JRPG's are always giving me wat i want out of a role playing game. a Good story, it has a certain degree of challenge, over 30 hours of gameplay. They also alwyas have a leveling up system that actually matters btw(not like in fallout and Oblivion that claim to be RPG's).
WRPG's however are alot more difficult for me to get into. Most of them are in an open world environment which is fine and all most FF games have the same thing. But with WRPG's it feels like im playing an MMO and the game itself is made up of a buch of useless side questing and therefore takes focus out of the main story(Oblivion is a perfect example of this). another problem is that most of them are featured in some generic medieval setting that really dosent appeal to me.
Bottom line here is that i can always trust a JRPG to give me wat i want but with a WRPG i have to approach it with caution and see whether or not the game has the qualities im looking for
