Heeeeey come on some jrpgs have great stories!

OK maybe FF7s writing is... Rough in some places but the story? It's good.

Mother 3? Fabulous story. Inspired one of the most popular current indie RPGs

Persona 5? Problematic in some areas but the overall story was good!

    Quick, who was the main villain and what did he want to actually do?

    You could say Yaldabaoth, though I was more thinking of the politician guy because Yaldi is kind of an asspull who IIRC only shows up about 5 minutes before the boss fight.

    Anyway, my point is that while I think Persona has some decent writing (the pyramid dungeon is probably the best?), the overall story is actually pretty lackluster and it feels a lot more like 5 different things stitched together.
