Nowadays the quality of JRPGs is measured in the number of WRPG-like elements it successfully implements. Think about it.
Maybe some people do that, but I sure as hell don't. Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia are my favorite JRPGs of the generation, and they don't have any WRPG elements.
EDIT: And happy belated birthday to FFX, second best game of the past decade (Okami number 1).
