Japanese RPG (JRPG)

A Japanese RPG (JRPG) is a genre of role-playing video games originating in Japan, characterized by rich storytelling, complex characters, and turn-based combat systems. They often feature immersive worlds, detailed lore, and strategic battles where players control a party of characters. JRPGs typically emphasize narrative and character development, with players making choices that influence the story. While they share core elements with Western RPGs, JRPGs often have distinct artistic styles, cultural themes, and gameplay mechanics, making them a unique and influential segment of the broader role-playing game genre.
