Getting upset never helps anything. If you feel like getting mad then take a deep breath and calm down.

OK, so you just differentiated ARPG and JRPG, so then would you say that KH should not be included in a JRPG list such as this one? also, give me a clear definition of JRPG. |
Be clear about what you're asking here. My personal opinion differs from the established norm as does yours. The difference is that I recognize that my opinion != established/accepted norms.
My opinion is that Kingdom Hearts is an ARPG (as is the accepted one).
The widely accepted definition of JRPG is any RPG that comes out of Japan and doesn't fall into a more specific category (A/S/T...etc). The more niche subgenres override the larger ones. For example, Disgaea is recognized as an sRPG and not a jRPG. Kingdom Hearts is an aRPG and not a jRPG.
My personal opinion is that RPGs should be classified by battle/character system. jRPG is synonymous with turn-based RPG to me. This is why it's so easy to distinguish jRPG, sRPG, and aRPG for me. They all have widely different battle systems. I haven't figured out a good test for wRPG yet though.
