Summary:
"Take a journey through the history of Japanese role-playing
games
--
from the creators who built it, the
games
that defined it, and the stories that transformed pop culture and continue to capture the imaginations of millions of fans to this day. The Japanese roleplaying game (JRPG) genre is one that is known for bold, unforgettable characters; rich stories, and some of the most iconic and beloved
games
in the industry. Inspired by early western RPGs and introducing technology and artistic styles that pushed the boundaries of what video
games
could be, this genre is responsible for creating some of the most complex, bold, and beloved
games
in history--and it has the fanbase to prove it. In 'Fight, Magic, Items,' Aidan Moher guides readers through the fascinating history of JRPGs, exploring the technical challenges, distinct narrative and artistic visions, and creative rivalries that fueled the creation of countless iconic
games
and their quest to become the best, not only in
Japan
, but in North America, too."--From publisher.
