In RPG's you have to like to do the same moves over and over to level up it can get really boring. Imagine having to press the jump button thousands of times to max up your acrobats skill level that would drive you insane.

I think you are thinking of oblivion or morrowind. In most Jrpgs that are turnbased or even realtime all of your stats grow at once rather than training something in particular.All you need to do is fight enemies. So I don't see your point.

It didn't bother me much in Oblivion!

Yep very different. They don't even seem like the same genres.

He's right though. JRPGs stories and characters are much worse than WRPGs. The average JRPG still clings into the overly dramatic, excessively pounded morals and the 'save the world' cliché, with no sublety or nuance.

Summary of WRPG vs JRPG (IMO of course):

Which is more of an RPG : WRPG>>>>>>>>>>>JRPG
Story: JRPG's are usually better than WRPG's.
Characters: The stronger characters are usually in JRPG's
Battle systems: based on preference. I prefer turn based JRPG systems.

 Silent bomber was one of my first games for ps1. It seemed like no one else had heard about it. That game rocks!!!

It's awfully good too. I'm about to finish it.

 good job picking out such a gem of a game. No other game plays like it does!
