History of JRPGs / console-style rpgs

[therpgfanatic]

I have a two part video I put together that has information I really want to get out there because I think many people don't really understand "Japanese roleplaying games" as well as they think they do. It makes me sad when I see so much misinformation spread around the net about these games, especially when I see people criticizing one of them for being exactly what it was intended to be.

Fantastic, I enjoyed both of them a lot and they are really informative about my favorite industry! See, not a genre.

I do agree with the fact that the term "JRPG" is generalizing a lot of things with everything that comes out of Japan. Sad thing is that the generalization, much like everything else, is going to stay in the minds of many and... well, that just sucks.

I've got a new video up, a review for Kingdom Hearts
