What matters is that's a FPS, if you wish to say were it comes from slap that W there. W and J doesn't change genres, they tell you were it comes from. |
WRPG and JRPG are defined as subgenres of RPG. The W and J tells you where the style is from not the game. It's pretty naive to suggest that its simply a matter of location. I mean consider the issue of localization. Why would JRPG's, mostly localised to Japan be marketted as Japanese RPG's?
WRPG's generally have the player create the persona of the character they are playing as. Like Skyrim or Fall out. Even Witcher and Mass Effect are more WRPG styled rpgs. This originates from tabletop rpg games like D&D, which is a uniquely* western style.
JRPGs typically have you roleplay as a character who has a predefined story that lacks less player decision. Like Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy. Even Pokemon is pretty JRPG ish.
