are the differences between JRPGS and RPGS?
>>
>>344935759
One is made exclusively in Japan, the other is not.
>>
fucking women soldiers.. lol
>>
RPGs are roleplaying games
JRPGs are roleplaying games from japan

Final fantasy is a JRPG
Shin Megami Tensei is a JRPG
Dark Souls is an Action-Adventure/JRPG

JRPGs are still RPGs, theyre just made in japan, so people put the J to accentuate that.
>>
the one on the left is surprisingly less realistic

also, what fucking WRPGS have soldiers? most of them are Middle Earth shit with swords and wizards.
>>
schoolgirls with big breasts and BLUE/PINK/RED hair color.. thats a JRPG
>>
>>344935759
RPG are good games.
JRPGS these days...
>>
>>344935759
The "J".

What's the difference between JPGS and PNGS?
>>
>>344935759
JRPGs are a subset of RPGs that are made in Japan. The J has nothing to do with the gameplay, themes, or anything else. Some JRPGs are nearly indistinguishable from non-J-RPGs.

The real question is "what the fuck is a RPG" because nowadays it has nothing to do with role playing.
>>
>>344935759
Anon, I would pay serious money for a CCS RPG.
>>
>>344937108
Examples? I can't think of many good RPGs from this decade.
>>
>>344935759
RPGS are video games.
JRPGS are high school simulators for autistic neckbeards.
>>
>>344935759

>RPG

that's clearly an assault rifle
>>
JRPG specifically refers to RPG's from japan, however in context it generally refers to a particular theme of RPG that the japanese tend to make and the west dont.
Dragon's Quest being the go-to JRPG when your comparing themes.

Dark Souls is a japanese RPG game but it's themed around western themes and so you'd never really put it into the JRPG context, you'd just say it's an RPG made by japs.
Dragon's Dogma is similar, western themes.

JRPG
>How can we make our game fun and enjoyable and sell the game itself?
WRPG
>Dude open world season pass we don't need plot or gameplay if we have an epic overworlddddd
>>
>>344935759
>Differences
JRPGs are from Japan. WRPGs aren't.

>Similarities
They're both horrible, and are played by horrible people (Normalfags and Weebs, respectively)
>>
>>344935759
Woman on the left is white and still looks mildly attractive, at least try to be accurate!

Also, I really want a CCS jrpg!
>>
>>344935759
Both are fantasy, the one on the right is cute though

>RPGs
Generally speaking "YOU" are the character, you select your character appearance, sex, (not always but usually) and stat attributes and play in a sandbox where your choices are fairly open-ended and can effect world events in different ways.
>JRPG
More linear story based games with a level up and stat allocation system where you control a established character that goes on a established journey which usually play out the same way each time with little or no choices involved, you are along for the ride and continue the game to see the story unfolds.
>>
>>344935759
>WRPGs
>Usually crappy real time gameplay. Not that real time gameplay is crappy but their gameplay usually is.
>More choice based system but it usually doesn't matter and its black and white as fuck
>Boring forgettable cast and the main character if hes not just a player character is the only likable one most of the time
>JRPG
>Little to no choice bias in most series
>Gameplay is usually decent or better either solid turn based gameplay or fun combo based Tales system some games have bad real time gameplay or shallow turn based gameplay without enough mechanics to make it good
>Likable cast

I take JRPGs over WRPGs but i love some WRPGs alot too.
>>
>>344937108
>RPGs
>Good in general nowadays

Please don't tell me you think WRPGs are fine as well. Shit like TW3 hardly even can be considered gameplay.
>>
SMT: Nocturne is more of a RPG than anything the west shat out last 2 decades.
>>
>>344935759
JRPGS are probably superior in everyway but maybe just not writing as of recent.

Let's make a good combat system

Lets appeal to social trends, and to people that don't play games.

I like to play them when i get tired of getting 1CCs on shmups and Training for EVO.
>>
>>344935759

WRPGs are actual role playing games

JRPGs are the game equivalent of navigating a DVD menu
>>
I wish we had more girls like the right, and none like the left. Fuck feminism.

Who is the girl on the right?
>>
>>344940434
>>344940639
These video game comparisons are so obliviously biased and so nit picked. I seriously hope no one looking actually takes these as pure truth.

Modern WRPGs *are* JRPGs. Same bullshit.

Play classic, OLD CRPGs. No, fucking Baldur's Gate isn't a CRPG, it's got a ton of bullshit in it that makes it closer to modern RPGs.
