I'm saddened to see that most would do without Kingdom Hearts. Personally, I don't find Persona or Fire Emblem to be in even the same category, since Kingdom Hearts is an more ARPG than it is JRPG

 

uhh no

 

A jRPG means Japanese RPG. All three of these franchises are jRPG.

 

But they are different genres though.

 

Kingdom Hearts = Action RPG
Persona = Turn Based/Traditional RPG
Fire Emblem = Strategy RPG

Splitting hairs, since most of us immediately change gears to menu-based comnbat when we think JRPG, largely due to their heavy use of menus throughout the medium. 

 

You still got my point, though, so feel free to continue correcting people on things that don't really necessitate correcting.

 

He has a point and it's not splitting hairs. For example, Dragon's dogma is a JRPG even though it shares many similarities with WRPGs. JRPG does not mean turn based rpgs or "menu-based" rpgs.

Eh. He got the point I was making and decided he was going to be anal about specifics. And I never said that's what JRPG meant, I said that's what we immediately think of since it is the traditional JRPG format.

I swear, some people on this forum just want to win every argument, even if the opposing party isn't participating.
