Wow, first time I've seen someone call Diablo an RPG...

and stfu stage, it's not called an JRPG only because of Turn-Based combat

And looooool Bethesda WRPGs full of soul and life, does that include Oblivion (only bethesda game I've played)? xDDD
That's just horrible, the game has no people at all who you ever feel attached to. There only like 10 people in the whole world pasted 1000 times. The game has one of the worst stories I've ever seen, it's at the same level as your average FPS story. The game is only long if you want to do those horrible side quests that repeat themselves over and over. The only interisting things in the game are those guilds, but after you get the top rank it doesn't really matter at all.

Let's compare it to a JRPG let's say... Persona 3 FES, is that alright? The game has great characters, and many of them. There are small stories going on between minor character (like the boy and his stalker). It's the major characters that are the most awesome though, I mean all those characters and I felt attached to almost all of them. The game has an awesome story, and solid villains. The game is also longer than most WRPGs, and has more replay value. And even with all those it manages to have choice and a mute main character, which all of WRPG fans seem to adore. The game is turn-based, but it still manages the be faster and more interesting than Oblivion and Mass Effect's combat.

And yes I DID play Mass Effect, though only for a couple of hours.

STFU Stage?..Why? Because I am telling you the truth, thus taking you out of your comfort zone? You can like JRPG's all you want, but the fact still remains that JRPG's do not represent RPG's in the traditional sense, which is by definition. First of all, did I say that Oblivion was the game ful of "soul and life?"No! I stated that their new games such as Fallout 3 are bringing more people towards WRPG's, filling the void WRPG's used to have. Oblivion doesn't have one of the worst stories, because you affect the story. Have you ever played the game at all? I am also calling bullshit on the amount of time Persona 3 lasts compared to most WRPG's. WRPG's just by their existence have so many ins and outs, victories and failures to rise and fall from with characters and classes to customize that you could play one WRPG for a whole year. I've heard from people who have been playing Mass Effect 4-8 times just to complete all of the achievements, plus the extra mission DLC. Fallout 3 has a very good story and the DLC only makes it better. If you're speaking of Fable II, that game is not meant to last long.

A couple hours isn't enough time to get an accurate depiction of Mass Effect. Montana Hatchet used to argue with me about Mass Effect's not being that great when he first started playing the game; sooner or later he came around stating that the game was "amazing" once he beat it. The game is pretty good in the beginning, but takes off once you get past the Feros & Noveria missions. If you actually finished it, you could speak.
