All games are shit let's all move to gardenweb and debate about whether Asian conifers or Western conifers are better.

Well, the title is right. They're both shit this generation, at least to me.

I've tried ESIV and FO3. (Yeah yeah, I need to try ME and FII.)

At least JRPGs has VC.

So my vote if that JRPGs are less shitty this gen, though both could be a lot better.

Games this generation, general trends:

WRPGs = Nothing but MMOs.

JRPGs = Nothing but *single player* MMOs.

I hate these discussions.

SMT Nocturne and Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines are two of my favorite RPGs.

It's silly to say one is exclusively better than the other. Each has merits and flaws, there's nothing to stop someone from enjoying both.

If I was to try to decide between my favorite JRPGs and my favorite WRPGs I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite really. If I was to compare the current scenes in both however I would favor WRPGs, but I'll admit that I'm mostly thinking of the console/computer scene, and WRPGs are very much quality over quantity.

I feel the same. Baldur's Gate 2 is tied with Persona 3 as my favorite RPGs.

Yeah, what the fuck is that?  Someone needs to make search engines that use image data instead of text.

Obviously that fuck Parn showed earlier, probably from Final Fantasy versus XIII.

JRPGs and WRPGs should make love.

Yea.

But I'm still buying the game (my most hyped game ever) despite of that... guy/girl.

What scares me is I can't tell who's being sarcastic in this thread and who's not :(

I was serious. Maybe.

What I don't like:
-realistic graphics
-lack of colours
-sand box gameplay
-bald space mariners

One of those is not enough to make me want to play another game, but a combination of those factors will usually make me lose interest. That's why I enjoyed Legend of Mana and Romancing Saga, but not Oblivion.

Not that I like all of the things asociated with Japanese RPGs. At the moment I have zero interest in playing future Final Fantasies.
