There was an episode of Bonus Round on Gametrailers.com that I think you might find interesting- it's all about Japanese cultural bias in the game market and comparing the two markets and the crossover appeal. It's very short and I think doesn't cover enough but I learned a few things from it.
You know I'm totally a fan of JRPGs and I've been waiting for Lost Odyssey for a long time, but I've also wanted to play Mass Effect since it came out. I might have to borrow that from you when I finish Lost Odyssey.

You look at the big differences between Oblivion and Mass Effect and you see that ME is bout dialogue and decisionmaking and really ROLEPLAYING; Oblivion is an open world with tons of items and respawning enemies, while providing lots of side quests and a single storyline. The morality of your characters i never really a question.
