It's easy to state outright that JRPGs and visual novels are completely different genres that can be differentiated at a glance. The truth is that most JRPGs have a linear, dialogue-heavy story that can go on for a long time, something that visual novel fans are familiar with. These stories are lengthy, full of riveting characters, and revolve around numerous plotlines that can be head-turning at points. However, players who love such epic narratives will find the JRPG genre to be full of games right up their alley.
