Maybe, just not a fan on how JRPG's look and feel.
They'd be JRPGs still. The existence of both JRPG and WRPG, seems only a reality due to the arrival of most Western developed RPGs unto consoles. I think the distinction results from factions of people probably unintentionally assuming Western Rpgs are action-rpgs and that Japanese Rpgs are turn-based rpgs. At least that's a thought I arrive at when people suggest that Dark Souls isn't a JRPG; one has to wonder what the other Action-Rpgs in From Software's library, such as King's Field and Lost Kingdoms, would be seen to be. The concept of traditional JRPG, an idea based on the percentage of Japanese RPGs that have come to the West, also contributes to the possibly that an Action-RPG similar to Skyrim and Fallout 3 would be viewed as a western game made in the Japan.
Tbh I never like to use JRPG, WRPG. I've gamed for 24 years (I'm 29) and it never used to be like that so I'm not going to start, there all the RPGs to me.

Ha! You beat me by 7 hours.
This topic was the reason for my very first post if I recall correctly. Back then, people were calling WRPGs RPGs and JRPGs JRPGs, which made no sense. It doesn't matter how the RPG plays when it comes to the WRPG and JRPG since the classification is based on the region the game was made. Here's another example:
This is a turn-based WRPG, much like Dragon's Dogma is an Action based JRPG (or Action RPG before WRPGs actually became decent) .

When western developers started making popular western RPGs (around the time Oblivion, Mass Effect, and Fallout 3 released on consoles). Before then, most people classified JRPGs as turn-based, strategy, or action RPGs. WRPGs were usually classified as PC RPGs because that's really the only platform they were popular on.

RPGs like Skyrim or Fallout I would call Sandbox RPGs
Whether they are made by Western developers or Japanese.
No, JRPGS are what I have come to know as the only true RPG. Although, I always thought RPG stood for Rocket-propelled grenade. I don't think Japanese are interested in our type of RPG. Neither am I quite frankly.

Ultima came out a long, long time before Fallout/TES.
I've only really noticed the term 'jrpg' this generation. It's not like we didn't have enough ways to classify a genre in a medium which doesn't easily lend itself to genres in the first place..
For the "true Americans" anything that's not made in America or the west should be shunned and avoided and slapped with a made in ______ label.
