How to recognise a Japanese game without seeing any Japanese words/lyrics etc:
1. Costumes are modelled after traditional Japanese costumes e.g. kimono
2. Traditional Japanese values e.g. humility and trying to take the blame are common
3. There is a strong connection with other living things, the spirits in trees, animals etc.
And, of course, almost everyone involved in the production process are Japanese! The Japanese are fantastic patriots.
