Japanese WRPG

Nobody called it a western game

WRPG as a genre, Japanese as a country of origin

not him but Dark Souls doesn't play like your average JRPG and has a very strong western aesthetic. Isn't there also only english voiceacting?

It's more japanese than fuckin Final Fantasy.

Can i have (you)s too? Warcraft llll

It doesn't play like your average WRPG either

>Japanese WRPG
hmmmmm......

>not him but Dark Souls doesn't play like your average JRPG
It plays like, and was directly inspired by, the Legend of Zelda

>Doesn't play like a JRPG
>Doesn't play like a WRPG
>Call it Japanese WRPG to nod to both sides
>HURRR JAPANEZE WESTERN JRPG LOL *.JPG FROM "SARCASTIC" FOLDER*

It's a full-blown JRPG, not even WRPG and stops with this Japanese WRPG bullshit, it's not fucking exist.

Zelda is also a Japanese WRPG

>Call it Japanese WRPG to nod to both sides
Which doesn't make any fucking sense. It's a Japanese game inspired by another Japanese game series and a very popular manga series. It doesn't become a WRPG because it doesn't have wide-eyed anime girls shouting NANI?! and KYAAAA

>Isn't there also only english voiceacting?
Yeah, just like in Devil May Cry or Resident Evil, so?
>not him but Dark Souls doesn't play like your average JRPG
It definitely doesn't play like a western one. The level design was based on Castlevania and the combat mechanics on Zelda.

Nobody's saying that, it's just the fact that it's heavily inspired by Western history and the fact that there is literally no JP voice acting even in the Japanese version tells you that it was marketed towards a Western audience.

>it's not like either of these genres, so I'll call it both
Tetris is my favourite FPS Metroidvania

>Zelda
>RPG

...B-Brah

That's because the Japanese, especially Berserk fans, have a huge boner for western aesthetics in fantasy.

>Names 2 more series's that are huge in the Western world
It's almost like they're geared towards western consumers. Really activates my almonds.

just out of interest would you call Dragon's Dogma also a JRPG?

So I guess since the Witcher is huge in Japan it makes it a jrpg?

It's Japanese, so yes. It's just also heavily inspired by Berserk like Dark Souls is.

JRPG and WRPG aren't genres with distinct gameplay styles. You were just plain stupid if this was your actual line of reasoning.

No, but if it used a lot of Japanese history with Samurai armour and shit and had no English dub and was Japanese voices only, I'd call it a Western made JRPG

First of all, I would call and rpg made in Japan a jrpg. Second of all, none of those games play even remotely like a wrpg. I mean give me any wrpg with similar mechanics to Souls and similar to Dragon's Dogma that came before them.

Japs and asians in general LOVE listening to English and other European languages, and insert as much Engrish into their media as frequently as possible.

So Sekiro is a JRPG and Bloodborne is a WRPG? Despite having nearly identical gameplay?

>Japanese WRPG
Kill yourself, you nigger underage b&

>WRPG as a genre
Wrong, RPG is a genre West and Jap are the regions of origins.

Dragon's Dogma 2 will soon be upon us. Are you ready for more Berserking?

That literally means you'd be calling it a "Western Japanese role playing game".

Skyrim

>The aim for the developers was, rather than using Japanese role-playing traditions, to emulate Western RPGs including Fallout 3, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Fable II. Itsuno's original version of the game was substantially larger than the final game, including the whole of Gransys, a dungeon related to the game's lore, and the game world's moon.[9][10] While utilising RPG elements, Dragon's Dogma was primarily focused on action gameplay as Capcom's staff were experienced with action games.[26] Itsune described the game as their attempt to create a defining RPG experience similar to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.[30] The control layout was carried over from Capcom's other action titles such as Devil May Cry. Many of the action elements were carried over and how characters fought with enemies was also drawn from that series.[31] The game's open world was the largest world ever created for a Capcom title.[12]

Dragon's Dogma is a WRPG.

Simple as.

>like a series
>start seeing references where they doesnt exist

Why Jojofags and Berserkfags always do this shit?

If you deny that the Souls games aren't a huge Berserk wankfest you're either baiting, ignorant or blind

Are you retarded? Souls is blatantly heavily inspired by Berserk. They don't try to hide it.

Yeah. Do you need me to spell it out for you? Nobody seems to have a problem understanding that Western made Netflix original anime is "Western anime". This hypothetical Japanese Witcher game would be the same, it's a JRPG made in the West.

You know that the "W/J" in front of RPG is not about the gameplay or aesthetic but their country of origin, right?

Anime is a distinct art style, whereas "JRPG" and "WRPG" are not distinct genres in terms of gameplay; all these acronyms tell you is that they are RPGs from said regions.

Besides the fact that you swing swords the combat isn't similar at all. There are no dodging mechanics, and each attack is exactly one button. The skill points of your character are more important than you managing the positioning of your character and pacing yourself.

Not to mention Dark Souls came the exact same year as Skyrim. But Demon's Souls is older than both, and even Demon's Souls was mechanically similar to King's Field, which are earlier FromSoft games. Dragon's Dogma is combat-wise similar to previous action games by Capcom and taking in some additional inspiration from japanese games like Shadow of the Colossus. Western games did sort of inspire it though, but more in the open-world design.

Only on Yea Forums will you have retards discussing semantics

Uh, we just called it "anime", friend.

It's the other way around, actually.

uh no this happens all over the internet

>it's another genre semantics episode

Castlevania isn't an anime, it's just an american animated series. I mean there are anime that don't have the typical anime style, are those not anime, then?

The Souls games were much more heavily influenced by Fighting Fantasy.

>game has a monster design that exist in another series
>HURR DURR ITS A REFERENCE XDDD

No, most of the times it's just the developers being unable to come up with new things.
Stop saying everything is a fucking reference, that's just a excuse for developers to be even more lazy instead of coming up with new shit.

Nope, herd it for the first time from you who claim it.

>Western made Netflix original anime is "Western anime".
no it's not
it's a cartoon

One can emulate a style as much as they want but they can never be Western or Japanese

>Japanese WRPG
Here's your (you)

I've read the entirety of the Berserk manga and can name maybe 8 things in the Souls series that are similar to it. Not much.

>I've read the entirety of the Berserk manga
In comic books you also have to look at the pictures, not just read the text.

That just means you don't know shit about Dark Souls

No, I'm just not a retard who reads every fantasy trope as a reference to Berserk.

Honestly, Slave Knight Gael is more of a reference to beserk than Artorias was.

>Japanese WRPG

huh?
It's either a JRPG or a WRPG

anime-only friend?

Didnt know dark souls was filled with faggots and feminists

It's not technically an RPG though. It's Action-Adventure.
