| Xen said: Now that I think of the differences, you could call Disgaea a JRPG in a way... The main difference between the two as I see it, is extremely different combat systems and lack of free roaming in SRPG's (which Disgaea has). |
You can freely roam battle fields in Valkyria. It is very hard to define a genre by the ability to free roam because you then have to set how much free roaming there is. Personally, I see JRPG as the main genre of RPG's that come from Japan and usually have a more linear flow to their storyline, and SRPG's are a sub genre of either J or WRPG depending on the style. It's a certain battle system, but to me that doesn't discount it as a JRPG, just as Action RPG's are still JRPG's.
