I'm happy for Pokopia and Expedition 33, but the number of people calling them unprecedented revolutions in game design really show how many people in the west refuse to engage with JRPGs on principle.

Pokopia borrows most of its design from the studio's prior Dragon Quest Builders games, and Expedition 33 is basically a modern turn-based JRPG in design.

@QuestForTori I’m reminded of all the western MMO players who refused to try out FFXIV because they didn’t like the “anime style” when in fact it has a mostly photorealistic style.

@QuestForTori I played dragon quest builders and liked it okay, I didn't think it was the greatest thing ever, and thought it kind of dragged on a bit, and then never really thought pokopia looked super interesting, especially when I heard it's similar to dragon quest builders, so its been funny to me that it's been doing so incredibly well, I guess pokemon really just sells that well haha

@QuestForTori Every description I’ve heard of Expedition 33’s “innovative” battle system has just sounded like a description of Super Mario RPG to me.
