List of best-selling Eastern role-playing game franchises

This is a list of best-selling Eastern role-playing video game franchises. For inclusion on the list, a franchise must have sold or shipped at least one million copies. For the purpose of this article, an Eastern role-playing video game is defined as a franchise which: (1) is considered a role-playing game by reliable sources and was originally made in Asia or (2) was originally made in any another Eastern Asian country, such created in Japan, created in China, and created in Korea, but otherwise the franchise would be difficult to differentiate from an Eastern role-playing video game due to mostly having common art style design traits such as anime, manga, chibi, donghua, manhwa, and manhua character art style designs. The numbers for sales or shipments are based on the most recent available sourced numbers and often may not include non-video game sales or more recent sales; actual total sales numbers may be higher. This list does not include standalone games and gacha games with Eastern RPG elements.
