I don’t think it’d be hyperbolic to say that the PlayStation 2 was the game console that really got the JRPG genre firing on all cylinders. There were JRPGs before then, of course, many of which were even released in the west. It was the PS2, though, that really started hitting us with a deluge of titles from across the spectrum of developers and styles, thanks in large part to the console’s excellent third-party support.
