Fable 2 was made by a European company...

American RPG and Europe RPG just sound stupid. It's best to categorize them as Western since many are similar while Japanese usually have a different style to them.

so when china comes out with an rpg one of these days will it be called a eastern rpg, i think not!!!!

 

 

If it is similar to WRPGS, it ill be called a WRPG

 

If it is similar to JRPGs, it ill be called a JRPG

 

If it is something new entirely, it will be considered a game that is of no one particular genre

 

If that last one happens, and then many Chinese devs start making similar games, then we need a new label

But the first "JRPG" I ever played was Ultima.  Those games which were "Japanese styled" first existed on western consoles.
