Topic	So, Should We Stop Saying JRPG? (The Jimquisition)
BlackScythe0 03/12/23 12:13:24 AM #25:	I think the term jrpg persists due to just giving credit to the history of the genre. Most people know it doesn't mean a game from Japan and rather a turn based typically linear story based game. WRPG never really was a good term though since even when I first heard it people were applying it to games like Baldurs Gate and Morrowind at the same time and those are not similar games. SKARDAVNELNATE posted... If an action game uses RPG mechanics is it now and RPG and not an action game? If an FPS uses RPG mechanics is it now and RPG and not an FPS? Sigh I get so tired of people taking the low effort trolling with this line. It's so old and so fucking boring. <cite>BlackScythe0 posted [p:972115044] in So, Should...
