What’s the difference between a JRPG and a KRPG

terminology

"J" should stand for Japan, while "K" should stand for "Korean"; I've met this term a few times and I'd like to know more about the differences on J/K (Computer) RPG.

I am no expert but I believe the fundamental differences between the two subgenres are:

KRPGS:

  • Lots of grinding
  • Technical character builds
  • Item based
  • Weaker story line

JRPGs:

  • Strong storyline
  • Less about specialised player builds
  • Faster to 'progress' your character.
