The irony in this is that the department store responsible for this statue (they built one at every single one of their 100+ stores around the country) is owned by a major US bootlicker and rightoid. He's such a dumbass that the santa in his ads is blue instead of red because to him red = communism

Personally, if the game behaves like FF, it's a JRPG, and if it behaves like D&D it's an RPG. Like, it's about mechanical depth vs. narrative depth.
However, it is hard to discuss these differences since to most people "RPG" just means "game with damage numbers and stats" anyway.

IMO, that's on TGA for not having two categories for RPGs and JRPGS instead of them competing for the same award. Both genres are massively different and have distinct goals, it's like having Persona 5 and Disco Elysium competing against each other
