It still blows my mind whenever someone goes NU-UH when I add Dark/Demon's Souls to the list of JRPGs, and insist on calling it a WRPG made by Japanese developers or what have you. It makes it look like the Japanese are incapable of making anything other than moeblobs in turn-based combat fighting to terrible J-Pop tracks and if they do anything else it was all thanks to us!

No. Nonononono. Demon's/Dark Souls is something completely different; something no Western developer has done before either. From Software also didn't think it would even succeed in the West and they were downright astonished that it did even better there than in Japan. Just because it isn't sparkle-nguu or turn-based doesn't mean it's not Japanese. People in that country are capable of original thought.

I'd make the case that Dark Souls is the same genre as the Gothic games--over-the-shoulder action RPG where you spend most of your time getting your ass handed to you.

It blows your mind that people disagree with your special snowflake definition of JRPG?

"Japanese Role-Playing Game" = "Role-Playing Game Developed by a Japanese company in Japan for a Japanese audience" is a "special snowflake" definition?
