A friend of mine is constantly telling me "JRPGs arent RPGS because blah blah choices blah" and I would always counter "well they have their historical roots in tabletop rpgs so the label isnt inaccurate" and I based that on a video that i couldnt find. And i FOUND it. Its not actually that hard to find lmao <3 I just wasnt trying that hard because I instead pointed them to an Extra Credits video about the differences between JRPGs and WRPGs and why those are innacurate labels and how genre names for video games just suck in general.

But here is a fucking VIDEO that explains the direct line between D&D to Ultima to Dragon Quest. FUCKING FINALLY.
