Overview: Including the ongoing series such as FINAL FANTASY, Kingdom Hearts, and Dragon Quest, Square Enix have developed numerous RPG titles. These are known as JRPGs and formed its own distinct culture. We would like to explain how the JRPG audio has developed culture-wise and technology-wise by looking into the music, sound effects, and dialogues. In each of the three categories, the traditional techniques as well as the cutting edge audio techniques we have used and are going to use in the latest JPRGs will be described. We believe the knowledge of JRPG audio help enhance your audio development techniques.
