Why do Persona's "bland," silent protagonists consistently top the polls not just in Japan, but in other regions of Asia as well?!
Interestingly enough, this has to do with the fundamental difference in how Western, more individualistic cultures view the self/"ego" compared to the more inter-dependent view that's the tendency of most Asian cultures. So in this video, we'll be going over a big case of "values dissonance" between these audiences.
