Hey guys. I'm trying to make a list of all JRPG games ever released. I know it's not that easy, but I'm not a perfectionist, I would be fine with only 99.99% of JRPGs.
Anyways, I want you to take a look at this list, and tell me if I missed something.
(Obvious tip: use Ctrl+F to search in the list to see if the series you have in mind is there)
I would also appreciate it if you take a look at the games in the "Not sure if considered JRPG" under Misc. section and let me know whether you consider them a JRPG or not.
My list rules are as follows:
JRPG franchises:1-Games must be developed in japan and have RPG elements as part of their main gameplay
1a-10% of the list can be dedicated to Korean, Chinese, and Western RPGs that mimic the JRPG artistically and technically
2-The list includes turn-base RPGs, Action RPGs, and Strategy RPGs
2a-The list does not include MMORPGs
3-The games must be available in English, either through official release or fan translation
3a-A small percentage of the list can be dedicated to the greatest JRPGs that are not available in English.
4-The games must be either part of a franchise or otherwise noteworthy
5-A series belongs to the list if the majority of games follow the above rules
