Most of them are just really boring.

Why do you care what others think? Just enjoy em bro.

JRPGs are by nature story heavy, and Japs are as a rule of thumb very bad writers
video games don't lend themselves very well to good plots as it is, so combining those things leads to disaster

Your destiny...is less than mine

Because they are Japanese games and only Anglo press has an international reach. They fully control the narrative and they'll always give awards and inflated scores to their friends.

old stigma

most people we just parrot "all you do is farm rats and different colored slimes for 40 hours then kill god" when the list of jrpgs that actually do that is like 3

Little to no replay value, with older ones (largely) having nothing but nostalgia going for them and modern ones mostly just being shitty low-budget kusoge designed to pander to the lowest rung of otaku and weebs. There are exceptions of course without even having to stretch the concept of JRPG to encompass literally every RPG of Japanese origin, but for the most part it's just pure shit. Classic WRPG's are generally more interesting games, but modern WRPG's are often just as bad, if not worse than JRPG's.

"role playing"
Anime cringe
Grinding
No real strategy
Add positioning and actual choice on what to level up, just having "fire" and "fire 2" is boring

most jrpgs don't have these issues anymore

there are definitely some that cater to grinding cause thats what some people want, like disgaea games

but there are plenty of jrpgs that don't have any required grinding, that have a lot of strategy, and have plenty of build variety

They have manga tier writing. Which is simply put shit.

>the most popular RPGs are JRPGs
Its just salty warpig cope

Can salty WRPG fags stop using this picture out of Context? The whole point of Xenogears is that you're on a quest to SAVE God, not kill him.(you couldn't anyway). That guy in your picture is also literally the villain and also advocates for creating their own God.

>he's LITERALLY the FREAKING UNIRONIC villain!!
Plebbitors really can't go a single post without one of their filler words.

I didn't use it out of context. I used it as an example of a JRPG.

Would you rather I use this?

Was it autism?
Yes I would

alright but that screenshot is infinitely worse

Are you saying this because you can read Japanese, or because you read a (poor) localisation in your language?

Poor localization isn’t enough to consistently replicate the same tired tropes over and over again on multiple occasions across multiple franchises.

>JRPGs
The relationship between man and God is born of the syzygy of the Aeons. Soon the Kether Matrix will allow us our Apotheosis and this world of suffering will be condemned to the Abyss of Tehom.
>WRPGs
Garthrag Bloodfang the orc general has kidnapped the princess! Soon she'll be sacrificed to summon forth Mortang the Black!

What tired tropes? I can only think of such things for Bishoujo games, and those tropes are specifically there for fetish pandering.

Aside from the fact that the 'god' he's talking about it's just a machine, I don't even know what's wrong with the phrase. Apparently WRPG fags think all games should use only their tropes and nothing else, they become furious if anyone dares do things differently. No wonder the games they pretend to love are always soulless ripoffs of Tolkien, Mad Max or Star Trek, it's always those three themes over and over.

>tropes
Easily the most thought-terminating "critical" term of modern day.
JRPGS have rich themes, metaphysics. But the blind cannot see...

Anglos are far more uncreative than Japs, they are very clearly terrified of doing media that would alineate normies and be perceived as 'weird' or 'pretentious'. That's why they use the same tropes a million times and will cover everything with shallow sarcasm because taking things too seriously and having a passion for things is considered geeky. This without counting the shallow identity politics they always include in their games. Only when a strong womyn appears they seem to be taking seriously their work.
