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

 

 

That's pretty fair, actually. I've heard of them, but I have yet to play them.

I own a PS2. Which one should I pick up?
