When I think about games with great storytelling I usually jump to short adventure games. Stuff like Tacoma or NitW or Technobabylon. I have a really hard time thinking of games in longer formats that have great writing. Like the best recent JRPG story I’ve played, Persona 5, still has obvious huge problems and doesn’t justify all its length. Am I missing good, recent examples in JRPGs or is there work to be done at improving this?

Feel free to chip in.

Tbh there is plenty of crappy writing in western RPGs and open world games too; jrpgs are just a topic of interest.
