Quote by Kat:
Lol the thing is that reviewers for mainstream sites really skewer RPGs, especially jrpgs. I'm coming from a different viewpoint because I don't think a game isn't worth playing if it's turn based. For instance, I love tales of graces and it's got a metascore of 66. But my review would be sooo much above that.
So you can't compare my reviews to other sites, just my other reviews.
<3 Tales of Graces.

Dragons Dogma isn't a Jrpg. Action rpg.

It's an action role playing game. Not unlike Kingdom of Amalur or Fable.
I guess if your criteria of a JRPG is just "Developed in Japan" almost all RPG's are JRPGs. I consider JRPG's to be a specific type.

Absolutely not, It's a Western/Action-RPG made by the Japanese. Similar to KoA.

would you argue dark souls in not a jrpg as well then?
and it was nothing like KoA except for having an open world.

Western Style Action RPG made in Japan, if you want to get technical Dark Souls and Dragons Dogma are about as JRPG as Final Fantasy, Tales, or Agarest as they were developed in Japan but in 99.9% of cases no one is referring to that.
They are referring to the style of gameplay JRPGs usually use like Turn based gameplay for example. JRPGs would include games like; Final Fantasy, Tales, Persona, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest, Star Ocean and whatnot, none of those games are like Dark Souls or Dragons Dogma

tales is not a jrpg by your very own definition.

Tales is too. Combat is chosen from a menu, not just "hit a and swing sword."

That's not what he said. He said turned based which tales is not, and by his definition would exclude it from the list.
and by your definition dragon age and kotor are both jprgs, which they are clearly not.

This
And Turn Based combat is just one example for a JRPG, They are typically Anime style or have brighter colors, have plenty of Cutscenes compaired to wrpgs, fixed characters etc.
I know you're not going to sit there and tell me Dark Souls is a JRPG like Final Fantasy IX.
The point is neither Dark Souls or Dragons Dogma is a JRPG like any of the ones I've named

You are picking specific things to define a genre, when clearly DD and Dark Souls fit the bill.
Otherwise your telling me Kingdom Hearts is not in fact a JRPG, but games like dragon age are.
which is ridiculous.
