They'd be JRPGs still. The existence of both JRPG and WRPG, seems only a reality due to the arrival of most Western developed RPGs unto consoles. I think the distinction results from factions of people probably unintentionally assuming Western Rpgs are action-rpgs and that Japanese Rpgs are turn-based rpgs. At least that's a thought I arrive at when people suggest that Dark Souls isn't a JRPG; one has to wonder what the other Action-Rpgs in From Software's library, such as King's Field and Lost Kingdoms, would be seen to be. The concept of traditional JRPG, an idea based on the percentage of Japanese RPGs that have come to the West, also contributes to the possibly that an Action-RPG similar to Skyrim and Fallout 3 would be viewed as a western game made in the Japan.
