Not an RPG nor an example of a majority of JRPGs.

Neither are the examples you've listed as JRPGs.

Yes it is rpg, just a beat em up battle system instead of the usual turn based, real time, or mix.

It also happens to hold the crown for me this gen along with ME and the souls games. I like my games on quality not region or style.

Now playing:Resident Evil 1&5, Bayonetta, MGS2HD Missions, Uncharted.

I'd also classify Yakuza as an RPG, but I still find it funny when Amon mentions it as one after the arguments we've had regarding Dead Island and other games being RPGs or not.

JRPG and WRPG are categorized by how they play, not by their country of origin. Demon's Souls for example is a WRPG made by Japanese developers. These two videos pretty much help sum up why the "Western" games are getting much more popular and the JRPG starting becoming more of a niche product:

So.....for those arguing JRPG vs. WRPG: what do you say of Etrian Odyssey IV, SMT: Strange Journey, or Soul Hackers?

Meh, I don't care J or W if it's a good RPG I play it.

It's funny how both he and you are wrong for soooooo many reasons. And because CH is making "niche" games doesn't mean all JRPGs are.

You could have used a better example for a JRPG then a game that's 4 years old.
