Sky Render said: The difference, traditionally, has been that Japanese RPGs have been derived from the system that Dragon Quest introduced, while most western RPGs have been based upon the system that Dungeons & Dragons introduced. Over the years, the two have begun to meld into each other, but the split is still fairly apparent in one respect: JRPGs are almost universally simpler in gameplay interface than WRPGs. SRPG is short for Strategy RPG. That's an entirely different kettle of fish, and what you might even call a prototype melding of WRPG and JRPG on neutral grounds. I'll let somebody else go into detail about them, however. |
This is an odd description. Dragon Quest was inspired by Wizardry and Ultima.
