Information


And not all RPGs made in Japan are JRPGs.

JRPG is a sub-genre of RPG. It is a game style.

The more you know.

Practically speaking, are there any JRPGs that weren't made in Japan?

Poll results and almost every article about it out there say otherwise

incorrect, the nation of origin is what determines whether or not an RPG is a JRPG or not

Dark Souls is a JRPG

Nope.

The original names for these genres were PC-Style RPG and Console-Style RPG.

Dark Souls is PC Style making it a WRPG.

I'd say they are only made in Japan. Other games I'd call JRPG style. But really I don't care enough to argue. If someone feels strongly that Cosmic Star Heroine for example is a JRPG, they basically mean the same thing as me saying JRPG style game so I see no reason to be all nitpicky when we both know what we mean.

Yeah.

SRPGs and JRPGs are better set in 2 different categories.

Tales, Star Ocean, Most FF games, Atelier are all JRPGs

Tactics Ogre, Disgaea, FF Tactics, Fire Emblem are better suited as SRPGs

Dark Souls is absolutely a WRPG made in Japan. JRPG is a completely different style. Its about styles, not actual country of origin. Something can be Japanese or western styled while being made elsewhere

how did video game genre names become such a disaster

JRPG/WRPG are obvious ones for this topic but they're by no means the worst. Puzzle? Adventure? ACTION???

Adventure comes from the old text adventure games which were computerized CYOAs.

Action is pretty self explanatory I think.

Puzzle is kind of weird though. Is Tetris really a puzzle?

This topic is proof that I like RPGs may as well just translate to I like video games. Theres, like, zero universal agreement on what they are, especially JRPGs. Everyones gonna have different definitions because it essentially means nothing any more, and every definition on an individual basis has a crapload of exceptions that would count the likes of Call of Duty and sports games as JRPGs without their knowing xD

Because a lot of gamers love semantic arguments. It's become far easier to just describe how a game plays since everybody argues over minor shit like genre names.

I guess in some sense it's self explanatory but if you use it that way it's so broad that it's useless. I often feel like it wouldn't feel out of place on any sort of game with realtime elements

no, tetris is an action game

JRPGs have to come from Japan. If it's like a JRPG but isn't from Japan it's a sparkling weeb game.

I was not aware of this one, will have to check it out. They also made Breath of Death VII which is a real good time, although not quite as good as Cthulhu Saves The World IMO

Breath of Death VII is basically just a prototype for Cthulhu Saves the World
