The format of RPG that is being developed is of type JRPG, Japanese Role Playing Game.

What is a JRPG?

JRPGs (Japanese Role-Playing Games) are games that differ from Western-style role-playing games. JRPGs are usually, but not always, created by Japanese developers. The name “JRPG” comes from the term “console RPG,” which refers to games such as Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy[1]. However, because the name JRPG now encompasses a wide range of RPGs, it is no longer considered a genre but rather an umbrella phrase. A game can be classified as a JRPG if it meets the requirements that one would expect to find in a JRPG.
