So this whole thread is one poor person's failed attempt to prove that one sub-genre is superior to another?

Good grief.

You must be a very afraid person. Try discuss for a change not accuse people of being poor.

It is my opinion, as probably part of the target market for both JRPG and WRPG producers (I buy and enjoy both) that what also matters is how well the game presents it's attempts at trying to promote thought. One of my problems with JRPGs is that they often try to sound smarter than they really are, and present what interesting ideas they have very badly. On the other hand, games like mass effect have impressed me in that they present them well. Not compared to, say, a book, but better than, say, a hollywood movie...

I haven't played Xenosaga however, so I won't comment on that game. Just giving my 2 cents: From what I've played of JRPGs, and i've played a fair amount (not a super veteran but.... quite a few) they have a delivery problem.
