First and foremost, JRPGs, a genre born in Japan in the late 1980s, are renowned for their captivating stories, anime-inspired visuals, and intuitive gameplay. The panelists emphasized their simplicity and lack of convoluted rules, making it effortless for players to dive into vibrant worlds and connect with compelling characters. Moreover, turn-based combat, a cornerstone of many JRPGs, also took center stage as a defining element. While the genre originated in Japan, the panel acknowledged that Western studios also contribute to its rich tapestry. However, the experts agreed that it’s the style and gameplay mechanics that truly define a JRPG, not simply its country of origin.
