Do you expect the Wii to end up being THE JRPG console this gen?

What are the different types of RPGs and what's the difference between them? Like, how does a jRPG and a non-Japanese RPG differ?

Jrpgs are more linear, more focused on the story, and aren't usually as free roaming as a western rpg or wrpg.

 

Typically they also have a set path for character development so characters in JRPGs tend to end up how the devloper envisons them. Where as in WRPGs the character development path is typically left almost entirly to the user.

 

Another acronym for you CRPG originally used for Computer RPG now more used as Console RPG. The industry loves acronyms.
