That's the big difference between Japanese and American developers. Japanese devs are great story tellers and American devs are not.

I agree.  Japanese games do have better stories to me.  Japanese people put more heart and soul into they work.  Look at Japanese anime like Naruto, Bleach, DBZ, and others.  They have good story lines and great fighting scenes also.  I hate American cartoons. 

Naruto, Bleach, and DBZ are cartoons targeted at young teenagers. The only other people who think that they're deep, soulful works of fiction are Western manchildren.

Manga and anime are not just for young teenagers.  They're for all ages.

I'm not going to step into this Japanese vs. Western storytelling pissing contest, but I studied Japanese literature, Japanese cinema, Japanese culture, and anime in college, before I changed my major from Japanese to Film.  And manga and anime are definitely for all ages.

And my wife loves Naruto, so you just called her a manchild.  Them's fightin' words.
