Are Western reviewers becoming biased against JRPGs?

Reviewers these day mostly expect godly graphic from RPG ,and seems many JRPG won't match their taste.

 

I would say that it is more a problem of narrative and experimentation with gameplay forms. JRPGs are stale. WRPGs are not.

I am pretty sure the "JRPGs are stale" thing was a misconception caused by the fact that alot of those cookie cutter JRPGs are from the big companies and not the super niche companies like Atlus and Nippon Ichi.

 

 

I wasn't aware that Atlus developed games. Or that any of the JRPGs they published had fresh narratives.

You clearly never heard of the Shin Megami Tensei series, Atlus's flagship RPG series
