Here's A Video Of Every JRPG You've Ever Played
Remember when your mother woke you up at the beginning of your favorite JRPG? And finding the magic crystals? And the important minigames?
College Humor pretty much hits the nail on the head with its video lampooning the many tropes adopted by assorted JRPGs. You've got the morning wake up, the important incident, airships, spiky hair, pre-rendered cutscenes, dinosaurs, and a whole lot more that even casual fans of the genre will have likely experienced at one point or another.
You can check out the video below.
You can also check out our own incredibly in-depth flowchart of the JRPG, tracking everything from trying to enter an inappropriate name for your protagonist, to summoning space dragons by heading here.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
