beautifuldreams posted...to me it seems like people are just including everything RPGish as a JRPG to try to buff PS3. there were a few i missed like Persona 5, FFX, but a lot of the others are a stretch
"JRPG" is a poorly defined concept that different individuals use in different ways. Most people seem to for example include SRPGs, some include action-RPGs like Ys, some say it has to be turn-based but still claim the Tales games are part of the genre, others require an anime art style and some say it's just RPGs made by Japanese companies. Then there are the nutcases who basically include anything Japanese. I have several times seen Catherine being recommended as a JRPG.
It's a word that has lost its meaning and can't be used without further clarifying what you actually mean with it.
