Another fun read Fred!

You might want to check out Fight Magic Items by Aidan Moher. It collects a ton of interviews and anecdotes to create a kind of personal history of JRPGs. It's not authoritative, but it is a great view into the constraints and trends that gave birth to jrpgs alongside their western counterparts.

I love the idea of end game players taking on the storyteller role for others!
