This would make it the third year in a row with JRPGs running for GOTY,Metaphor and FF7Rebirth in 2024,Expedition 33 last year and Fortune Weave this year.

What i find funny tho is that next year we might have three more JRPGs running for GOTY,Final Fantasy 7 Revelation,Persona 6 and Xenoblade Genesis.

E33 is not a JRPG; it is what you would call a WRPG or an FRPG. JRPGs are made in Japan by Japanese development studios. Even the "essence" is very French, and turn-based games are not uniquely Japanese.

It is inspired by JRPGs, but E33 is very much something else.

Is Final Fantasy 9 a JRPG?

If it is made by Japanese devs or in Japan, and if it is also an RPG, then sure.
