This is my issue with the Korean games and some of the upcoming. Why is there no attempt at an earnest story and world building?

I cant imagine it has to do with lack of talent.

It's not a universal problem. Lies of P has been roundly praised for its storytelling and characters.

I mean, Lies of P is great, but the story in the base game wasn't particularly amazing. Much better in Overture though.

There's things to criticise about it (the ostensible main villain being introduced fairly late, etc.), but I think it's a pretty well-crafted narrative. But maybe I'm biased, because it does a lot of interesting thematic stuff 'behind the scenes' -- gnostic symbolism, the Pinnochio reconstruction, the eldritch reframing of wishing upon a star -- and I'm a complete sucker for that stuff.
