JRPGS are not roleplaying games. They are lumped into the category due to a weak definition of Roleplaying. JRPGS are Combat simulation story telling.
Why people like it. Because some of the stories are pretty darn good. Why do some people like books, movies or TV. It provides a simple form of entertainment. I would certainly classify a JRPG closer to a movie than an RPG though. I like some JRPG stories myself. WEWY is fantastic.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
