I find it a bit wierd actually Im Filipino but I like Western mmo's alot compared to asian ones .
I never liked asian mmo's with the exception of Ragnarok online (the only asian mmo i considered 'Worth the money') I always prefer games like Ever Quest,Dark age of Camelot and Shadow Bane compared to the Anime style mmo's
Most of the asian people I know would find it quite odd since they like those anime, Japanese themed mmo's you see on asian mmo's today .
I know this may sound wrong and I am going to apologize just in case but everytime i hear or see a Asian mmo it will always scream to my mind 'AVOID IT AT ALL COST !' Thats why i never really gave a damn about mmo's like Aion and upcoming asian mmo's like TERA and Blade and Soul
Is there any asian people that have the same taste as me ?
Race doesnt factor in on what you enjoy. Its more so on the culture you were raised in.

yah thats y he's weird, cus ppl from his culture shuld like asian mmo not western mmo, so it makes him weird cus he likes stuff that's different from wat other ppl in his culture like
1.) As far as I know, Filipinos are westernized. Western culture almost directly affects their culture.
2.) Filipinos are everywhere--and this is not a figurative statement. Your race is pretty much exposed to several cultures.
3.) Race doesn't matter very much for real gamers. They appreciate the game by its core game mechanics. When you see aesthetics that are influenced by Western/Eastern culture, you see them as the theme of the game, but not necessarily affect your perception about them. It is the gameplay that affects you.
I'm pretty much sure that if a western mmorpg uses asian aesthetics as its theme, as long as it keeps its western gameplay, you will still love it.

But if he was raised in the western culture it makes sense that he would like western games. Anyways western style games have a following in all type of cultures. Above all else You like what you like theres nothing weird about it.

i am not asian and i prefer asian mmos (i hate the grind of course) but i like the settings way more. The only western mmo i prefer overall is.... you guessed it, WoW (im kind of excited about next asian expansion MoP)... and im not even subbed right now. If asian mmos had the quest progression less focused on kill 30+ rats, and had a more indepth Lore they would be the best ones in my personal opinion. Besides the heavy grinding i think the Lore in most asian mmos is pretty short and incomplete which affects immersion big time. I still prefer eastern mmos and hope they take some western tips on Lore progression and development(without breaking the asian settings / plot of course)

I can think of several reasons:
1.) As far as I know, Filipinos are westernized. Western culture almost directly affects their culture.
2.) Filipinos are everywhere--and this is not a figurative statement. Your race is pretty much exposed to several cultures.
3.) Race doesn't matter very much for real gamers. They appreciate the game by its core game mechanics.

No.
It means you actually like a decent product that does not require you to grind and poopsock your way through horrible gameplay.
That is like asking "Is it weird that I'm Asian but I prefer not to indulge in Chinese Water Tourture?"

I'm Italian, I love sushi.
Welcome to individuality.
So no.
I'm starting to actually prefer asian grinders than liner quest hub crap.
I used to play MMOs like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.
I'm asian, I like western storylines but asian art design MMO's.
Now IF only someone would combine the 2.
Edit: Not those cheap F2P asian mmos either but the ones like TERA AION Lineage2 etc etc.
