Furthermore, I think as we entered the 360 generation, there was a general skepticism/revulsion at anything that was too archaic, goofy, colorful or especially Japanese. This was the same year as dark realistic Bomberman.

Yeah this was definitely during the "Japanese games are bad, get with the times :smug:" era. That era was what led to some Japanese developers, as Naoki Yoshida talked about in interview about FFXVI, seeing the term "JRPG" as pejorative because of how Japanese games were talked about in western media.

There's an old rear end interview with Phil Fish, the LISA guy and the YIIK dude and all of them talk about how jrpgs "havent evolved since the SNES" (I bet that's the last time they played one lol) and that their games are going to bring the genre forward. Insane that anyone took these clowns seriously.

Are the Mario and Luigi games JRPGs? Cause those rule. Well, 1 and 3 do. So actually on average the series sucks.

It was heartbreaking when I started up FFXV and I was almost immediately sent to talk to an NPC who filled up my map with markers. I wish Japanese developers were still doing their own thing. AAA games have gotten so stale.

Only the lisa guy had some impact after making 3 games and never returning. Yiik is known more for the dev having meltdowns. Tunic is a better fez
