The fact that we label them based on where they were made, something we never do with other genres, proves it. One of the biggest problems this generate is making consumers that like one of those two, expect a similar feeling from the other. Also JRPG has dropped the ball big time in their narratives. The best of them, like Souls series or Monter Hunter, are actually Western RPGs made in japan, not JRPGs. |
All JRPG literally means is that it's a japanese role playing game. Those are JRPGs but they just don't fit neatly into the JRPG stereotype. Japanese devs are starting to play around with different kinds of RPG's than what they typically do. I don't know how many gems we missed because they were never localized.
