I think it is probably differences in culture and the styles of JRPGs are different than WRPGs. Also, it seems to me that western audiences like characters that are tough and realistic looking.
I'm American, but I love JRPGs. Some of the games I'm looking forward to are Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, The Legend of Legacy and Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon.
