honestly I think anyone who replies to "I want fewer JRPG characters in Smash" with "It's a Japanese game" thinks Japanese devs only make JRPGs and no other genres https://twitter.com/RaymanForSmash/status/1380953942901854216
"it's a Japanese game of course they'll include JRPG characters!!!"

man if only Japan made fighting games or pioneered the adventure game and visual novel genres or was the country where THE single most important horror (/shooter?) game franchise was created
it's not as if Japan only likes bishonen or buff anime men and nothing cute and cuddly, like anthropomorphic creatures or anything

certainly not
the only thing I hate more than Smash Bros. is its fanbase god damn
according to their 2020 New Year art, Bamco considers their main series to be (from left-to-right):
- Idolmaster (idol management simulator)
- Tales of (JRPG)
- God Eater (action... RPG?)
- Tekken (fighting)
- PAC-MAN (uhhh)
- Taiko no Tatsujin (rhythm)

lots of JRPGs there, yup
