WalkingLobsters 08/27/22 4:23:03 PM #1:	i like japanese RPGs because the boss fights are very well done. Building up to a boss fight is my favorite part of japanese RPGs. In addition, the combat often has significantly more depth. Oblivion, skyrim, witcher 3, etc. all have simplistic combat and general things like movement feel stiff --- http://i.imgur.com/fsYJcFn.jpg http://i.imgur.com/SZie71I.jpg Starcraft 2 Username = Gears <cite>WalkingLobsters posted [p:967614512] in do you pre...

When it comes to immersion and exploration, I'd say WRPGs have JRPGs beat. The aesthetic and stories are a bit different as well. WRPGs often draw from established and mature genres like fantasy or sci-fi, and like to stay in that comfortable space. JRPGs on the other hand do draw from established genres like any work, but they really delve into the surreal and fantastical. I'd say JRPGs are not as dark and gritty as WRPGs.
