WRPG
JRPG

Judging an RPG based on geographic location is stupid.


Those are different styles of games, not just location. You get different gameplay standards, stories, and art direction. These are all affected by cultural sensibilities. Just compare Oblivion to Lost Oddessy, along those points.

BTW, for the casual/hardcore thing, those did exist before, but describing gamers, not games. There are no hardcore games, only people who play games in a hardcore manner or not.

There are games that are pick-up-and-play, and games that require longer play sessions, but that's not being hardcore.

Yeah... and it's still stupid.  Because still people don't transcend location.

A japanese developer could make the most WRPG like game every and it'd still be called a JRPG and vice versa.
