But it's not a JRPG.

lock the thread before this becomes another debate led by people who haven't played the game, but think they know everything about the title.

Game is a JRPG and the people actually play it, will tell you that.

who cares if its jrpg or not? its awesome, and its made by a japanese studio, so technically its from japan. i dont see the point in dividing the rpg genre to "w" and "j" and "e" or whatever else letter u put in front of the "rpg". rpg is an rpg, its hilarious how some ppl try to knock a game because its not labeled the right way...

DS is a JRPG with a westernized feel. There is no other genre it could possibly fit into.

Wait DS is made in japan, by a japanese developer and its not a JRPG? But FFXII and FFXIII are? Because this argument is based on the fact DS isn't turn based, well nether is FFXII and FFXIII.

the additional letter is to help categorize the game. since there is a large variety of rpgs. it actually has to do with what sort of game it is rather than where its from. they are labelled "japanese" and "western" because its traditionally where those games were made. they do not have to be made there to be called that and games made there are not automatically that sort of game.

and no one was trying to "knock" the game. the game isnt a jrpg, which means the premise of this thread is incorrect.

A smidge, but not about Demon's Souls being a JRPG.

Not a single bit.
