Not saying I disagree with the average, but reviewers these days are either too lazy (as in biased) or too cowardly when it comes to JRPGs. They can have very complex systems and reviewers don't like that. You might very well end up liking these games more than any other game out there once you master the game design. The learning curve for some JRPGs can be high, but in many cases you'll never want to go back to another genre once you understand the mechanics well and are able to manipulate them to your benefit.
It's a battle well worth it and I'm relearning that from Type 0. I was put off by some things initially, but I actually turned in Fallout 4, then later got Type 0 and I haven't regretted the decision.

Not so white knight, not so. Polygon have persona 4 a JRPG a 10 and Xenoblade X a 7. The game looked less promising every trailer so I don't know why anyone would expect any less. People just wanted it to be better than FFXV and got too caught up in the hype

Adding to that, I think we should definitely wait and see what score MetaCritic gives Persona 5 to make a judgment about whether or not Western outlets are biased against JRPGs. I will be holding the game up to extremely high standards (basically, if it isn't the greatest game ever created, I will be disappointed), and if it meets my standards but still gets a sub-90 score, I think we can say that MetaCritic is biased.
