WRPG
1. I like the more open world approach. You can go wherever you want at the beginning of the game.
2. I like have choices that influence the story(mass effect style)
3. I prefer the overall feel of freedom that wrpg have.
4. I hate the turn based combat of jrpg's. Wrpg have more of an immediate control action approach

Italic: Personally I think that can detract from the story of a game, however I also think #1 and #3 coincide with each other.  Sometimes I do like having the huge open world where I can go anywhere any time (which kind of is why I play MMORPG's sometimes).
Bold: Shin Megami Tensei
Underlined: I wouldn't make that generalization about JRPGs.  Plenty of them are turn-based, but there are a fair share of JRPGs that don't.
