Well, JRPG's as a branch from the RPG genre have the best history and character development of other RPG type of games, since the JRPG games tend to be more slow paced and linear than WRPG. Plus the combat system of JRPG also tend to be more strategic oriented than WRPG.
I understand that most of that doesn't appeal to the core WRPG players, since they prefer to have freedom to roam about and develop their character as they see fit, but that comes with the cost of a more vague storyline and weaker characters.
