List of best-selling Japanese role-playing game franchises
This is a list of best-selling Japanese role-playing game franchises. For inclusion on the list, a franchise must have sold at least one million copies. For the purpose of this article, a JRPG is defined as a franchise which: is considered a role-playing game by reliable sources and was made in Japan, or made in another country, but otherwise the franchise would be difficult to differentiate from a JRPG due to having common traits found in JRPGs such as: anime/manga character designs, RPG elements, fantasy setting and widely considered as being inspired or influenced by a JRPG. Sales numbers are based on the most recent available sourced numbers and often may not include non-video game sales or more recent sales; actual total sales numbers may be higher.List
