MY BRAIN HAD A THINK ABOUT A GAM3

So it's their word and we shouldn't use it?

Think for a Japanese game, we can use and go Japan is great from what Harada saying but for a Sea of Stars no as it's not Japanese.

Though then what you call Sea of Stars, a 16-Bit inspired RPG? Yay genre talk

This was the most recent one doing the rounds.

Yeah... my issue is that it's the only one I've seen doing the rounds, pretty much. Also calling JRPGs JRPGs only if they're made in Japan somehow feels more offensive to me than calling games of a particular style JRPGs. And then what do you call something from China in a similar style? Or, as Mas says, Chained Echoes? (To use an example of a better game.)

At least we can all agree Metroidvania is fine though.
