I hear what they're saying, but I've just never heard of anyone trying to dismiss a game for being a JRPG. Sure, they have their style and tropes, and they aren't for everyone, but I've yet to meet anyone who seriously claims that a particular game is bad because it is a JRPG, as opposed to a game simply being a bad JRPG.
It seems to me that between Sony, Nintendo, From Soft, Bandai Namco, Square Enix, and even, yes, Konami, Japanese gaming culture has had a huge influence on so-called Western gaming culture.
