Y-town chiming in. Can't eat any other chip dip. Lawson's and Isaly's are mainstays in my house.

Reply to comment by Dangerous__Object in According to Skill-Up's interview of Naoki Yoshida (Final Fantasy 14 and 16), the term "JRPG" was actually viewed as a derision in the Japanese game development space: by Gorotheninja
This is correct. CRPG was a term first used in the late 70's and early 80's to differentiate between computer role playing games and table top games like DnD. By the time FF1 and Dragon Warrior hit the NES in the US, the term CRPG was no longer used. And the RPG moniker was applied to video games.
The big change came with Bioware. Their early RPGs were vastly different than the (now combined) Square Enix style of RPGs, and the term CRPG came back to the US gamer lexicon. JRPG began being used to describe the more linear style of most big name RPGs from Japanese studios. Whatever slight they felt was perceived, and unfortunate. Because I highly doubt any slight was intended.
