Japanese or Western RPGs?

[GameWizard001]

I've never played a Western RPG; they all look exactly the same to me.

I'll admit that a big draw for me is neat looking characters. Western RPGs just have far too realistic, boring, male characters to play as. I want to play as some animu looking character with funny colored hair.

Thankfully Japanese RPGs also usually have a fun story as well so I haven't ended up throwing away money thanks to my stupid tastes.

That's true. Most games made by a Western company usually go for the biggest macho look they can. Look at Gears of War.

Also with JRPGs you have the hilarious moments of wondering if a character is a guy or a chick, especially if they don't have voice acting to give you a hint. Some of those dudes are way too pretty.
