The ‘JRPG’ label has always been othering

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

This is a very valid point that I don't care about Yoshi "Black People can't exist in FFXVI"-P bringing up lol
I have, in fact, talked to people who are insistent that any RPG made in Japan is a JRPG and any game not made in Japan isn't. They argued that Dark Souls is a JRPG. They were entirely serious.
Did they also argue that a hot dog is a sandwich?
That would be a ridiculous position to hold.
A hot dog is clearly a taco.
Amusingly, Dark Souls seems to have spawned its own mini-genre, with people now calling games "Souls-likes".
Oof. Thanks for mentioning this.
Yuck, I just looked up his statements about that. Yeah, I don’t know if I will be playing FFXVI. There are plenty of games that don’t have that problem. Diablo 4 is a good example.
