I really don't care if it feels more like a WRPG :P

King's Field also felt more of a WRPG kind of game, yet it was a JRPG as well ;) From Software have a history of not sticking forcibly to one of the labels commonly made for RPG's. But if we consider JRPG's, RPG's made in Japan, then Demon's Souls is a JRPG ;)

if thats the case then i'd pick Demon's Souls.

but im sticking to the JRPG rules because i never considered games like Wizardry to be JRPGs

I can't believe I'm saying that (considering JRPG is my favorite genre) but all of the ones I've played were so-so.

And I don't know which one was the best out of them.

The thread title is counter productive to the OP

@PullusPardus

I know what type of definition the OP and most people want, but I don't like to consider those only boundaries.

As for Demon's Souls being more WRPG for it being more action oriented, yeah that's true, but that's the same as saying that Parasite Eve 2 is more of a Survival Horror game than a JRPG, that Terranigma is more of a zelda game and so on. Games don't have to fix into a single, fixed specification.

I don't have a favorite "JRPG" yet. I'm waiting to see if XIII or Versus XIII (which is more likely to end up as my favorite for the gen) can pull it off.

are you JRPG junkie or you a Mainstream RPG guy( Japanese or western ) dont take this question offensively
