Genuine question, I have fun with the games but the UI’s of the are so horringly bad and not user friendly. Whats the philosophy there? (See Dragons Dogma 2).

It’s just Japanese design choices. Many Japanese websites look like they’re from 1999, and while the Japanese are kickass at making games, their regular non-gaming software engineering isn’t actually that good.
who are you? Phil Fish?
It’s not just the games… trying browsing around on the web on JP-specific websites, LOL, it’s like going back in time to 2001 internet.
JP (and other Asian) UI/UX design is starkly different from Western, so much so it’s a documented thing UX designers study.
As someone who lives in Japan, I can confirm it’s painful whenever I’m forced to use a Japanese website for anything. Mobile apps are even worse. I really don’t understand, how hard can it be?
The best UI I ever saw in a vidéo game is from Persona 5 a japanese game
Japan isn’t good at adapting these days. Fax machines still in offices, flip phones not uncommon, horrid web design from the 90s.
You’d hate to see gov agencies and finance companies in the U.S. then.
You’ve never played Persona 5 Royal. Best looking UI ever
Japan values tradition over innovation.
It would be helpful if you explained how it looked bad and user unfriendly.
So compared to what – Starfield UI?
This is exactly how I feel about FF16, otherwise a beautiful game.
Ui in that game looks fine to me?
Should explain your POV a little more, because now it looks just like a dumb, borderline racist take.
The hide shitty games behind even shittier controls and UI so you don’t pay attention to how bad the actual game is.
Looks good to me. I don’t know what’s not user friendly about it, it shows you everything to need to know and more.
True answer: Japanese mentality is “don’t fix it, if it isn’t broken”
Many of their websites/online stores look like straight up taken from late 90s.
