If you can't explore the World, if your only equipment options are a weapon and "accessories" (IE: Lazy devs don't want to make new armor in a game), if you are forced through over 90% of the game to have certain party members, and if your story is nonsense you are a shit jrpg. Any game that has 3 of the 4 of the above qualify.

Well almost every JRPG won't let you explore the world besides a couple of exceptions, probably shouldn't be playing JRPGs for that. Exploring the world is more of a WRPG thing  

Those last 2 things are very very very common in JRPGs, RPGs in general. Games in general XD

You can do these things in great jrpgs, like Suikoden, Xenogears and Blade, and early FF titles. And the certain party members refer to the entire party being forced on the player. Not 1 or 2 forced party members. I guess I should have clarified, but a lot of jrpgs that I know of don't force your entire party on you for most of the game.
