Designed by Yoshio Kiya and released by Nihon Falcom in 1983, this was possibly the first action RPG. It introduced real-time combat, sci-fi elements, a persistent open world with day-night cycle, and survival mechanics. This was a precursor to Falcom's seminal action RPG franchise, Dragon Slayer.
The first Ultima game to be published by Origin Systems Inc.
Released by Koei in 1982, The Dragon & Princess (ドラゴンアンドプリンセス) is the first known RPG developed in Japan. It tasks the player with finding a king's stolen treasure. It is a hybrid between the RPG, adventure and strategy genres, and laid the foundations for tactical RPGs.
A horror-themed RPG by Level-5 where the player must take up the role of a Shinigami (Death God) and fulfill the final wishes of those nearing death. The title was being developed for the PSP with mobile phone ports planned later down the line but it has since been canceled.
Action RPG sequel to Cosmic Soldier, released for Japanese computers in 1987 and for North American PC in 1989.
