By the same token, Zelda could be considered a JRPG (and a great one at that). If you want to compare the best WRPGs and JRPGs of this console gen then there are plenty of other games that could be put forward ahead of Fable 2 and are fairly true to the WRPG genre (e.g. Witcher 2, Skyrim, Dragon Age Origins). |
Deus Ex: HR!
But I find this whole thread really screwy. People are cherry picking JRPG's and comparing them to negatively cherry picked WRPG's to make a point and Vice Versa.
There are mechanically screwy JRPG's and WRPG's and there are mechanically sound JRPG's and WRPG's. There's some JRPG's and WRPG's with good characters dialogue and story, and some with poor. And everything in between. They are designed from different perspectives Japananese vs Western and have tendencies, but each side overlaps with eachother at times. Atleast imo.
