My guess is that they should probably go back to their roots and not try to appeal to Western Gamers but to their hardcore Japanese crowd. Honestly I think thats what pulled most people into Final Fantasy in the first place. A little taste of an Eastern developed game.... Start making games for your fanbase on their platforms (Wii and PS3 where the fanbase is in Japan) and start gravitating towards a more Japanese feel in your games and you will find Success both Critically and Commercially |
Except back in the SNES and the PS1 eras, Japanese developed games were the best games out there. Western games have surpassed Japanese games in several ways. 10 years ago, JRPGs was considered to have some of the best storytelling of any genre. Now, many feel that a lot of the stories in JRPGs are carbon copies of past JRPG stories. You will be suprised by the fact that Western developers have surpassed Japanese developers when it comes to storytelling(some exceptions aside) despite the fact that Western developers used to think stories were unnessessary in games.
