JRPG is a genre not a region.......

It's about Japanese influence and not about the country from a geological point of view.

RPG is a genre. WRPG and JRPG are silly internet terms that fanboys have come up with and now everyone uses them.

I disagree. JRPGs share a specific set of traits, and so do WRPGs. Some people have preference to games with said traits. Thus, it is a valuable classification tool when describing certain subgenres. Absolutely.

Yes, but those genres are not absolute, as a JRPG can do certain things that WRPGs are known for (like having a character creator) and still be JRPG.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
