Topic	Turn based JRPGs that aren't just "use your best attack"?
ssjevot 05/13/21 9:55:04 PM #76:	Conflict posted... Western companies can make JRPGs too. Some people will try and argue Crosscode isn't a JRPG when it clearly is lol The descriptors refer to gameplay style and structure, not just "RPG developed by Japanese or Western company". Same reason Dark Souls is a WRPG despite being developed by a Japanese company. Yeah see people say that but it doesn't make any sense. Dark Souls is an evolution of Japanese action RPGs that have been made since the 80s, and more specifically From's King's Field and then Shadow Tower series. Also the first Japanese RPGs were inspired by Western CRPGs and tabletop RPGs like D&D, Ultima, Wizardry, Might & Magic, etc. The style argument makes no sense. Especially since the earliest Japanese RPGs in the 80s were primarily action RPGs with Falcom leading the way, and the earliest Western RPGs were primarily turn-based. Further the whole Dark Souls is a WRPG crowd instantly start calling things like Code Vein a JRPG, showing it's just a label based on their stereotype of how games look. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss <cite>ssjevot posted [p:953881551] in Turn based...
