khanshin

because of the game system

because of the character design

because of the story

marketing?

western peoples don t have the same tastes as japanse peoples?

jrpg hero :the kid who will always try to save the world when he could just live in peace(if he doesnt want to, a girl will just force him to do it)

american game hero: the gorilla who always have some dark past, negative and kill before thinking(if he thinks then he s not the hero)

battle game hero: the solitary who doesn t know what he s doing of his life, wandering everywhere with no interest for anything( if he reach his objective, he will just be a loser so he has unreachable objective)

the I m almighty hero: you know the one who s never supposed to lose (if he lose then it's the player's fault)

no talking hero: the one you dont hear speak or think, just go with the flow, if he has to save the world or die why not
