So long as you don't have the category as something called "RPG" and you call it a "JRPG" then you are stuck with a form of RPG that isn't going to change, because it stops being a "JRPG". This is NOT to say that RPGs from Japan can't evolve or revolve, just they will start to deviate from the template we put what we call "JRPGs" then we start to think of them as something else. And speaking of Demon's Soul, anyone here consider it a"JRPG" as opposed to an RPG from Japan?
One can say the same about Val. Chronicles. Is this a JRPG? Or is it a strategic RPG from Japan?
