If there's one thing that carries most JRPGs, it's their stories. Across one game or an entire series, many fans have become enamored with JRPG universes through the strong emphasis on storytelling these games usually have. Fantasy JRPGs are often high-stakes, with the fate of the world or even the entire fabric of existence hanging in the balance. Even when the stakes are lower, well-written characters and a good plot will be just as engaging for players.
