Japan is the home of RPGs! Works focused on narrative with character progression have marked the history of Japanese entertainment since the 1980s, when Nintendo released its first video game and with it came a flurry of such franchises. Although some claim that the country has a hard time doing anything else, the fact is that works of this type are still thriving there and influencing other entertainment sectors.
