| ArtznCraphs said: Newsflash! WRPGs ARE the traditional RPGs. It doesn't get more traditional than Ultima, Wizardy, Baldur's Gate, Might and Magic, etc. Ultima and Wizardry were doing turn based combat before any JRPG. Dragon Warrior was directly influenced by such games. Kasz216, how can WRPGs usually be like Oblivion when there is a whole history of games before that? I would say they are usually not like Oblivion or Morrowind. Plus WRPGs usually adhere closer to pen and paper RPGs which were around before the video games. |
Because before they were called JRPS and WRGS they were called RPGS and ARPGS.
This new JRPG and WRPG bs just started up when games like Morrowind became popular and generally are used to replace the old RPG and ARPG tags.
Also the best Ultima game in my book is really more of an SRPG. Ultima Exodus.
