--- Quote from: pikalink91 on July 25, 2014, 08:24:29 am ---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 --- End quote --- It's not so much an indicator of where the game was made, it's more of an indicator of play-style. There are American-made JRPGs out there. That's why I questioned the origin of the name of the genre. Because since it isn't exclusive to Japan with those games, I figured it came from the origin of the genre. |

Hey guys! This is my first post on VGcollect! Final Fantasy III definitely got me hooked for a good amount of time, though I never finished it. It's on my list of games to play next, but I will have to start it from the beginning to get back into the story and atmosphere. |

So then shouldn't we be calling them BRPGs? --- End quote --- The difference between Ultima and Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest for example is due to how limited the RPG elements are to the point people argue if they are rpgs. Ultima plot branches, you can control your management, you can interact with the world more so then DQ and FF. Wizardry is the closest to Jrpgs in whole, but even then there were still some differences and the similarities end with the first game since they started getting used to technology while Jrpgs kept the same system. |
