List of japanese role playing games

Note: This list is still incomplete. You know a game and it's not there? Feel free to expand it.

This is a comprehensive index of japanese role-playing video games, sorted chronologically by year. Information regarding date of release, developer, publisher, operating system, sub-genre and notability is provided where available. To keep order, the games are sorted by their official english translated titles if available, unless it causes confusions such as game series. (e.g. Dragon Warrior III will be found as Dragon Quest III.) The table can be sorted by clicking on the small triangles next to the column headings. All sub-genres and spin-off are listed, to see a more specific list, see:
