Bolded: Huh? I've personally always held WKC in high regard due to the history of Level-5's past games as I'm sure many have. Surely not as high as I regard FFXIII but I don't see how they are connected (pretty sure that is the game you're refering to to, right?).

Italicized: I'm very much of the opposite. I typically dislike the stories of most WRPG's and while I don't think most JRPG's have good/average stories, I think their best are above and beyond any type of RPG.

Bolded:  The opposite.  A few Sony fans in this thread are suddenly sceptical of WKC because it has been compared to DQ, a Nintendo-affiliated franchise.  Personally, I am pumped for WKC.

Italicize:  Agree to disagree?  I find the vast majority of JRPG's to have rather generic, boring and linear storylines.  That said, they often have more interesting characters than WRPG's.

 

Bolded: I realized shortly after I had posted, sorry about that. But on that note, I loved DQVIII regardless of its story and can't wait for DQIX on the DS. I'll admit, I was initially skeptical of having large scale RPG's on a handheld, but after playing FFIV DS,those worries are completely erased.

Italicized: Definately. I think I should have labeled my preferences a bit more carefully. I can't argue that JRPG storylines are not typically generic and linear (I really don't mind linear though, I like it to read like a good book) because they are, but it is the characterizations that I'm attracted to. So I can certainly understand why you would think otherwise.
