One is made by Japanese people. The other isn't. That's literally the only difference.

I think that was the original definition but now there seem to be quite a few old-school FF type games as indie games on PC made by westerners.

So usually story-driven, turn-based (or active time turn based) combat.

Final Fantasy are the epitome of JRPGs but there are many many others.

Western RPGs are usually either Baldur's Gate style ones, or free-roam Skyrim type ones.

Back in the 90's I always used the style of gameplay to decide, but there are just so many games that don't fit. Japan for instance never gave up on the originally very western turn-based dungeon crawlers like Wizardry. They also latched onto (or at least From Software did) the Ultima Underworld style of game, with the King's Field series and later the Souls series. And now they're venturing into the open world sandbox type with games like Dragon's Dogma. And the amount of western made RPGs that play like old FF games is staggering, especially indie ones. So I just stick to the who made it definition of JRPG vs RPG.

I don't play JRPGs, nore do I have any interest in playing them.

What's the difference between a JRPG and a RPG.

I have no idea honestly.

One is made by Japanese people. The other isn't. That's literally the only difference. It's like how you can't draw actual manga if you're not Japanese.

FFXIII-2 is massively underrated and such a gem of a game.

The -2's are both massively underrated.

She's still better than every other main protagonist since the series went 3D.

>ignores Cloud, Leon, Zidane and Tidus

Leon who? And I'm not ignoring the other three, just saying they suck balls compared to Lightning. Well, Zidane not so much.

Why is that game getting so much attention...

Because it's surprisingly good.

Probably won't.

Ripperino depresserino

Not really, you aren't passing sadness to other people if you don't matter to anyone.

Tricky thing with that is that depression often makes you think others don't care about you when some actually do.
