When will everyone stop tossing a "J" on RPGs? When games like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 7, Legend of Dragoon, etc came out, nobody said "This is the best JAYrpg ever", they simply called it an RPG. It should be undertsood that RPGs are Japanese, however, calling a game a WRPG (Western) is different as Westerners try and make RPGs of their own. But still, when it comes to Final Fantasies and Dragon Quests.....leave the "J" out, because those same games weren't called "JRPGs" 10 years earlier.

Oh how I miss the days of yore........

/silly rant over

 Because Japanese Rpg's have a distinctive style to them, plus it's just easy to type, that's why I slap on the J.
