I think the problem is that S-E are actually trying to appeal to Western gamers now. In the PS1 era, they didn't do that. They mainly developed games aimed at Japanese gamers and because of that, they had a unique appeal that many Western gamers found foreign, yet cool and hip. Now, their games are starting to become bland due to the need to appeal to Western gamers. For example, Resident Evil, believe it or not, was developed mainly for Japanese gamers pre-RE4.

Ive heard their claim to "trying to appeal to Western audience" before. While believable....its tatallly stupid. They ALREADY HAD THE WESTERN FANBASE!!!!

FFVII:

3.9(JAP) compared to 3.09(US) sales

Thats almost equal to the number of fans they have in Japan. What more could they want. The issue was with game quality, not the platform.

Their efforts have proven misplaced so far this gen. You would think they would realize this.
