Post some really rare settings, I'll start: Indian myth. I'm no poo in the loo but indian myth with all it's many armed retard elephants could be pretty interesting as a setting.
The only game I know that has indian monsters that I know of is genji, dawn of the samurai.

Modern RPG's. Besides cutesy Japanese games, it seems to be relatively untapped.

I heard they stopped doing that because of licensing agreements. Something like

Apart from pic related I can't think of many games that are set in Ireland apart from a bunch of grand strategy games and some Warband mods (plus the Viking Conquest expansion).
What's weird though is that I can think of a ton of games that feature Irish mythology in some way. Apart from pic related, there's DMC3 (the Dullahan), Darkstalkers & MvC (the Morrigan), Nioh (Saoirse), Smite (Cu Chulainn who has a Scottish accent for some reason, which would really annoy me if I cared about that game), Warcraft (Banshees), Fate/Grand Order (Fionn mac Cumhaill/Finn McCool), and probably way more.

Oh shit I remember folklore. It was so hyped when it came out.

Yeah, I remember being quite excited for it at the time. I got it when it came out and I vaguely remember it being pretty good, but I don't remember that much about it as I never got to play it that much. It still sticks out in my mind for being the only game set here that I can think of, though.

Digital devil saga has a lot of Indian myth shit going on. The names of locations, groups, and items are derived from it. Though I guess SMT is cheating since it features all sorts of mythical creatures.

SMT/persona has some Irish and celt mythos representation, but it's still definitely an untapped source for media. Maybe Dullahan popularity in japan will spread awareness at some point

Ancient south- and mesoamerica with Maya, Inca, Aztec and stuff. Some games have some bits and pieces here and there but I would love to see a full fledged fantasy RPG like the hundreds of western games but with pre-columbian america feel and lore instead of the same old medieval europe stuff we always get.

SMT's another one that slipped my mind. It seems to be Japanese games that feature Irish myths the most, dunno why. One of Japan's current princesses even went to Dublin to study English a few years ago, I believe.

I had an idea for an Exile-like game set in the Indonesian isles, if I ever made it. Though, what advantages do those cultures have in terms of style and setting?

As >>13734682 says, precolumbian americas as an actual setting and not just a "generic aztec/maya/inca themed level".
I already made a post about this in another thread so I'll just link to it

Wasn't there supposed to be a PC game based on Deadlands at some point? Whatever happened to that?
Also, not vidya but I maintain Doomtown (the original, not the watered-down remake) was the best CCG ever made, it blows Magic right out of the water.

Check out Boktai, especially the second game. The central plot is about vampire hunting and sun/dark magic, but the game has a lot of western inspiration. There's a shit ton of references to old western movies.
The gameplay and music is fantastic, too.

Sanic adventure sort of did (devs even traveled with a Sonic plush over to South America to see ruins). Music is a bit inspired from that as well (mystic ruins music).

Part of me wants to make an RPG set in the US, either in the present day or sometime in the last century, with semi-stylized "realism" like MGSV. It would actually be unique for its genre. To my knowledge, the only popular RPG set in the "real" world is Persona, which is very distinctly Japanese.

It became Savage World system (think engine for vidya). The makers became retarded lazy and just slap their system on every bloody settings, including Deadlands itself as Deadlands: Reloaded.
They became footnote and everything was forgotten about them except this one gem itself.
