...let me finish that, they will flop, unless they have MASSIVE advertasing campaign, like FF has (or use to had). If they want to succeed in west they have to make games for western audience - you can't take Bethesda, which makes definiton of WRPG in modern sense, as an example, and hope to achieve the same (or near same) level of success with japanese styled game (yes, Xenoblade is a great game, but it sold 800k in total). That's why I think From Software (Souls IPs) is one of Japanese developers that is on the right track, their games (though still niche) are very well suited to west with their dark tone and themes (albeit maybe bit too dark for mainstream).
