JRPG is definitely a genre. It isn't just typical gameplay that makes a genre, there is also the style of the game and JRPGs are often of a similar style. Whether that be the story, the graphics or indeed the gameplay. |
Genre is about gameplay. Theme is about universe. Genres have actual classifications made by theoricians.
Is there any genre you can think that is not defined by its gameplay ?
