The JRPG genre usually deals with high fantasy or sci-fi settings that add to the sense of adventure these games try to push on players, and understandably so. The best games in the genre know how to help players enjoy an epic for the ages, helping them climb up from humble beginnings before eventually being roped into a quest to save the world from a godlike being. So, the last thing players would expect from a JRPG is for it to be set in a modern-day setting that may not seem all that unbelievable at first glance.
