is it a jrpg or wrpj

[braix]

I don't know what a "wrpj" is but I'm sure you can just Google it and find the answer out for yourself.

@msf @dudeman
I did look up "wrpj" before posting that, but all that came up was something like a radio station and I'm sure that's not what Brainy meant by wrpj. No quick judgerino please, I looked around and couldn't find anything.

[mastersuperfan]

All I come up with is the common definition of WRPG when I search it. Did you just search "wrpg" or did you try something more?

[Zeila]

Brainy did not actually say wrpg, but wrpj. I'm sure that's what he meant though

ew this game looks bad and I refuse to try it

NocturneOfShadow, ladies and gentlemen.


The game interests me, but I've fallen out of playing MMO's for quite a while. Since they really have no end, they tend to suck away all my free time because I want to spend it getting farther. I'd rather not fall back into that.

[BrainyLucario]

It means "western role playing game" And yes i might have mistyped that first response

and for all you uneducated folk, jrpg means "Japanese role playing game"
Undertale, I think the Mario and Luigi series, and Pokemon (not certain) are all jrpg's

since brainy's response is most likely inadequate:

No no and no.

JRPG's are almost always defined by their heavy story, complex stat management, grinding, in-depth battle mechanics, high damage outputs at high rates of return, grinding, skill or class trees, hour-long boss fights, switchable party members, grinding, heavy item usage, and grinding. May have missed a few points.
