Why can't Japanese people make even one good RPG?

>Souls and Dogma were the only ones to do something new
Please play more JRPGs, for the love of god.

Why can't humans make even one good video game?

a big problem amis the sheer number of shiteaters who buy VN trash like Dragon Quest XI, encouraging devs to produce more of its ilk.

B-But they're the only ones making good RPGs nowadays

>let me, a secondary who only plays mainstream popular games, tell you about the genre

Why is Dragon Quest XI considered an RPG anyway? You can't impact character growths in any major fashion. All you do is choose from a really awkward skill tree, which in turn just changes what animation you watch during the RNG turn-based combat. IF you choose an ability from the skill tree, and not some flat stat increase.
Can't do much else in the game, but it's an RPG all the same, apparently.
And yet being an "RPG" is the new hip thing. You can do fucking anything and be an RPG now, from shitty new moviegames to ancient, shitty moviegames.
Nobody gives a fuck about player involvement. Watch yer cutscenes and enjoy it, and buy the season pass!

Dragon Quest its still an RPG despite being so simple. That the series choosed to stay as a barebones enjoyable experience doesn't take from the fact that the game still has the minimum requirements to classify as one. RPGs don't need to be super complicated mega stories with a lot of choices and 20 different types of attack just to pad game time

Even in the west nobody agrees what constitutes an RPG.
Like, would you consider Warframe an RPG? It technically ticks every single box.

if we literally go by definitions 90% of all games are rpgs

Oh look another thread crying that every game isn't like their favorite wrpgs

I like both WRPGs and JRPGs. I don't mind that they're different and just from this decade I loved both games like Disco Elysium and New Vegas or Bloodborne and Nier: Automata.

But I would really like to see a japanese developer make something inspired by the more role-playing variety in wrpgs. Something where you would for example have skills related to persuasion and stealth, have several choices which could lead through different plot-lines etc.

I'm hoping that now that more western rpgs are being released on consoles that might eventually happen.

Genres are more a matter of lineage than anything else.

>RPG means I get to wank to a character creation screen and play as a self-insert and do dumb shit
>it doesn’t mean putting yourself in a character’s shoes and exploring what it means to be that person

How about you think about what it means, retard.

>it doesn’t mean putting yourself in a character’s shoes and exploring what it means to be that person
So every game where you play as a specific character is a role-playing game?

>experience
well, that describes DQ well. Because a game it sure ain't.

RPG has degraded as a term to mean a game where visible numbers are applied to characters that influence some form of the game

>Because a game it sure ain't
But it is tho just a really simple one

They've made several, you spazmataz sperg faggot fucker.

Natural doctrine is kind of neat

>doesnt post a single wrpg or jrpg
Very reddit post

more like no game is an rpg
even witcher doesn’t fit the bill, there are no consequences to being geralt, you do not explore his struggle to survive in a world that hates him, you do not have to travel all over to eke out a meagre living doing horrifically dangerous work for people who despise you, you do not go into an inn after killing some cockgoblin looking for a hot meal and a bed only to be charged an outrageous sum to sleep in the barn smelling shit all night only to wake up with cramps, an empty stomach, and no money
calling video games an exploration of being someone else is laughable
