Would protagonists like these
appeal more to Western audiences than teenagers?
Not to knock on P5! I loved those characters! Ryuji Sakamoto was a riot! But I have to ask would a JRPG sell better in the West in the protagonists were militaristic and had real time combat like Kingdom Hearts and was M rated?
But then that would probably be Mass Effect or Dragon Age in anime garb wouldn’t it?
Should a Japanese company make something like that?
