They suck at RPG writing. Is it a cultural difference? Compare the quality of writing in something like The Witcher 3 to Persona 5, it's not even close.

have you actually seen their writing, or just the "translations" done by americans with a chip on their shoulder?
Is this real
Yes zoomzooms its real, it's also a good game play it sometime
Is there translation patch?
I don’t believe this
This looks like scumbag steve wrote it no way this made it to market
90's translators turned every game into future Undertalelike
YOOOOOO KANTO!?
I LOVE GEN 1
Tohokubros... they're laughing at our accent...
Persona series are VNs for morons. There are many better written visual novels than there are JRPGs, S;G, Muv Luv, and more.
>Muv Luv
>well written
Lol, lmao even.

RPGs are about choices and Japan is strictly against its people being able to choose.
Shikoku most comfy to be honest
I can't think of an RPG with good writing from outside of Japan.
Witcher 3 is close, but only if you look at scenes in a vaccuum. The overall connection of scenes and events is a laughable clusterfrick of half-assery.
Can you think of an RPG with good writing from Japan? Didn't think so.
Dragon Quest genuinely has some great writing, but I'm guessing that most of it is lost in troonyslation.
Part of Japan is called 'china'?

Yes.
>witcher 3
>good writing
Do westoids really...?
Where is the "inside"?
People actually think Witcher 3 has quality writing? Really? No wonder outlets are giving Baldur's Gate 3 best story awards.
>Seething this hard because Elden Ring utterly mogged all western games in 2022
Minimalist gameplay focused RPGs like Dark Souls and SMT>>>>>> shitty crpgs and jrpgs that are heavily story driven
And yet 90% of game stories that people talk about are japanese. It really activates your almonds.
Reminder that, Just to mention two titles, 30 years from now people will still talk about FFVII, but no one will even remember BG3.

You don't interact with actual people much, do you?
he's not wrong thoughever
no one will be talking about baldur's gate 3's story in the future
no one will be talking about bland soulless movie games' stories either, nu-god of war and spider man 2 will have no legacy
>he's not wrong thoughever
Yeah... people really remember FF7 for the "story". Not you know, Fallout, Morrowind, Mass Effect, Planescape, or the god damn Witcher games, who gives a frick about those games, right?
Everyone just endlessly talks about how amazing Final Fantasy stories are and when you say "classic RPG narratives", surely, Xenoblade is the go to one, right?
I used to be a weeb, so I have some sympathy for this logic, but for frick sake, this is beyond delusional.
Well yeah. There's a reason some of our most hated RPGs in recency are JRPGs.
