What Information Does a JRPGC Game Database Entry Include?

A JRPGC game entry is a structured record that answers the practical questions you'd ask before deciding whether a title is worth your time: what it is, when and where it came out, who made it, how it plays, and how it connects to other games. Using the site's Wizardry Xth: Mugen no Gakuto – Unlimited Students page as a reference point, a typical entry combines core release facts, gameplay classification, and community-oriented extras in one place.

Core release and identity fields

Every entry starts with the information that identifies the game unambiguously:

• Title — the game's name, including regional or alternate naming where relevant.
• Release date — a specific date when known (the Wizardry Xth entry lists March 22nd, 2006).
• Platform — the hardware it shipped on (PS2 in that example).
• Genre — a functional classification such as "Turn-based Dungeon Crawler."
• Developer — the studio credited (Michaelsoft Inc.).
• Series — the franchise the game belongs to (Wizardry).
• Game modes — for example, Single player.

These fields are the fastest way to filter a title in or out. If you only care about PS2 dungeon crawlers, the platform and genre lines settle it immediately.

Gameplay and content details

Beyond the basics, entries describe how the game actually plays. The Wizardry Xth page notes that it uses a turn-based combat system with a party of six customizable characters drawn from 10 races and 15 professions, and that it improves on the team compatibility system of its predecessor while changing the crafting process. It also records that the game was released only in Japan, and that a near-identical PSP title, Class of Heroes, reused most of its source code with different surface presentation but the same dungeon layouts and items.

That kind of detail matters when you're deciding whether a Japan-only release is playable for you, or whether a game you've heard of is effectively a reskin of another.

Tags, ratings, and connected media

Entries can carry additional layers that help with discovery:

• Tags — descriptive labels such as "book crafting," "Japan Exclusives," "sequel," or "turn-based."
• Ratings — a scoring field available in the database structure.
• Soundtracks — soundtrack information is part of the site's catalog scope.
• Screenshots — visual references, with view counts shown on the page.

Tags are especially useful for finding games by mechanic or theme rather than by title, since they cut across genres and platforms.

Database-level tools around each entry

The entry sits inside a broader resource that includes search, a randomizer, release listings (announced and recently released), articles, and a community Discord. The site also tracks fan-translated games and upcoming releases, so an entry's context — is it out, is it translated, is it Japan-only — is often visible from the surrounding database rather than the entry alone.

What an entry won't tell you

The available page data doesn't include pricing, purchase links, or regional store availability. If you need to know whether a title is buyable in your region or what it costs, that information isn't part of the entry as shown — you'd need to check a storefront separately. Treat the database as a reference and discovery layer, not a shop.
