so you want them to make dragon age? and strip away even more of what made FF popular in the first place?

You mean fancy videos like FF VII started?  FF wasn't very popular before that in the west.

sure that and eastern game design his list of ways to make FF better was just turn it into a western RPG and shorten the games I personally don't think that would make FF better, and I am more a fan of WRPGs. JRPGs are what they are making them into WRPGs would just make them western games with anime inspired characters. from what I have heard he basically wants a more westernised FF XII and XI/XIV IMO that is not the way foreword for JRPGs that is the way WRPGs are headed and western devs have more experience with that style of game and tho the results would be interesting I feel that doing so would destroy everything unique about JRPGs and turn them into inferior WRPGs. I feel that JRPGs need to find their own way foreword, and sorry for repeating myself but that isn't copying WRPGs that sold worse (not saying dragon age is not a great game) what that way foreword is IDK but I don't think copying a style of game that developed from a style of game you copied developed into your own style is the way foreword for the JRPG style.

well that ended up longer than expected I guess I should proof read but it's 3AM so F it.

Edit: small tweak to the last part
