It’s usually Japanese, not Chinese, but both of those languages use fewer characters per sentence compared to western languages, because of how their writing works. Fewer characters means faster text and fewer text boxes, which saves time, especially in text heavy games like RPGs. The players select menu options by memory, so the language barrier isn’t a problem.
