Some jRPG’s are easily associated with baiting adolescent (or, fully grown) boys with imaginary girls.

Soon after, You are introduced to several girls, which you must guide out of ‘pseudo hell.’ These girls were supposedly going to face an eternity of damnation.

Get them to the top of the tower, and everyone is happy. After some tutorials and a bit more exposition, you’re off to your dungeon crawl.
