>I want western entertainment to recover
That's extremely unlikely. The problems afflicting the western video game industry, and media industry, are deep-rooted and systematic. Furthermore, they ultimately stem from issues persisting in western societies for nearly a century now, and which the political class has little will to fix. The people that made the good western games you know were systematically forced out of the industry, which now rewards diversity quotas and obeisance to leftist ideology over anything else. This is what's driving the mass migration to Japanese and Asian media, many consciously, but others subconsciously, and the latter group aren't fully cognizant, or are in denial of, why western media is so shit now, and so they bring their baggage with them, much like Californians moving to other states and then voting for the same policies that ruined their home state, or even third-worlders doing the same. I really need to play Ar Tonelico eventually. I've been interested in it ever since people talked it up in relation to Stella Glow, which is a game I hold very fondly. God damn GUST and KT for leaving it to rot!
