JRPG
Genre
Japanese Role-Playing Game — a subgenre of RPGs developed primarily in Japan, typically featuring turn-based or semi-real-time combat, anime-influenced art styles, linear story progression, and party-based gameplay. Defining series include Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Persona, Tales of, and Xenoblade Chronicles. JRPGs are known for elaborate stories, character development arcs, and often dozens of hours of gameplay.
For new players
JRPGs usually have a big story, a cast of party members, and battles where you select moves from menus — very different feel from Western action RPGs.
