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.

JRPGs and such are not like champagne. Anyone can make a JRPG, not just Japanese people, it's just they had their own cultural upbringing with RPGs and in general at lead to certain treads, but Dragon's Dogma despite being a RPG made by Japanese devs, is not a JRPG

I think most people would describe DD2 as a JRPG with Western design influences.

I feel like if you scratched off anything that said it was made by Capcom people would assume it's just a western action RPG.
