All those except Persona are on Nintendo consoles, so they don't exist for me. And Persona is turn based, I tried playing P4G on Vita, but after I fell asleep few times in the first dungeon while fighting some amorphous blobs a dozen times, I decided to quit (especially since it took about an hour of pressing X to get through the comic book to get to actual gameplay).

The reason why I really wanted to give JRPG a shot was South Park. The game was well made, interesting, moved at a decent pace, and it was turn based. And I didn't mind, as it was explained well and did not require hours of trial and error.

Only then, when I tried to play other turn based games is that I realized rlthat they were all the same (main character, party of 3, fiddle with skills, take turns...) and it certainly didn't help that they were anime kids and girls with oversized mammaries for no reason at all.

Then I tried Child of Light, which is a completely diferent aesthetic, but I simply couldn't get past the combat.

In retrospect, it seems the only reason I liked South Park.game was because I am a huge fan. Had it been any other story and characters with the same gameplay, I probably would have given up as well.

I tried some other Japanese RPG action games like Toukiden, Soul Sacrifice etc. but gavebup quickly, as all they are a procession of monsters you need to kill over and over again.

I do realize the problem is my taste most of all, but I think I gave it a decent effort, and now I can avoid those games for good.

That South Park game was inspired by Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi. :) 

(not story wise of course, lol)

But my point still stands: they're not all the same. I can understand why you think a lot of them are boring though, I'm also bored by Pokémon's battle system.

Didn't know that, I learned something new. But I probably couldn't play those Mario games for more than 30 minutes. And still, the next South Park was my favorite E3 announcement.

And now that I think of it, last Japanese game I gave a chance was Akiba's Trip. I figured, it's not turn-based, it's a type of open-world game which is positive for me....

...and then again I get bombarded by lines of text I need to press X to get through.

So, I guess that is my second major problem: static "comic books" and walls of text. I much prefer cinematics of the western developers (I do realize that this is a cost cutting measure, but I cannot tolerate it).

I also hate that. Was a major problem for me with Bravely Default.

Seems to be the case with Yo-kai Watch as well, but I'm still hyped vfor it, looks pretty unique and fun.

But if the animations are nice, I can really enjoy turn-based combat. It allows me to play relaxed while laying in my lazy couch. I also prefer the visual style of Persona and Genei Ibun Roku over realistic graphics. The colours really pop. The world in Genei Ibun Roku is also based on Tokyo, so I'm going to love to spot all the locations I recognize.

I think both sides just arent open minded enough to deal with the cultural differences.

Whenever we get a game like Bravely Default Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy western gamers need to push their political views about girls in skimpy clothing, religious references and spiky haired teenage boys. Its not even about the gameplay anymore its always about tropes this tropes that. But give them a Japanese game with minimal next to no Japanese references in it like Metal Gear Dark Souls and Silent Hill then they shut the fuck up and actually talk about the gameplay.

On the other hand Japanese gamers just dont like anything non Japanese its like they like Resident Evil but they dont like Dead Space they like Dark Souls but they dont like Elder Scrolls its like they like fictional fantasy and realistic worlds as long as they have that Japanese touch to them.

Not everyone on both side, some people are enough open minded to enjoy both cultures, i can enjoy a brainless shooter and a visual novel after that, and i feel very sad for western gamers who are not able to enjoy such games, they miss great opportunities like Persona, Virtue's Last Reward ( what a wonderful master piece, at least 50h on this one , what a crazy experience, i feel very very sorry for someone who cant play this one ) , Phoenix Wright, Gravity Rush, Soul Sacrifice, Deadly Premonition,...

The truth is the deepest clever and  immersive experiences are mostly japanese games so it's really sad for these people

Spider-Man is the ebodiement of that trope. I doubt it's that. The style they write in, yes.

Yet, those are the games that are being localized the most. Unfortunately, they're not even making the kind of games that I mentioned in my post anymore and if they are, they're certainly not being localized in the West. The games are too big to be niche and too niche to be big. What are the majority JRPGs you see nowadays on shelves in the West? The ones you described, for the most part. Those are the games you see on the shelves.  I have absolutely no problem with these games as I play a few of 'em, but right now, they're the only game in town as far as JRPGs are concerned and for me, personally, just not as good as the pre-2007 JRPGs. The AA JRPG is dead for the most part (except Tales and SMT) and now the niche has taken their place, while the big boys like FF and Dragon Quest take half a decade to release or more (or in Dragon Quest's case, is just never localized).

Unlike many others who enjoy JRPGs, the story means almost nothing to me. If I want a good story, I'll read a book. I care more about gameplay, so if something makes more sense gameplay-wise as opposed to story-wise, for example the pins in The World Ends With You, I prefer that. I think The World Ends With You is a great game, years ago i would have even called it my favorite, but there is no way that the story will get any compliments from me.

Well, Final Fantasy is pretty popular.
