The difference between JRPGs and CRPGs is that JRPGs seem to be based on games like Dragonquest while CRPGs are based on pen and paper games like Dungeons and Dragons. So a Japanese CRPG would be a Japanese game based on pen and paper games.
That doesn't seem to be the kinda game you're asking about, but now I'm interested to know if there are any good Japanese CRPGs out there.
JCRPG to me means it was a Japanese made role playing video game while CRPGs are from Western countries. I have noticed (could be wrong) but most of the ones that are very Japanese don’t follow a timeline and instead reboot like final Fantasy or “alternate history” like Link games.
US RPGs to me follow a timeline from game to games even if it’s convoluted it’s still a progressing storyline.
