Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.

Eastern RPG is also used to mean Japanese console-style RPGs even if they're made in the West. The term (or more commonly, the term JRPG) predates TVTropes and is used to refer to the RPG subgenre spawned by Dragon Quest III, hence the taxonomic confusion you're seeing when Western developers make games in the genre.

I noticed video games made by RPG Maker are almost all listed in the index of Eastern RPG. Now RPG Maker is indeed a Japanese game engine, but not every video game made with it is from a Japanese production. Wouldn't it be better to remove RPG Maker from Eastern RPG unless they're an actual Japanese production? Right now it appears to be but a redundant index which lists the same exact things.
