Résumé
DO YOU WANT TO DISCOVER HOW THE FIRST JAPANESE ROLE-PLAYING GAMES ORIGINATED?Although role-playing video games originated in the United States through enthusiastic students at the University of Illinois who were passionate about the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop role-playing game, it didn't take long for the East to discover this passion for fantasy adventures. After the first virtual replicas of board role-playing games and the existence of the first RPG video games, Japan eventually imported this hobby and molded it in its own image to generate a new and exciting sub-genre: JRPG games.
The first computer role-playing games, specifically Ultima and Wizardry, made such an impact in the East that the Japanese soon began to create their own versions. But these had their own essence: more colorful games, with simpler parameters and focused on complex plots and charismatic characters that began to establish the limits of Japanese role-playing. A type of adventure games that would end up transcending borders and creating a unique style beyond their place of creation.
In fact, it was in the 80s and 90s through Nintendo consoles, when Japanese role-playing games would end up taking the lead in virtual adventures with sagas such as Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy, causing great popularity in these games and universalizing them, until then in the shadow of popular action games. This origin and journey from the shadow to the establishment as one of the main genres of video games, is what you will enjoy throughout these pages that honor the early and difficult years of the JPRG.
In this book you will discover: What is a JRPG and what are its characteristics? The Western roots of role-playing video games and their arrival in Japan The importance of tabletop role-playing and Dungeons & Dragons The first computers in Japanese territory and their role in the importation of RPG games The Black Onyx, the first successful Japanese role-playing video game The influence of the acarde era in the first action role-playing games such as Dragon Slayer or Hydlide Yuji Horii and Enix, the seed of the Japanese RPG explosion Dragon Quest and the universalization of JRPG games The origins of Square and the importance of Final Fantasy for the development of JRPG games The origin of tactical and strategic JPRG games Megami Tensei and the darker side of JRPG games The importance of narrative in Japanese RPG and its implementation over time Nintendo consoles, Famicom and Super Famicom, and their role in the popularization of Japanese role-playing video games SEGA and the legacy of its Phantasy Star saga The arrival of JRPG games in the West The difficulties of localization and censorship of the first JRPG games The contribution of the first JRPGs to the current video game industry All this and much more in a book that will allow you to discover the origin and evolution of the early years of Japanese role-playing video games!
