What makes a JRPG?

Current Events

Secret of Evermore (SNES) is a JRPG made by a US development team.
Magna Carta (PC, PS2, 360) is a JRPG series made by a Korean development team.
Chained Echoes (PC: WIN/MAC/LIN, PS4, XBO, NS, XSX/XSS) is a JRPG made by a German KS project team.

So, style is determined by the game's stylistic gameplay elements, not the game team's geographic location of development.

This isn't even specific to bread or even food. Toyota has a factory in Kentucky. It's still a Japanese car, it's just made in America.
KFC made in Tokyo with KFC-standard recipes, supplies, and equipment does not auto-magically become TFC. :)
