I've been thinking a lot about jRPGs vs the other type (seems to be less agreed on how to call them) for a while now. I used to have a pretty solid definition of the differences but came to realize I actually don't know *that* many RPGs at all. Comparing some of the big recent ones, the most stable difference to me seems to be if it's a "build your own adventure" type thing, which jRPGs tend to not be - and I actually like that.
