If JRPG is classified by turn-based combat and WRPG is classified by whatever we are classifying it with that makes me wonder something.

Where does Kingdom Hearts and/or Tales of Vesperia fall?

 

How about my up and coming 3D Dot Game Heroes? We going to call that a WRPG too?

As of yet I would define 3D Dot Game Heroes as an action/adventure game akin to Zelda.  I haven't seen any means of leveling the character.

I figured I would get that response. You do level up the sword though.

 

Still however, where does that put the Tales games? They aren't exactly turn based, so are they *gasp*, WRPGs? O_o

Or do they become ARPG ("Action Role Playing Game")?

 

I've seen that one thrown around a bit too.

Well that's more a problem for those who are basing jRPG and wRPG off of battle system, which to me dilineates into turn-based, action, and strategy.  jRPG and wRPG are a difference in whether the game focusses on player choices or a linear storyline.
