Skipping the story in a JRPG to get to more combat is so backwards to me lmao (hexbear.net)

Maybe dialouge writing is dicey in translation but Ive rarely played a JRPG that didnt have a good overall narrative and/or interesting charachters. Maybe im just an easier lay but. So many of my favorite stories are JRPGs.

Western ones it depends, but thats ok because narrative isnt the core engagement of WRPGs.

I mean, even the BG3 plot is formulaic and it's still the best game I've played in years.
