As usual, the Japanese are vastly more patrician than Westoids. Just like how they shunned Final Fantasy XVI, they have also shunned E33 which they simply refer to as "なんとか33" ("Something or other 33") because the title of the game is too confusing for them. Game barely sold anything and basically made no impact at all in Japan.
Remarks online from Japanese users are things like "The characters look so generic and ugly" and "the gameplay doesn't look so exciting". For them I imagine it's like going to a sushi restaurant in France filled with white people preparing the food and serving it. They instinctively know nothing being served is "real sushi" and so they are disinterested and leave the restaurant to find another restaurant run by one of their countrymen. Who can blame them?
Why is Japan always right about everything? While Westerners are obsessed with astroturfing E33 to win the Keighley Awards, Japanese are literally fighting in the streets trying to procure the Switch 2 and rushing to buy Bananza. They barely even remember E33 exists. Extremely high probability E33 will also win no major awards in Japan.
