Kim_Seong-a 10/27/21 11:46:51 PM #23:	I feel like early JRPGs were more concerned with adapting the combat/class systems of TTRPGS into something simple and streamlined, that could work within the limitations of the hardware at the time while still being fun to play. WRPGs tended to be pretty ambitious in adapting as many TTRPG mechanics as possible. What this usually results in is JRPGs being a rollercoaster. You can build your characters, mess with skill trees, etc, but you're mostly just enjoying the ride that was laid out for you. WRPGs are like a haunted house, where you're largely free to wander and explore the game at your own pace, but will still hit the major set-pieces by the end. --- https://imgur.com/a/fqY7axi <cite>Kim_Seong-a posted [p:959459181] in Explain to...

Intro2Logic 10/28/21 10:37:50 AM #25:	For me, one of the biggest distinctions is that WRPGs tend to give you more say in shaping both your character and the story, while JRPGs tend to have set characters and plots that you're just following along with. The other lines between the two (turn-based vs real time, open exploration vs linear) have become more blurred over time. --- Have you tried thinking rationally? <cite>Intro2Logic posted [p:959468904] in Explain to...
