gotta love how every time one of these japan vs west threads pop up they always need to bring old ass wrpg because everyone knows how dead the genre is nowadays

It's not that they can't. Their citizens don't want to play them. Asian people are weird, they actually like living in box apartments and sitting in empty tatami rooms. They prefer linear, grindy games set in little towns and focused on simple things like high school drama.

F76 is the best MMORPG on the market now with wastelanders

Well, yeah. People would rather talk about the good games than the bad games.
Also, best JRPG is unironically Mother 1

There have been plenty of good WRPGs over the last several years, what are you talking about?

Both WRPGs and JRPGs saw a significant decline as they fell out of popularity, JRPGs less so but the genre has mostly survived on baiting otaku's, not quality games like in the SNES days. Also the last couple of years a lot of good WRPGs have come out, just not the stuff modern video game players and reviews call RPGs like this trash
