Skeeuk said: its an rpg from japan. hence a jrpg literally, but gameplay is more akin to srpg. |
So, if Oblivion were made in Japan by a Japanese team, turning out as the same game as it is now, would it be a JRPG? No. It'd still have nothing to do with the genre.
@Tor: That motive is the only reason people label it as one. It lacks general JRPG traits, having only the artstyle that fits the genre.
