Dragon's Dogma, no other JRPG comes close.

Dragons dogma hardly qualifies as a JRPG. It a competely different kind of RPG more akin to open world dungeon crawler with loads of micro management and light on story.

I dont think the average jrpg fan that expects a story heavy and character heavy game would be pleased with DD.

 

It is a JRPG but its a different. Just because its not like the others with big eyed anime characters and spikey hair does not mean its not. Its not light on story but rather non linear and more open. Its an evolution thats been wanted for years and its the best I have seen this generation.

Dragon's Dogma isn't a JRPG...

At least not the definition that JRPG holds in the gaming community.

It is in a literal way a role-playing game from Japan but not part of the 'JRPG' genre.

And besides its more action/hack and slash gameplay takes it away from a JRPG.

It's not because it features some RPG elements that the game is automatically in the RPG genre.
