there’s a discourse going around today about why western devs can’t make a game as good as chrono trigger and i think it’s worth saying that a lot of japanese devs can’t make a game as good as chrono trigger either

I saw a take that was like "you can't make good JRPG stories because you don't realize that's it's all just Shonen Jump" like people don't routinely misunderstand what makes those stories tick also lmfao

i think thats what started it and i do agree, like jrpgs are absolutely pulling from jump i don't think you can say that's not true, but watching the posts go around the last day i think there's a lot of assumptions being made on way too small a sample size, just cause of character limits
