Topic	So, Should We Stop Saying JRPG? (The Jimquisition)
Dikitain 03/11/23 11:32:12 PM #24:	Back almost 40 years ago it kind of had a meaning. It was literally an RPG that was simplified for larger appeal (and made in Japan since there really weren't Western companies making console games at the time). Nowadays with the line between WRPGs and JRPGs being blurred to the point that the only difference is their country or origin, it doesn't really make sense to use those terms anymore. Most modern AAA "JRPGs" are basically open-world action RPGs, and most modern indie "WRPGs" are turn-based console-style RPGs. --- My bookshelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/152760030 Comics: https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/profile/dikitain <cite>Dikitain posted [p:972114461] in So, Should...
