Exactly. I still don't get why a lot of reviewers are taking away points for being too japanese, and Persona 5, which is the most japanese a game can get, still had a lot of praise going. It's an awesome game so I won't complain, but I always felt that the Xeno franchise in general was always pretty underrated. Well, almost any Monolith game. And I'm pretty sure that the fact that a game like FFXV has a 80+score too, is because it tones down "japanese things". I mean, that game wasn't good to begin with. |
Yea there are hints of hypocrisy when it comes to Japanese games being...Japanese. It’s almost as if Japan/Asia reviews a Western game and criticizes it for being Westernized. I’m glad XB2 is appearing to be another stellar game for the Switch’s first year lineup but I am a bit peeved reading reviews that complain about being too Japanese. I’m sure Tokyo Mirage Sessions had its share of complaints of being too Japanese when it was already the point of the game.
