Maybe dialouge writing is dicey in translation but Ive rarely played a JRPG that didnt have a good overall narrative and/or interesting charachters. Maybe im just an easier lay but. So many of my favorite stories are JRPGs.
Western ones it depends, but thats ok because narrative isnt the core engagement of WRPGs.
Most JRPG games have shit writing. Western ones too, but JRPGs are more formulaic and generic.

I mean, even the BG3 plot is formulaic and it's still the best game I've played in years.
