Maybe Capcom will move away from their incessant kowtowing to everything they perceive to be "Western?"


That would be heavenly. I won't deny that Inafune has done great things, but his petulant, disrespectful attitude has really made me lose a lot of sympathy for the man.

I was worried that Inafune san would screw up a possible Onimusha 5 but now we might get a Onimusha game soon that is not overly westernized.  


That would also be very nice. Though the thing is there's a perfectly acceptable time period in Japanese where Westerners could show up.

What I meant is that Onimusha should remain a very Japanese Samurai Horror Anime Style Game. and not turn into a generic western style  Action Horror like CAPCOM did with RE5.  

also Onimusha 1-3 were st in the Sengoku Period between 1560-1588 and Onimusha 4 is set in 1997 15 years after the death of Nobunaga Oda and just before the EDO period started. Westerners first turned up in Japan in 1555 western guns and tech is fitured in Onimusha 2, 3 and 4 inffact in Onimusha 4 there is a lot os western stuff and  of the 5 characters you play as is a Spanish.   

I was actually thinking of the Meiji Era where Japan opened its doors after an isolationist period. Plus it would be a good excuse to have cowboys or something. Lately I think too many Japanese developers have gotten the wrong idea about appealing to the West. It seems that the most successful developers are ones that DON'T pander to America like Atlus, Nintendo, and Platinum Games.
