Valkyria Chronicles isn't a JRPG
its an SRPG.....n SRPG fans actually have many games on PS3 for them including this n disgaee 3.. |
While i agree this topic has been discussed before, according to the site mod naznatips , along with alot of members of this site a srpg like Valkyria Chronicles is still classified as a jrpg. Thread discussed in :

No it's not. Classifying VC as a jrpg is just a round-about way of touting the PS3's library. I don't care what you, Nazna, or anyone says. It's generally accepted, by everyone, and also very obvious, that Disgaea and jrpg games are in different genres.
To say that srpgs are jrpgs is implying that srpgs don't exist. There is no need for discussion beyond that point.
Also, as far as classifying jrpgs....you'll know it when you see it.
No matter how many people you get to disagree with me, you'd still be wrong.
The only possible explaination is that "srpgs" are a subgenre of jrpgs, which they are. A square is also a rectangle.....but a rectange is not a square. It's a different genre, sub or not.

So if you admit this then how are sRPGs and jRPGs mutually exclusive. And on the note of roundabout ways, I could suggest that classifying sRPGs as not counting as jRPG's is just a roundabout way of bringing down the PS3's library and discounting these titles as not counting towards jRPG lists.

I wouldn't say mutually exclusive. I would say that so few people care about SRPGS that a whole bucket of awesome ones don't measure up to one mediocre "regular" JRPG in terms of which console has the best JRPGs.
This is coming from someone who likes SRPGS about 5 times more then any other genre at least.
Basically SRPGS would be the equivlent of those bullets hitting the back of the tank... compared to a rocket from a lancer.
