Why do some JRPGs explode into the mainstream while others stay niche? 🎮💭

In this episode, we break down what helped series like Persona and Final Fantasy reach a wider audience, and why other great JRPGs don’t always get the same level of attention.

We dive into the role of marketing, budgets, and publisher strategy, along with how timing, accessibility, and overall presentation can shape a game’s reach
