Every JRPG Ever [ VIDEO ]
This video summarizes “every” Japanese role-playing game ever, if that list of JRPGs only includes: Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI and Final Fantasy VII. Did I miss any? Because I do believe this video sure did.
For starters, it completely ignores the entire Pokémon franchise, but that’s easy enough to overlook. You know, it’s only the second largest video game franchise in the world [1].
How about Megami Tensei or Mother? Where do these franchises fit into this “complete” encapsulation? Or what about Dark Souls? That is another popular Japanese role-playing game series, but I guess we’re just going to ignore that.
Look. I know this video was intended to be funny, and in that aspect I guess it works. But to call itself Every JRPG Ever, feels a little insulting and near-sighted to me. Maybe a better name for this video could have been The Only JRPGs, the Guy who Made it, Owned in the ’90s.
Is it wrong that this video actually irked me, as much as it did?
