Japanese RPG's VS Eastern RPG's

The distinguished Waffle King spake:

You're all idiots. Zelda is an action-adventure game. If you want to broaden the definition of RPG that much, aren't all games RPG's then? You play the role of Mario, don't you?

An RPG usually consists of turn-based battles, exp points, and an emphasis on strategy.

However, the WESTERN (Eastern IS Japan, herr derp.) gaming culture is very "unrefined" I guess you can say. We here in 'Murica like our games just like we like everything else. Big guns, asplosions, big guns, and zombies. Therefore, when we 'Muricans have to play games like Final Fantasy, which require patience, strategy, and above all, READING, we can't stand it. We don't want to wait our turn, we want to just run in there and plow everything down. THAT is why the traditional JRPG is suffering. Americans prefer the much easier Action RPG.

I prefer a good JRPG than a generic western action RPG. The Western Gaming culture is very generic. Just big guns, zombies, and asplosions. That's what we like.

I had already said it was an action/adventure. I also enjoy a good turn based game. However I played a final fantasy where it wasn't turn based. Played it for like 4 minutes.

Pokemon is open world and still turn based. It makes you follow one storyline that doesn't change however.

I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives.

I disagree. It's simple. I like that in a game. :)

I played 2 final fantasy's that aren't turn based and they are probably the best games on psp. Um well I will go with japenese rpgs because Skyrim is really the only western rpg people play and its not all that. But Dark Souls however is one of the greatest games ever created and I think its also japenese so yeah.
