The term '''Eastern RPG''', contrasting with WesternRPG, is a SubGenre of RolePlayingGames. It is an extension of the term '''Japanese RPG''' (a.k.a. "JRPG") to a more general Eastern cultural sphere (with Japanese-inspired game designs) instead of just a single country. The term '''Console RPG''' was historically a synonym for Japanese [=RPGs=], due to their historical preference for console-only or handheld-only releases; the name has largely fallen into disuse as multi-platform releases became the new norm in the 2000s.

Eastern RPG, as it is commonly used and understood, is differentiated from Western RPG on an [[UsefulNotes/MechanicsDynamicsAesthetics Aesthetical]] level; Eastern and Western [=RPGs=] elicit very different forms of sensational and emotional responses from their players through their different applications of similar RPG mechanics. The emergence of this different form of aesthetical design comes from a combination of East Asian cultural influences and East Asian game design histories; some information on the history part can be seen below.

Some of the visible traits of Eastern [=RPGs=] that differentiates them from Western [=RPGs=] include:
* Aimed to satisfy the player's need for a well-crafted interactive story with interesting characters and complex interactions.
* The art styles can often resemble those of {{Anime}} or {{Manga}}.
* Many tend to follow linear plots, with less of a WideOpenSandbox setting, and many may not feature discrete "quests". However, there are many Japanese [=RPGs=] that do offer non-linear narratives.
* The player usually controls a party of pre-designed characters. The player is sometimes offered a choice of what characters to use, but not the option of [[CharacterCustomization designing their own protagonists]], which allows a more cinematic and tightly scripted story. But again, there are many Eastern [=RPGs=] that deviate from this.
* The party members are usually written into the plot, rather than [[FeaturelessProtagonist blank slates]].
* Later games tend to have one or more elaborate, minigame-like "systems" (such as the License Grid in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'') that allow skill and ability customization.
* RandomEncounters are a common gameplay element, especially in older games.
* TurnBasedCombat and the various {{Combatant Cooldown System}}s are prevalent, although action-based combat has also been popular at different times.
* A degree of LevelGrinding is strongly encouraged, if not outright required, to proceed through many of the games.
* Most encounters are resolved through combat or cutscenes. [[RPGsEqualCombat Most quests and abilities are combat-oriented.]]
* UsefulNotes/{{Dice}} rolls are always hidden and stats are given as arbitrary numbers. Sometimes dice rolls aren't used at all, and fights are based on your stats versus the enemy's stats alone.
* Often contain a few {{Mini Game}}s.
* Often targeted towards a broader audience, including young children and female audiences (hence the {{Bishonen}} or {{Shonen}} characters often found in this genre).

Eastern RPG can also be narrowly defined as a Role-Playing Game developed in East Asia; this definition however is less useful as a genre descriptor, as East Asian [=RPGs=] actually covers a wide variety of aesthetics beyond that of the turn-based JRPG, and even includes straight-up [=CRPG=]-styled "Western [=RPGs=]"[[note]] For example, later entries of the CRPG pioneer ''VideoGame/{{Wizardry}}'' (e.g. ''VideoGame/WizardryLabyrinthOfLostSouls'') are straight-up ''made in Japan'' [[/note]]. Nevertheless, expect to see some games in this page to be categorized as Eastern [=RPGs=] using this definition. [[note]]This also means that East-Asian-made [=WRPG=]-styled [=RPGs=] can be classified as ''both'' [=WRPGs=] and [=ERPGs=].[[/note]]

[=JRPGs=] can encompass several different diverse sub-genres:

* '''Turn-based RPG''' (a.k.a. '''Light RPG'''): The turn-based RPG is the type of game people think about when the term "JRPG" is mentioned. The turn-based RPG format was codified in the game ''VideoGame/DragonQuestI'' from 1986, which also codified almost all staple elements of the JRPG genre, making turn-based [=RPGs=] the first true [=JRPGs=]. Turn-based [=RPGs=] are arguably the most popular from the Platform/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem to Platform/PlayStation2 eras. With later generations, the gameplay has been mixing up with other genres (including {{Action Game}}s, {{Adventure Game}}s, {{Simulation Game}}s, and {{Strategy Game}}s) though the general "explore / get into battles / some variation on turn-based combat" is still going strong for many games within this sub-genre.
* '''ActionRPG''': A genre that mixes JRPG gameplay with Action Adventure elements (emphasis on elements), so that while it keeps the strongly plotted story, occasionally manga/anime-influenced characters, experience and statistics, the turn-based battle system is done away with in favor of a more real-time method of attack resembling {{Action Game}}s. The Action RPG sub-genre has its origins in early 80s Japanese [=RPGs=] like ''VideoGame/DragonSlayer'' and ''VideoGame/{{Hydlide}}'', which combined traditional RPG elements with Japanese UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame action elements. Up until the early 2000s, the majority of {{action RPG}}s were from Japan, but in recent years, it is arguably more common to see {{action RPG}}s from the West.
* '''SoulsLikeRPG''': A genre that puts emphasis on dodging and moving over other mechanics. Typically NintendoHard and have a much darker tone than other Eastern [=RPGs=], and the most recent of the sub-genres, with the genre coming into being with ''VideoGame/DemonsSouls'' in 2009 and being popularized by ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' in 2011, hence the name of the sub-genre.
* '''StrategyRPG''' (a.k.a. '''Tactical RPG'''): These are TurnBasedStrategy games done in the "Console RPG style", though more recent examples of the sub-genre have also incorporated RealTimeStrategy elements. In contrast to the traditional turn-based format above (represented by ''Dragon Quest'' and ''Final Fantasy''), tactical [=RPGs=] allow more [[CommonTacticalGameplayElements freedom of movement in battle]], while the narratives are also more likely to be [[StoryBranching non-linear]], with strategic decisions often having an impact on the way the story unfolds. This tactical RPG style has traditionally been dominated by Japan, since Western turn-based RPG's usually already allow for freedom of movement in battle by default.
* '''DungeonCrawler''': This subgenre can include both Eastern and Western games; it was more common among Western [=RPGs=] up until the 1990s, but has today become more popular in the East than it is in the West.

The history of [=JRPGs=] (and in turn Eastern [=RPGs=]) and how the genre diverged from Western [=RPGs=] originates from the divergences of design between Western Computer [=RPGs=] and Japanese Console [=RPGs=]. Japanese role-playing game development was in its early days very much inspired by early Western Computer RPG genre pioneers like ''VideoGame/{{Wizardry}}'' or ''VideoGame/{{Ultima}}''. However, in the 1980s, home computers did not take hold in Japanese homes like in Western countries due to their cost, as a result, there was little market for role-playing games like ''Wizardry'' or ''Ultima''.

The introduction and proliferation of the Platform/{{Famicom}} home video game console created an opportunity for such RPG video games to be adapted for a wider audience; ''VideoGame/DragonQuestI'' in 1986 took the ''Wizardry'' and ''Ultima'' format and simplified it for the limited powers of the console. ''Dragon Quest'' soon became a cultural phenomenon and hugely influential within Japanese video game development, becoming the the TropeCodifier, if not TropeMaker, of the JRPG genre. In the decades after ''Dragon Quest'', console [=RPGs=] made in Japan and Computer [=RPGs=] made in Western countries increasingly diverged in their designs, influenced by cultural differences as well as the different foundations these genres are built on.

In the 2000s, as the power of consoles grew, and MultiPlatform development became the norm rather than the exception, the differentiation of [=RPGs=] by console or computer became increasingly inapplicable. This in turn led to the creation of the Japanese/Western RPG distinction. This distinction is criticized by many industry veterans as being misleading or otherwise unhelpful, and cross-influences as well as odd cases do indeed exist within this spectrum of games and genres. Regardless, the use of these two terms have persisted at least for now.

Role-playing game development in other East Asian countries (mainly China and South Korea) took a lot of their influences from Japanese role-playing games; one of the earliest and most influential Chinese role-playing games, ''VideoGame/SwordAndFairy'' (''Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan''), quite clearly exhibited many JRPG influences. As JRPG traits are being exhibited in other East Asian [=RPGs=] outside of Japan, this led some to choose to expand of the term "Japanese RPG" into "Eastern RPG".
