There's a general apathy toward game graphics and high-end visuals among Japanese gamers. This was already present during the ps3 generation and resulted in japanese triple A publishers shifting toward westernization for marquee franchises and even handing ip like lost planet and devil may cry over to western developers to cater to the western market. This continues all the way to final fantasy ofg all franchises going so western that it became and english-first game with FF16. And of course franchises like Resident Evil were ALWAYS pretty westernized. the tastes of japan and the west basically started to move in diametrically opposed directions as the tastes of North America and Europe started to converge. Cinematic movie games became the triple a standard for both NA and EU when previously NA was much more catered to by ultra violent franchises like Mortal Kombat, twisted metal, and god of war, which were historically rejected in europe.
