Thread: Japanese RPGs or Western RPGs?

  1. #1

    Default Japanese RPGs or Western RPGs?

    Which RPG genre, do you prefer Japanese RPGs or Western RPGs? I prefer Japanese RPGs because JRPGs are always released on consoles, you hardly ever see a Western RPG on a console and if you do it's exclusive to the X-Box.

    I generally prefer Japanese RPG's but this question puts me in the position to say I dislike one of the two, which I dont.

    Western RPGs because they're actually RPGs, unlike those japanese things. JRPGs interest me more though.

    I’m a racist swine, so it’s Western RPGs for me.

    Pretty much what Dreddz said, only substitute "Japanese" for "Western".
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    That above meh.

    I'm glad that we got the correct terminology in this thread... *remembers the old "US-RPG vs. J-RPG" topic*

    You want me to try and pick between the Fallout games and Final Fantasy?

    Well sir, I cannot.

    I think they both have good games. But Japan has Grandia, Skies of Arcadia, and of course Final Fantasy.

    I play more Japanese RPGs, but western ones can also be good.

    I enjoy both but for different reasons. JRPGs of late have been losing my interest as they are getting a bit too cliche and formulaic, and I really seem to prefer the branching paths of many Western RPGs. There are some great JRPGs though, so it really just depends on the game.
