WTF? Seriously? I know I've been out of gaming fandom a long while now due to lack of money for the next-gen consoles/updated computer, but jrpgs were the thing while western rpgs weren't (although they were starting to make inroads and become better). Also, just cause it's a Western (i.e. European/American) game rather than an Eastern (Asian, Japanese) game does not make it better than the Eastern game. Due to different countries and playing and story styles in each country you may find you prefer games that originate in on country over the other. Nothing wrong w/that. At all. I don't know of anyone who'd mock you for liking the Tales games; I've heard nothing but good of them from people who've played them.

I think this just means that the OP is hanging out in some fairly shitty fandom circles. Only the worst kind of nerds care so much about JRPG vs WRPG vs whatever that they would put down fans for liking them. (Honest critiques and comparisons are another thing entirely; and I am, of course, giving the OP the benefit of the doubt and assuming that they're carrying themselves as a person who knows social context and isn't yelling up and down "OMG JAPAN IS AWESOME AND YOU'RE ALL TROGOLODYTES FOR NOT LIKING THIS CLEARLY SUPERIOR GAME etc." all obnoxiously-like.)

sa

Wow I need to proofread my comments. "Obnxiously". Just "obnoxiously". Welp, that was embarrassing. Huh, my spellchecker isn't working.

Shiiiit son, you've been out of the game a while. You're right, I remember those days too (back when FF was in its heyday) but they are long over. Fallout outsells FF now.

Haha, this. Any JRPG that isn't Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts is basically niche in the Western world, and even FF isn't selling like it used to.
