JRPG



Japanese role-playing games, commonly abbreviated as JRPGs, form a distinctive type of role-playing game, a video game genre. JRPGs are typically characterized by their linear narrative, complex plot and character development, and anime-style visuals. This is in contrast to Western role-playing games, or WRPGs. Some well-known examples of JRPGs include the Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Tales, and Chrono series.

Many GameFAQs users, including those on Current Events, love this type of video game to the point of sexual attraction. It is for this reason that the site is often facetiously referred to as "SquareFAQs" (after the Japanese video game company).
