Role Playing in Japan
Does anyone here know of any RPGs set deep in Japanese culture? I've been thinking lately and noticed that most RPGs that come from Japan mythologies and settings that are culturally based in Europe. That seemed a bit odd to me. Out of all the JRPGs out there I haven't come across one that takes place in feudal Japan or any era before. The Final Fantasy series from time to time may throw in an environment with Asian influence like Wutai in VII, but it's usually restricted to just a job like Ninja.
The only JRPG I've played so far that had a Japanese setting was Persona 3, but that is more of urban fantasy than the more traditional sense which is the main discussion here.
Japan has a lot of interesting mythologies that I'd like to see explored more in these video games, but why are they so few and far between?
