After Elder Scrolls, jrpgs lost a lot of luster. The turn base and lineal path doesn't compare well with open world rpgs that you can do so much without either doing the main story line. I liked Persona 5 but I didn't enjoy like I used to enjoy jrpgs in the 90s and early 00s

Then the game simply isnt for you.Personally, a linear game that has a bigger focus on storytelling has a bigger potential to become a better game than any kind of open world games.That applies to any kind of genre.Why?Because its easy for the game to lose focus on a open world setting, whereas a more linear, or a semi open world style game, benefits from that focus and manages to deliver a much more robust and enjoyable experience.

But that doesn't apply to every genre, you don't need to focus on storytelling to make a great game.
