    JRPGs

    in Computer and Console

    Posted · Edited by Alvin Nelson

    Great list of JRPGs. I'm personally a fan of both, so it's always interesting seeing threads and talking to my fellow developers about the pros and cons of the different types of games.

     

    I would say the number one thing that differentiates a JRPG to w WRPG is the story and the main character. In JRPGs you are less likely to be able to create your own character of your choosing. Rather, you can do some small things in the game that change the ending, but for the most part the game has a story to tell.

     

    With a WRPG, however, from the very beginning you are able to choose how your character is going to look, play, and act like.

     

    I think both have their good and bad parts, but everyone has their opinions about what a TRUE RPG is, and it's that opinion that allows both sub-genres to thrive. :)

     

    Personal favorites:

    • Suikoden II
    • Persona 3
    • Chrono Trigger
    • FF VI, IX, XII
    • Xenogears
    • Fire Emblem (the one for the Wii)
    • Final Fantasy Tactics
    • EDIT: forgot the Dark Cloud Series!

    Continue on. :)
