The list is expecially focused on turn based or action RPGs that at least somewhat share certain eastern influences that are beloved by JRPG fans lengthy story memorable characters and bosses carefully crafted world etc
Those are the subgenres where we find most casts of kidsteens and I was a little too tired of the Rick Twelve Years Old Just Left His Moms Basement To Save The World And Peep At His Sidekicks Panties formula
Im still gonna consider western RPGs but Im not gonna care for generic triplea games that can be barely called an RPG such as Assassins Creed Tomb Raider etc
Criterias
Majority of the cast is over the age of 18
Should act and be treated like adults
idk thats it for now
Feel free to shoot me a pm if you have a suggestion or if you notice a game that doesnt belong I didnt play most of these so some might be added by accident
Hi! I’ve been working on a list of RPGs (mostly japanese or j-influenced somewhat) in which the cast is mostly adults. The list is hosted on backloggd.
Leaving it here both in case it may be useful to anyone, but also in case you spot any missing titles that you believe should be added :) cheers!
P.S: the only reason for not taking western RPGs into consideration is because… well, most of them already feature adult casts. Think series such as Divinity, Shadowrun, Baldur’s Gate, etc. However, those usually play dramatically different when compared to the JRPG-style turn-based combat.
Fair question! After I grew up to around 21/22 years old, I felt like I had a harder time resonating with young teens in JRPGs: coming of age stories can be a bit… dull at times, it’s common in JRPGs to take someone quite immature and make them grow up as they save the world; more often than not there’s also either awkward/creepy tropes in many of those that make the game and the characters much less appealing or straight up uncomfortable to me.
I guess I would genuinely prefer to spend my time on media starring adults while still remaining in the genre of JRPGs.

I just assumed there was a court order requiring you to stay at least 50’ from all underage video game characters.
I don’t get the downvotes. OP seems a little bit sussy baka for the usual gyatt for the rizzler shenanigans.
I have no idea what you just said, but I appreciate your support!
Arent you the “the world would be better off if kids werent real” guy
