the writers for Japanese games are generally good at character development and world building, but they are trash as making a coherent, interesting and compelling plot. They have the attention span of a prepubescent teenager with too much imagination and it shows. Imagine a JRPg having a plot like the last of us. It will never happen if the Japanese are writers. I don't even need to get into the metal gear games. Also they can't write English dialogue, it always comes off as corny. Let's get naughty dog writers for the next final fantasy game.
I've come to realize Japanese games should be written by western writers

The only thing jap devs should touch is combat. Everything else should be handled by the west

They don't write English dialogue retard, they write Japanese dialogue that is translated to English.

They really just need to work on dialogue everything else is fine. I can't even take FFX seriously due to how bad it is (Im not just talking about the laugh scene) FFXV is a step in the right direction though in terms of dialogue characters talk pretty naturally there.

The writing in MGSV was very weird, until i read that it was translated from Japanese to English. Like Quiet's Theme and Sins of the Father songs were written in Japanese and you can tell when they're singing cause nothing rhymes lol

Does a JRPG exists that has a story that's almost grounded in reality and not incredibly weird?

I like the weirdness of Japanese games (not the otaku pedo shyt) if I want western stories I'll watch a Netflix series
No way would I want a Suda 51 game written by Ubisoft or Naughty Dog

the weirdness is what makes them unique. FF wouldn't be the same if it didn't have a anorexic kid with a sword as big as his body fighting a alien project that's trying to destroy the earth with a meteor
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.

nikka Zelda, and metroid have bare bone simple plots what are you talking about
Street fighter doesn't even give a shyt about it's story.
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.nikka Zelda, and metroid have bare bone simple plots what are you talking about
Then they should learn some fukkin English if they sell games in America.They don't write English dialogue retard, they write Japanese dialogue that is translated to English.
Like I said, the basic concepts, world, and characters are cool. But the actual plot and execution is nonsensical. They were fine when we were kids but they don't stand the test of time because Japanese writing is trash
