jRPG = Made in Japan, made by a Japanese developer, anime like appearances/cartoonish - focuses on the Fantasy theme more than Medieval themes/etc themes.
Examples -Final Fantasy -Star Ocean -Dragon Quest -Pokemon -Breath of Fire -Persona -Kingdom Hearts
wRPG = Made in the West (i.e. NA/Europe), made by mostly English Speaking developers/Other (not sure how to put them as) developers, "Realistic" appearances/Dark themed, more focused on Medieval themes and sometimes futuristic.
Examples -Elder Scrolls -Fallout -Mass Effect -Might and Magic -Dungeons and Dragons -The Witcher -Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic

I still don't get why people write JRPG/WRPG as jRPG/wRPG. The J/W part is the part that should be capitalized.
