Personally when I was growing up I prefered the lunar silver star story on the saturn to the PSX one even though the PSX version got an english translation by Atlas.

Which pretty much explains why top-down JRPGs seem to be a staple for the system, only for them not to see a North American release as they felt it wouldn't appeal to western audiences.

I've always been curious about this, since Saturn is oft-touted as an RPG powerhouse but the selection outside of Japan was pretty meager. I found this ancient site that seemed to be talking about the games while the Saturn was still active:

Like you said, a lot of traditional 2D stuff. A pretty good amount of 3D stuff too, though.. and a lot of the 2D games look kind of lazy.

And yet Sony was said to have had a grudge against developers who held on to 2D on the early days of the PSX.
