I've come to realize Japanese games should be written by western writers

Nah dude, this is seriously all Japanese games. You ever try to make sense of the plot of Street Fighter? The Legend of Zelda? Metroid? Metal Gear Solid? Resident Evil? Xenoblade? All jumbled, inconsistent, incoherent, and over the top.

I hate to break it to you breh but the stories in video games are straight bullshyt 99.9% of the time regardless of origin.

Dude said this is only a Final Fantasy thing and it's not. This permeates across all genres with Japanese developers. The lore is present for Zelda, Street Fighter, and Metroid...why can't a coherent plot be? Just because Japanese developers don't give a shyt about their franchises plots doesn't mean the fans feel the same way bruh.

I didn't say it was only FF, the OP seemed to be judging Japanese games by Ffxv. What's wrong with the stories in the Trails games? What about Ico, Sotc and the last guardian? Hell what about old school FF games? Suikoden?

The only RPGs I've come across with decent to good stories have been - (a) Suikoden, (b) Trails of Cold Steel and (c) The Witcher. That's it. I'm not saying there aren't others but holding western Rpgs to a higher standard is laughable.

Get Bioware and Bethesda to do that first and we'll see.

Those are open world games where the story is not the focus nor the selling point.

The selling point of JRPGs is often the story and it's always terrible.

Find me a single Japanese game with a story with movie like quality like the last of us or uncharted 2
