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.

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)

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

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.

Pretty much agree.



And yes, I am a loser.
