FF9 was their last fully-featured Final Fantasy game.  In FF10, they started taking out some features like the flyable airship and FF classic theme.  By FF 13, it was pretty much an action game with RPG elements.

 

But, trying to Westernize so much will give them Westernized losses.  Notice how most JP publishers are profiting while Western publishers are bleeding.

 

The only hope they can start reversing things is to get rid of Wada immediately.

Is that true? Most of the time there are western games in the top ten... how can the japs be profiting if they don't sell as much? 

And I never thought I'd say that but I wouldn't miss SE except for Enix like someone said.

Copies sold does not translate to automatic profits. Look at EA and Ubisoft. Hell, I remember a quarter (1-2 years ago) where Konami profited more than Activision, even though they didn't have any big real big releases, while Acti has its COD.

All this talk of "The West is now on top, Japan is a thing of the past" is a load of garbage.
