Basically this. Also, as I grow older, I'm finding it harder and harder to empathise with the playable characters. Like, Persona 4 was praised a lot for the character depth (admittedly loads more than the average jRPG) but at the end end of the day the struggles of the PCs really felt like, well, teenage stuff (relationships, finding your "true self", SCHOOL etc. etc.)
Sure, you could argue that there are a shed load of characters outside the playable cast providing maturity in whatever way we'd like, but all the focus on SCHOOL gets a bit tiresome, you know?
