Unwatched about 30 minutes of this before realising I'd already seen it before on YouTube, they split it into 3 parts for each region. Maybe the combined version has some extra content but I'm okay without it. I recommend if you've not seen it before though.
I think it's pretty silly that we have "JRPGs" and "WRPGs". Japan is a singular country, the west is... half of the entire planet. What would you call a Chinese made RPG? A CRPG? Nope, that acronym is taken by computers (another silly distinction, all role playing video games are technically CRPGs because consoles and even phones are computers, just not in the same way as a desktop or laptop PC running Windows).
@sdelfin Bernie Stolar was so bad for Sega. The Saturn could've been partially salvaged in the West if they leaned into some of it's large Japanese library, but he wanted to tank that console intentionally, giving Sega almost 2 years with virtually zero market presence before the Dreamcast released.
