On the topic of adding the "J" to RPGs. I never understood how being Japanese was a genre. From a mechanical POV, there's more turn-based RPGs from Japan, but there are also more strategy and action RPGs as well; more RPGs in general, as Japan is the biggest market for RPGs in the world.

Tje only real mark of difference that these so-called "JRPGs" have is the anime art style. But then why aren't other genres called J-something either, as the anime style is used in most games made in Japan period.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
