For many, Japanese Role-Playing Games are more than just the defeating of monsters, the collecting of treasures, and the toppling of bosses. Indeed, ever since the initial Playstation made its way to shelves worldwide back in 1994, JRPGs have been an escape from the harsh realities of the real world as they allow gamers to make real connections with characters, explore worlds of their dreams, and live their wildest fantasies. Now in 2021 with the Playstation 4 still steadily pumping out innovative titles with incredible graphics and modern gameplay, the question comes down to not why do you play, but what will you play?
