Nay
Reasoning:
- The Japanese would never buy a western made title even if it was a Japanese name.
- The only Final Fantasy Square Enix should ever put in the hands of Western devs is MMO's (because the Japanese suck at Sandbox and MMO's).
- Western Devs apply both worlds of roleplaying and Storytelling.....the Japanese want 100% focus on storytelling.
- The Japanese want emo kids while western devs today are giving more variety.
- Western devs give choice and help you shape out the story, whilst Japanese devs wont as it throws off their story.

Speaking of emo, I always wondered how on earth people can identify themselves with characters in JRPGs.

I find the characters in JRPGs totally uninteresting and out of this world.

Are JRPG-lovers emo themselves? Or they like to identify themselves with and/or feel sympathy for emo characters?
