Why? Because wRPGs are much more likely to allot more than 6-7 characters spaces to a name. I can't even make a dwarf named Axebeard in most jRPGs.

Stupid Japanese and their space efficient syllabary/ideogram writing system.

Tactics Ogre is a JRPG just with a whole lot more strategy like FF Tactics, and SMNT: Devil Survivor.

Chrono Trigger is like the worst game of all.

Literally had to shorten the main character's name Feraligatr style.

Chrono Trigger was one of the BEST games of all time and what would you name the main character that takes up more than the given space?

the best of the best are wrpgs.

However there are way more great and above average jrpgs.

Also the wrpg genre has been getting stale for a while now. Skyrim aside, the genre has been pretty meh this gen.

Everytime you boot up Tactics Ogre, it not only revitalizes the genre each time, but the whole industry as well. Twice. And its power increases with every NIS release.

Actually I'm just upset that I finally found a jRPG that has a dwarf race, and I couldn't make one named Axebeard.

...Not that the dwarves in Class of Heroes were real dwarves. Neither gender had beards.

Neverwinter Nights is the best game of all time, because you have separate entry spaces for first name and surname.

So not only can you have a dwarf named Axebeard, you can have a dwarf named Axebeard Hammermoustache and people will actually come up to you and say "Good to see you, Mr. Hammermoustache!"

This is light shooting fish in a barrel. Excellent JRPGs are less plentiful lately, where as this gen WRPGs are on rampage.

not sure i agree. Well i agree that jrpgs are less plentiful, but wrpgs were much better in previous generations. The only ones this gen that id put on the level of a planescape, morrowind, daggerfall, baldur's gates, fallouts are fallout 3 and skyrim.

Fallout 3 doesn't come close to that level. New Vegas was a bit better about it, but still not.

Psh, mustaches are too wimpy for dwarves. The extra space needs to reference either rock or thunder in some way.

Eh, halflings and erdgeists are pretty different than dwarves. They were squishies more suited for back row thief/caster, while dwarves are front line tanks like devout or paladin.

Who the hell renames their characters in RPGs that aren't like Pokemon, anyway?

Hell I think I've only ever named Link something different one time.

Meh. My halfling thief does fine on the front lines.
