Japanese Games and Western Games

[Spade]

I prefer Japanese games over Western, but I honestly feel Western games have come a long way while a lot of Japanese games seem to be stuck in the past. This comes down to the battle system, characters, and story. Most of which are pretty cliche and a lot of the stories (most notably like Tales) are very similiar in themes. They are obviously execptions, but I feel Western games are better than Japanese games when it comes to adapting to different ways to play. 

So my personal opinion is Japanese > Western
Objectively speaking I feel Western > Japanese
