Fatlus RPGs are a massive time investment, and people started hearing about how inferior the narrative was to Persona. Nobody wants to sink 100 hours into something worse than that.

Turn-based RPGs only sell well if they have an exceptionally good narrative or are low budget nostalgia faggotry simulators (pic related). Nobody actually buys turn-cringe slop for the gameplay.

There'd be a bigger niche for these types of unpopular games if people simply had more money, but that's not the case, so the industry must either contract, or keep releasing stinkers that no one can afford anyway.
