Is that really surprising? The 'j' in 'jRPG' clearly suggests who are these games are targeted at. They arent meant to appeal to westeners.

A lot of people somehow are under the impression that because Final Fantasy and Pokemon are popular in the West then that means that the jRPG genre as a whole is popular and appealing to western people. It is not.

Not necessarily.  JRPG is not even an official acronym.  The J is just used to tell us that that specific RPG was developed in Japan.
