Meanwhile, Western RPGs focus on the player creating their story and becoming immersed in the world around them.
Most JRPGs use mechanics, dialogue options, and cutscenes to tell a story full of fantastical creatures and lively characters, though often at the cost of creating a fully fleshed-out world. And where Western RPGs use graphics as a primary form of storytelling, that isn't the case for JRPGs. When examining possible choices in visual style, developers must first decide if the graphics will drive the purpose of the game. So with that in mind, let's look into the real reason why there aren't more 2D RPGs floating around in the West. It's more because the JRPG and RPG genres are, at the end of the day, very different from each other - which means they require different techniques and styles in order to succeed. And it certainly isn't because RPGs can't work in 2D.
This isn't a haphazard mistake on the part of Western developers. AAA devs don't dare make games sans that third dimension, even though it seems to work so well for their Japanese counter parts.
