I saw someone say that being akin to a Wizardry title makes something a JRPG and had an anuerism.

Heh.
Well, isn't the draw/stigma of JRPGs the love of the grind? Games like the first Bard's Tale, which was just one giant dungeon-romp, could be reclassified under the JRPG umbrella now.

Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

Usually the JRPG/WRPG split is far more between the handling of characters and story.

Grind, to me, is besides the point. It can be present in any flavor of RPG.

No, it's pretty much languished for a while.
