I mean… annoyingly a Japanese developer can make a W/CRPG and a western developer can make a JRPG because the genres are defined by gameplay styles, core engagements, and tropes not actually the region they come from.
Extra Credits did a whole three part video series about this back in like 2010 thats worth watching. Video game genre names are BAAAAAAAAAAAADDDD.
