Why are they called JRPGs, anyways? Didn't Ultima begin that play-style? And isn't that a British series? So then shouldn't we be calling them BRPGs?

MJMaranan:
Probably because the games that developed aforementioned games are Japanese studios or creators... Topic really isn't mainly about the play style origin but the developer and overall style, I believe. JRPGs are even transitioning to action-RPG elements nowadays. "Witch And The Hundred Knight," "Demon's Souls," and "Dark Souls" to name a few... So does that mean we should call the genre poseurs?

If that's the case, I guess indie RPGs should also be in the same genre.

Funny though, how only japanese role playing games are given the specific genre title of "J-RPG", whereas RPGs made everywhere else in the world are merely called "RPG" xD

There's also:

SRPG's, ARPG's, etc...

BUT - I'm not going into the "What constitutes an RPG" and/or the "What, exactly is the difference between an RPG & a JRPG" time-sinks topic/debate because...different people have different defining criteria; which, is perfectly fine by me.

And, if it's good enough for pornography + good enough for the Supreme Court...I may not be able to define it, but I know it when I see it works just fine for me, as well 8)

Even in the atari days the japs were swaying to the anime style while the americans were focusing on realistic games. You know the atari 2600 flopped in japan lol.
