Naoki Yoshida: The term "JRPG" is discriminatory

During interview the Naoki Yoshida stated:

“For us as developers [in Japan], the first time we heard it, it was like a discriminatory term,” explained Yoshida. “It’s as though we were being made fun of for creating these games. So for some developers, the term JRPG can be something that will maybe trigger bad feelings because of what it was in the past.”
