Is it me or do Famitsu seem to score JRPGs higher than the Western media?

They do.

Why do the Japanese love JRPGs more than Western gamers do?

I don't know really. Many JRPG's, including final fantasy, now sell as well in the West as they do in Japan. Unfortunately, Western reviewers at large have never seemed to warm to JRPG's unique sensibilities.

 

A lot of them don't have terribly interesting stories so that probably has something to do with it.  FF and SO so seem to be just as popular here as in Japan.  On the other hand, DQ(and Tales) is more popular in Japan and KH is more popular in the US
