WRPG VERSUS JRPG

WRPG VS JRPG

IT'S EAST VERSUS WEST ALL OVER AGAIN BITCHES


WRPGS = Games with Content

JRPGs = Leveling



WRPGs = NPCs with text worth reading

JRPGs = How's the weather?



WRPGs = Free will and you can play through without even being aware of what your stats/skills/levels are due to the amount of flexible game design and content.

JRPGs = Spikey hair bishi follows long hair bishi, AERISUUUU dies-sama T_____T



WRPG = Character designs that look visually appropriate to the theme and setting.

JRPGs = Characters take 10 hours to style their hair and get dressed each day.

Get over yourself.

Nerd = Nerd no matter what type of geeky shit you play.

I looked over that thread.

The only thing its changed is that its further proven to me that the majority of /v/ers are closet red necks, and people who function on double standards and self made half truths.
I would never go to /v/ for intelligent opinions and your just proof of why.

Indeed, get over yourself fag. You don't have superior tastes in RPGs, you just have your own taste and you think its god's gift to humanity.

That sure is a knee-slapper! Your wit never ceases to amaze me.

WAH, GEE GOLLY MISTAH! THAT SHOR WUZ A GOODUN! WADDEN IT?!

i don't think i'm ever coming back to the text boards.

This arguement is almost sort of relavent, except how many wrpgs are there that arent based on D&D? (KoToR playes like Neverwinter Nights 1/2 plays like Baldurs Gate plays like Hey I'm Tired of This.) We've got oblivion...and...um...morrowind?

fallout and fallout 2, vampire the masquerade bloodlines, deus ex, might and magic series, bioshock pretty soon, mass effect, jade empire, daggerfall, arena, diablo, diablo 2, nox, countless mmorpgs, thats off the top of my head.

D&D > you

>>16
how many jrpgs are there that aren't shitty simplifications of D&D?  the japanese just steal ideas like RPGs and animation, and ruin them.

NO U

WRPGs existed before JRPGs. Without D&D, Final Fantasy and all those other widely praised (although shitty) JPRGs wouldn't exist.

Let's compare two very famous continuing RPG sagas: Elder Scrolls (WRPG) and Final Fantasy (JPRG). The Elder Scrolls games are known to be some of the best RPGs of all time, and they have hundreds of of hour of gameplay in each game, with involving storylines and deep strategy. It also has hundreds of hours more of reading material in-game, especially Morrowind, like actual short books in libraries with many pages of detailed lore regarding The Elder Scrolls and its history. However, FF games are just like any other Japanese RPGs but have a sappy love story which never ends and a million re-releases. As generic as it gets.

The only people who like Japanese RPGs are sexually frustrated preteen weeaboos, who like it because of all the sappy love triangles and the fact that anime art styles look glossy and candy-coated.

>>21 tries to sound factual but is nothing but biased. Let's review:

>Without D&D, Final Fantasy and all those other widely praised (although shitty) JPRGs wouldn't exist.

Truth, though neither would WRPG's like Morrowind, nor games BASED off D&D settings like Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment.

>Let's compare two very famous continuing RPG sagas: Elder Scrolls (WRPG) and Final Fantasy (JPRG).

k

>The Elder Scrolls games are known to be some of the best RPGs of all time

So are Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and the Tales series.

>and they have hundreds of of hour of gameplay in each game, with involving storylines and deep strategy.

Hundreds of hours is not necessarily a good thing. It's because of such that I, among many other people, never bothered to complete Morrowind. Also, involving storyline? Deep Strategy? I don't think you even played Morrowind. The plot is just as deep as any JRPG: save the world! Sure, the setting was great and deep, but the main story not so much. As for strategy, I'd hardly call the paltry battle mechanics "deep."

>It also has hundreds of hours more of reading material in-game, especially Morrowind, like actual short books in libraries with many pages of detailed lore regarding The Elder Scrolls and its history.

Agree, and it's a good point.

>However, FF games are just like any other Japanese RPGs but have a sappy love story which never ends and a million re-releases. As generic as it gets.

Not every FF features a love story. I don't recall sappy love stories in FF 1, 6, 7, 9, or 12, and those are just the ones I've played enough to mention. The only one I recall that featured the romance was 8, and I'm not alone in not liking that one.

Once again you bash Final Fantasy for being generic (I won't entirely disagree with you, but then, Final Fantasy has over three times the number of games under it's belt than TES, so it's not unexpected), but fail to see that Morrowind and (by association) Oblivion both feature shitty plots: "become an hero and save the world from the forces of evil." This is no different than, say FF7, except the characters in that DO have emotional attachements to their quest. That would be "generic" to you, though (Protip: Before reviewing a game or genre, leave the hype at the door.)

>The only people who like Japanese RPGs are sexually frustrated preteen weeaboos

Funny, because I'm 20 years of age and am anything but "sexually frustrated." I guess you'll be mature here and say that I live with my parents or something in a vain attempt to change reality to help your argument. I do enjoy anime (as do most people on this site), but am no weeaboo. Your dislike for a particular type of animation obviously has made you just as biased and "holier-than-thou" as the people you obviously hate.


Also, in before "serious business."

>>21
Oblivion is strategic? You mean an RPG that plays like an fps is strategic? Deep story?? Any game where you create your own character detaches you from the story because they cannot completely react to what you've created. Yes, TES has very good lore; they're on their 4th game set in the same world, so that tends to happen. Most JRPGs are set in unique universes so there isn't as much time to develop a backstory because its a single game. And as for FF having sappy love stories...8, 10 and 10-2 (i think, didnt play it b/c 10 sucked) did. 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12 and Tactics did not. (11 is a MMO, so no story, havent played the rest)

>>17
Fallout and Deus Ex i'll give you (and daggerfall but I figured I covered TES). And to be fair, WRPGs did also have Ultima. However, every fantasy MMO is a D&D clone:
D&D --> MUDs --> MMOs

>>19
No final fantasy game besides the original is even remotely similar to D&D in mechanics. MP based spells instead of Vancian spells/day, different stat systems, FF has a much higher scale, armor mitigating damage instead of decreasing chance to hit, etc etc. Honestly I'd like to know which JRPGs you consider D&D ripoffs, besides in the basic heroes killing monsters premise.

>>22
Pretty much agree.



And yes, I am a loser.

Everyone in this thread is biased.







...






RPGs all suck anyway.

WRPG with text worth reading? WRPGs don't even have story, they're all the same "freedom" thing with smillar battle systems. And WRPGs fans complaing about JRPG...

>>25
I'd take "freedom" over running down the same hallway 18 times in order to level up enough to beat a boss that has incredibly cheap moves, and will most likly own your ass multiple times because all he does is spam some sort of uber move over and over again, eventually draining you of enough health to warrent your cleric healing you, but only you, so your team mates slowly die off, leaving you to fight him alone, get your ass reamed, and start over, at the same hallway.
Yeah, i'd take freedom over that.

>>23

If anything FF11 did right, it was the story.  It's the only MMO i played that felt like you were actually going through a plot line and give FFX-2 a go.  The Story may be shit but the battlesystem was really fun

jrpgs sucks ass believe i now, i played all the xbox jrpgs

WRPGs are super gay

STFU Noob

Way to bump a five year old thread, jerkface.
