There were also many games and series made at the same time featuring popular eastern properties, but most of those are unknown in the west because they were expected to bomb. We got a few, some of the Nobunaga's Ambition and Romance of Three Kingdoms and Shingen the Ruler games in the wargame space, Destiny of an Emperor in the JRPG space.

@NinjaDebugger@mastodon.sandwich.net indeed, though we know these exist, it seems they are overshadowed by the Middle Ages/D&D motif, even in non-Western cultures. the point is the persistence of this singular 'royalty' narrative and style at the subconscious level, and the long-term effects of that, despite the possibilities. it is quite possible that this persistent narrative is not the most common, but it is the loudest in many circles.
