The lights are on
Why do you have amnesia? Which party member will the bad guy kill? Is that stoic swordsman your father? You could play a bunch of 50-plus hour games to find the answers to these questions individually, or you can go through this handy flowchart. It's like playing every Japanese RPG ever made, but all at once.
Appearing in the latest issue of Game Informer, this flowchart gives you a chance to relive the most overused tricks and tropes of the role-playing genre. Since it took up two full magazine pages, the text is a little small for normal Internet viewing. However, you can use the link below to download a poster-sized version of the chart, then zoom in to your heart's content.
Right-click here and choose "save target as" to download and view the hi-res flowchart.
If you like this one, be sure to check out our "Will You Survive The Zombie Apocalypse?" flowchart, too!

I LOL'd so much out of this when it was on the magazine :D
This is amazing.
this made me so happy when this was in the magazine. o JRPGs, how unoriginal
Holy crap!!!O_O
This made me Lol. It's so true.
This is AWESOME!!!
I loved this in the magazine. I was laughing the whole way through. I even recommended it to my JRPG loving friend.
This was so funny! It must've taken up a lot of time to make.
If this isn't awesome i don't know what is.
I love jrpgs, but this is so true it makes me laugh and cry at the same time
That flowchart is quite an adventure (no matter how unoriginal it is, lol).
SWEET! I'm totally gonna use this. You better be right. ALWAYS!
I love these. The amount of work that goes into making one must be quite a bit. Good job.
hahahahaha i loved this thing! can i go with you? no. haha youre funny!
I've often gotten stuck in the game because of that "Younger Relative" Scenario... Anyone got a strategy guide for this? XD This current issue made my day. Thank you GI!
This was so funny in the magazine. You forgot the "you take up your over-sized sword" option, though.
I... I only wanted to kill everyone...! That's all... was that so wrong? ... Who's the real monster here? ... Not... not I ...
Hilarious.
i liked it when it said "amnesia-like freak-out"
